TOUR SERIES LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEMS From Fender Pro Audio Owner's Manual for 118s, 118sc P/N 050751
Fender Musical Instruments 7975 North Hayden Road, Scottsdale, Arizona 85258 U.S.A. Fender knows the importance of sound reinforcement. From the simple box-top mixer to today's professional touring concert systems, the need to communicate, to make the connection between the performer and the audience is foremost in Fender's mind. Perhaps no other single piece of gear can make or break your band's sound. You see, your sound system is more than just a combination of dials, wires and speakers.

CONNECTIONS SETUP SUGGESTIONS The two 4-Pole Speakon™ connectors and the two 1/4" phone jacks are wired in full parallel so that any one of the connectors may be used as an input and the other connector as an output to another subwoofer. This allows the multiple cabinets to be "daisy chained", eliminating the need for several long runs of speaker cable. The placement of any speaker can dramatically affect its sound. Thus, there are three primary considerations to review when placing subwoofers.
CROSSOVER SUGGESTIONS The output level of the subwoofer(s) should be matched by ear to the output level of the full range cabinets by adjusting the level control at the crossover (if it has one) or at the power amplifiers. Normally, the output of the full range cabinets is subjectively higher than that of the subwoofers so a balance can be achieved by turning down the mid/high frequency signal at or before the power amplifiers.
