Pyle PHSP4 & PHSP5 Indoor/Outdoor PA Horn Speakers User Manual
Please follow these instructions to obtain optimum results from your Pyle Indoor/Outdoor PA Horn Speaker. Keep this manual handy for future reference.
How to Use
- Polarity: Careful attention to polarity is required when more than two speakers are in operation at the same place; otherwise, poor quality sound or low sound pressure will be reproduced. Connections should maintain the same polarity for parallel connection and different polarity for series connection, similar to battery connections.
- Long Wiring: For long wiring runs, low impedance connections can lead to large power loss and inefficient speaker operation. If wiring exceeds 50 meters, equip a matching transformer and use with proper high impedance.
- Low Impedance Connection: For low impedance connections, the total impedance of speakers should equal the output impedance of the amplifier.
- Distortion: Do not operate the unit for an extended period with distorting sound. This indicates a malfunction which can generate heat and result in a fire.
