INTRODUCTION
Powered Speaker System
Thank you for choosing active sound reinforcement speakers. The PSR-15A is an active two-wayloud speaker capable of extremely high sound pressure levels, and designed to give you the best performance of any loudspeaker in its class and price range. Our design goal was to build a sound re­inforcement speaker with:
1.High precision, high output, and accu­ rate playback.
2.Very wide, smooth dispersion of mid and high frequencies.
3.Ergonomically correct physical design for easy transport and set up. Through the combined resources of our top-notch mechanical and analog enginee­rs, we were able to achieve our design go­als in every respect. The result is a sound reinforcement system equally at home in a concert setting, in the studio,in the ci­nema, or in a home theater.
PSR-15A,Our exclusive design useslow­negative feedback, yet allows the amplifie­rs to maintain low distortion and stability and to quickly recover when driven into cli­pping. The amplifiers include the followingfeat­ures: The low-frequency amplifier produces up to 700 watts peak(350 continuous) before clipping. The high-frequency amplifier produces up to 100 watts peak (50 continuous) before clipping. Each amplifier has its own compressor circuit that acts when the input signal is large enough to cause clipping, disto­ rtion and excessive voice coil heat. The compressor will automatically decrease the input signal to a safe level. The compressor in the low-frepuency amp works independently from that in the high-frequency amp. The low-frequency amp uses servo feed­ back loop which senses the current flo­ wing in the woofer coil. This controls the low-frequency response and maintains low distortion at high output levels. The low-frequency amplifier also has a seeping filter. This will automatically move the low cut-off frequency up or down depending on the amplifier output.
The Transducers
The PSR-15A active speakers feature a15-inch high -power low-frequency woofer and a 1.75-inch titanium diaphragm high­output precision compression driver. This high-frequency driver is mounted on an ac­oustically non-resonant exponential wave­guide, providing a wide, controlled disper­sion and precise reproduction of the criti­cal upper mid-range and high frequencies. The result is an unbelievably smooth off­axis response that allows everyone in the audience to experience the same high­resolution audio no matter where they are seated. Each driver has been specifically desig­ed by our engineers for optimum perform­ance in the lightweight high-strength ca­binet.
