PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Impact 50 is an ultra-compact passive sound reinforcement loudspeaker
designed for applications wherever a very small enclosure is required to
reproduce sound. The Impact 50 drive units are a 5” high efficiency low/mid
transducer and a 14mm liquid cooled polymer dome tweeter. It includes an
internal first order high pass filter network designed to give a very clean
transition between the two drive units while ensuring that the tweeter is
protected from harmful low frequency signals.
The Impact 50 is intended for fixed installations and as such is supplied as
standard with the WB-50 adjustable wall mounting bracket, allowing horizontal
and vertical adjustment.
The Impact 50S
Impact 50S is a magnetically shielded version, and may be safely used for

multi-media applications in close proximity to television screens and computer
monitors.
The constant voltage version (Impact 50T)
constant voltage version (Impact 50T) has been designed for use in 70 volt
constant voltage version (Impact 50T) constant voltage version (Impact 50T)
and 100 volt distributed systems where long cable runs, and a large number of
loudspeaker units, make the use of a low impedance speaker impractical. The
internal line transformer is a high quality type offering wide bandwidth and
three power tappings.
A weatherproof option

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The Impact 50 is a passive loudspeaker system. This means that it requires only
one amplifier channel for correct operation, the frequency splitting between the
low frequency driver and the high frequency driver being accomplished by the
internal passive crossover network built into each enclosure.
Passive subwoofer enclosures may be used in conjunction with the Impact 50 in
order to extend the frequency range from the system. The Impact 110.2, a dualcoil, two-channel band-pass subwoofer, is recommended for this purpose.
When using the Impact 110.2, additional power amplifiers are not required since
the subwoofer contains passive crossovers for both left and right channels,
allowing Impact 50 speakers to be connected as satellite units.
If subwoofer enclosures are used in a bi-amplified system in conjunction with
Impact 50 enclosures, additional amplifier channels and external electronic
crossovers will be required. The Turbosound TMC-T1000 power amplifier and
the LMS-A6 loudspeaker management system are recommended for this
purpose.
