Congratulations on your purchase of an excellent, high performance loudspeaker system

from MTX! We are confident that your purchase will bring you years of listening pleasure.

MTX’s TP speakers consists of single 10" and single or dual 12” woofers matched with our
Generation 2 X-radial designed horn loaded high frequency tweeter designed to provide uniform
sound dispersion, and coverage area, with excellent sound quality. Your speaker is designed to
perform equally well in many different applications, including low to mid level live sound reproduc
tion, public address, karaoke applications, or mobile entertainment. The long excursion woofer
and horn-loaded tweeter with high frequency protection circuitry make your TP speaker suitable
for voice or music.

Your speakers carrying handles, mounted to a strong, lightweight cabinet make it easily
portable to use anywhere you need it. The rugged corner braces allow for upright positioning
and interlock for secure stacking of multiple cabinets. The versatile 5-way binding posts and 1/4"
phone jack inputs make it easy to connect to any amplifier. You can use a single speaker for mono
or connect a pair to a stereo amplifier for a stereo pair. Some models are equipped with pole
mount cups to allow for stand mounting

WARNING: To avoid injury, DO NOT SUSPEND the enclosure.

AMPLIFIER CONSIDERATIONS

Your speaker system specifications list RMS power and Peak power ratings. Power
amplifiers are also typically rated using RMS power, which is an indication of the power level
an amplifier is able to continuously deliver to a loudspeaker without damage or distortion to
the amplifier. Consult your amplifier owners manual to confirm power output at the rated
impedance at which your amplifier will be operating with the speakers connected. These
ratings should be considered when selecting the best amplifier to power your system. For
general use, amplifier output should match or exceed the RMS rated power of the speaker
system.

WARNING: Overpowering could cause serious damage to the loudspeak­er.

HOOK UP

Your TP speaker comes equipped with 5-way binding posts and 1/4” phone jack for

easy connection depending on your needs.

CAUTION: Be sure your amplifier is turned off before you make any wire
connections.

5-Way Binding Posts

Use color coded, two conductor or stranded, twisted pair wire to connect your speaker
to an amplifier using the 5-way binding posts. Each has two individual conductors covered
with insulation, and are often marked to help you make the proper connections. Insulation on
one side of the wire might have a ridge or colored stripe. Or, the two conductors may have
different color insulation (red and black, for example). Be sure to connect (+) on the speaker
to (+) on the amp, and (-) on the speaker to (-) on the amp.

1) Separate the conductors at each end for about two

inches.

2) Strip away 1/2” of insulation from the end of each

conductor.

3) Unscrew the positive (+) terminal and insert the (+)

stripped end of a conductor wire into the hole on the
side of the terminal post.

4) Hand tighten the terminal to secure the wire in

place.

5) Connect the conductor wires other stripped end to

the amplifiers (+) terminal.

6) Repeat steps 3-5 to connect the speaker to the

amplifier’s negative (-) terminals.
