Safety precautions Information regarding use of loudspeakers WARNING! Never stand in the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers driven at a high level. Professional loudspeaker systems are capable of causing a sound pressure level detrimental to human health. Seemingly non-critical sound levels (from approx. 95 dB SPL) can cause hearing damage if people are exposed to it over a long period.
T10 The T10 is a very compact loudspeaker system which can be used both as a line array and as a high directivity point source speaker. For these applications the T10 cabinet provides two different dispersion characteristics which can be swapped over without any tools. Fig. 1: T10 loudspeaker The core of the design is a unique combination of a rotatable waveguide with horn and an acoustic lens. The horn natively provides a vertical line source with 90° horizontal dispersion.
Connections 1 2 3 4 5 passive crossover 1 2 3 4 5 The T10 cabinet is fitted with a pair of EP5 connectors. All five pins of both connectors are wired in parallel. The T10 uses the pin assignments 1/2. Pins 3/4 and 5 are designated to active subwoofers, where pin 5 is used for SenseDrive (only available when using a D12 amplifier and 5wire cabling). Using the male connector as the input, the female connector allows for direct connection to additional loudspeakers.
Controller settings For acoustic adjustment the functions CUT, HFA, HFC and CPL can be selected. CUT circuit Set to CUT, the T10 low frequency level is reduced. The T10 is now configured for use with the T-SUB or other d&b active subwoofers. HFA circuit (T10 PS setup only) In HFA mode (High Frequency Attenuation), the HF response of the T10 system is rolled off. HFA provides a natural, balanced frequency response when a unit is placed close to listeners in near field or delay use.
Dispersion characteristics The graphs below show dispersion angle over frequency of a single T10 cabinet plotted using lines of equal sound pressure (isobars) at – 6 dB and –12 dB.
