IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!

Please read this very carefully before operating this unit

Read ALL instructions carefully before using this unit.

Do not operate this unit near water, in the rain or where there is moisture. If this warning is ignored a serious electrical shock or death may occur.

Do not attempt to service this unit. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified, ISP approved service personnel.

Never remove or defeat the ground connection on the power cord of this unit.

Care should be taken to avoid spilling any foreign objects or liquid into this unit.

This active speaker system has three internal power amplifiers and an external heatsink located on the back of the speaker for cooling of the internal amplifiers. Care should be taken to avoid placing this active speaker in a location where the external heatsink does not allow proper cooling of the internal amplifiers. Avoid placing this system close to other heat sources. The external heatsink may reach high temperatures under normal use. Do not block the external heatsink with any other object. Make certain there is proper ventilation for the external heatsink when is use.

Do not drive the Tripower 15 into excessive heavy distortion for an extended period of time to avoid premature speaker failure.

Failure to follow these instructions may void the warranty.

Caution: Exposure to extremely high noise levels can cause permanent hearing loss.

The Tripower 15 speaker system is capable of producing in excess of 126db SPL at 1 meter. Continued exposure to noise levels in excess of 90db may cause permanent hearing loss. Below is a chart of the OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) regulations for Occupational Noise Exposure. Please note: OSHA requires hearing protection for any work environment when the sound levels exceed those shown in Table G-16 when measured on the A scale of a standard sound level meter at slow response.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing ISP Technologies Tripower 15 active speaker system. The Tripower 15 is a high output three-way active speaker system designed to deliver HI-FI sound quality for high SPL sound reinforcement applications. The Tripower 15 is designed with a 400-watt 15-inch woofer, a 300-watt 10-inch midrange driver and a high performance, 2-inch high frequency compression driver. The Tripower 15 has three separate power amplifiers capable of producing upwards of 700 watts of power. Each amplifier receives its input signal from an internal 4th order crossover network specifically designed to provide optimized phase and frequency response at each crossover point. The internal amplifiers are based on ISP Technologies patent pending D-CAT (Dynamic Current Amplifier Technology) amplifier technology. The D-CAT technology is capable of delivering extremely high output current providing an improvement in transient response, output current, and a noticeable improvement in PUNCH. The D-CAT amplifier technology utilizes a monolithic power amplifier driver that reduces parts count and greatly improves reliability. The D-CAT amplifiers provide improved reliability by including short circuit and over temperature protection.

The Tripower 15 offers both ¼ inch RTS and XLR balanced inputs as well as, ¼-inch RTS and XLR outputs for connecting multiple speakers. A sensitivity adjustment knob allows you to adapt the speaker for a wide range of common signal levels. The Tripower cabinet is made of high quality 13 ply Baltic birch plywood with a durable spray on black finish for long life.
