Use of the speaker
This speaker is designed to perform in professional environments. Speech, music, or any other type of
sound can be played trough this speaker.
For optimal performance, a suitable PA-amplifier is needed. Each Trono speaker has its own
characteristics, based on the internal components. For every Trono speaker, there is a maximum
power handling, optimized for the woofer and tweeter.
Devine advises to use a PA-amplifier that has about 1.5x the RMS power of the maximum RMS power
handling of your speakers. The RMS values are measured with a static sinus and not with dynamic
music, therefore it is safe to use this kind of configuration. As the Trono speakers have a larger
maximum peak power handling, they are capable of handling short peak power values.
This configuration is also beneficial for your PA-amplifier, as it does not have to work at full power to
provide your speakers with optimal power. Make sure though that you do not exceed the maximum
capability of your speakers, which occurs when you hear distorted sounds or when the CLIP LEDs on
your amplifier are lit.
It is possible to connect a second Trono speaker to the second output of your first Trono speaker.
However, take notice that the impedance of your speaker system drops to 4 Ohm. Make sure your PAamplifier is suitable for this impedance or contact your local dealer if you have any doubts.
Use proper cable and proper connectors to connect your speakers and amplifier. Devine recommends
to use prefabricated speakercables with pre-mounted connectors.
Devine also recommends the use of the lockable speaker connectors, for optimal reliability, but for
convenience reasons there are also 6.35mm jack connectors and wire terminals positioned on the rear
of the speaker.
When making your own speaker cables, only use good quality speaker cable with at least a 2x 1.5mm²
core. Thin wiring and high power may result in melting cables!
Use your ears to make sure you don’t blow up your speakers or cause any other damage to its internal
components. When you hear any distortion or when your PA-amplifier is clipping, you need to take
action and lower the volume on your mixer or amplifier.
All Trono series speakers are equipped with a 35mm stand adapter,
which makes it possible to place the speaker on a suitable height.
This makes the distribution of high and mid-frequencies easier. See
the image for details. 35mm is a standard size for speaker stands, so
most speaker stands will fit the speaker properly.
Warranty is void when damage to this speaker is caused by improper
use. When any damage to this speaker occurs, please contact your
local dealer for help.
