XP ARTIST SERIES LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEMS 110XP 112XP 115XP 1 1 0 X P, 1 1 2 X P, 1 1 5 X P INSTRUCTION MANUAL Fender® XP Loudspeaker Systems The Fender® 110XP, 112XP, and 115XP two-way, professional quality loudspeaker systems are designed to form the basis of everything from a public address system permanently installed, to the nightly rigors of a working band's portable sound system. Add ultra-deep bass to the your XP Series Loudspeaker System with a Fender 115sA or 118sA Subwoofer Loudspeaker System. Features of XP Artist Series Loudspeakers: · Great fidelity using a trapezoidal cabinet design · Moisture sealed 5/8" particle board cabinet · Pole-mount sockets · Two high-current, 1/4" phone jacks to enable "daisy-chain" cabinet linking · Dual piezoelectric compression drivers · Silver grill cloth · Metal corner protectors and glide feet · Genuine Tolex® cabinet covering · Compact and portable · CAUTION: Speakers produce magnetic fields which may interfere with the operation of nearby electronic devices such as televisions and computers. Increase the distance between speakers and electronic devices to reduce interference. · WARNING: Fender loudspeaker systems are capable of producing very high sound pressure levels which may cause temporary or permanent hearing damage. Use care when setting and adjusting volume levels during use.. · No user serviceable part inside, refer servicing to qualified personnel only. Speaker Connections Each XP Series Loudspeaker cabinet is equipped with two 1/4" jacks. These standard phone jacks are wired in parallel, allowing either one to be used as the input; the other jack can then be used as output to an additional speaker cabinet in a "daisy-chain" connection scheme. Fig. A illustrates the XP system "daisy-chained" with Fender 115sA or 118sA Sub-woofers. Using the recommended speaker impedance Powered Mixer load ensures optimum efficiency and signal XP response. The total Series impedance load of a "daisy-chain" scheme can be adjusted by Fender FIG. A using speakers of differPole Mount ent impedances. One of TYPICAL "DAISY-CHAIN" the results of mixing SCHEME speaker impedances 115sA/ though, is that any 118sA speakers with lower impedance ratings will have a higher power consumption and output. For example, the power use/output of a 2 speaker will be twice that of a 4 speaker and 4 times that of a 8 speaker. Consider this when positioning speakers linked in a "daisy-chain." XP Series Fender Pole Mount Avoid damage to your equipment by 115sA/ ensuring that the total speaker 118sA impedance load is within the limits set by the amplifier's manufacturer. XP Series Speakers have an impedance of 8. Listed below are the combined impedance loads of the XP Series loudspeaker connected in parallel with speakers of 4, 8 and 16 ratings: · XP Series 8 + any 4 speaker = 2.6 load total · XP Series 8 + any 8 speaker = 4 load total · XP Series 8 + any 16 speaker = 5.3 load total www.f e n d e r . c o m 2 www. m r g e a r h e a d. n e t Acoustics and Cabinet Placement There are several things to consider when placing loudspeaker cabinets. First determine the horizontal XP coverage requirements for the room. When used in a typical auditorium setting, position the speakers as shown in Fig. B. Ensure 70° adequate sound levels reach each seat in the audience by walking through the entire auditorium--listen for any gaps in coverage then reposition speakers as necessary. Recheck sound coverage with a full audience in attendance, if possible. Other considerations include FIG. B bass frequency performance and Stage XP feedback... When a XP speaker is placed near a wall, there will a low-fre70° quency boost of up to 3dB. The Audience drawback is that close proximity to a wall may also cause feedback. To avoid feedback: Increase the distance between speakers and the feedback source whether it is a wall, a microphone, or a guitar. Use cardioid­pattern microphones to help block feedback. Always keep microphones pointed away from speakers. Sound quality is often compromised when a sound system is required to be hidden from sight. Remember that the location of your loudspeaker cabinets will affect sound quality and coverage area more than any other factor. The XP Series horn has a horizontal coverage angle of 70º and a vertical coverage of 35º; bass speakers are nearly omnidirectional. When setting up FIG. C your XP Series XP XP enclosures as a "single unit," aim 70° the cabinets 70° apart as shown in ° r FIG. C, for 140° e o f ov of horizontal covHo C rizontal erage. Speaker Cables Power and audio signal cables are a common sources of sound system failure. Quality cables, carefully maintained, are essential to the reliability of the entire sound system. Long cable connections or cables supplying multiple speaker cabinets must be of a sufficient gauge to transfer all of the available amplifier power to the speakers. As a rule, thicker cables (lower gauge numbers) are more efficient because they absorb less power themselves. Prevent power loss and the degradation of signal quality by using the recommended cable gauges below. Cable that suppplys one cabinet, such as the cable to the last cabinet in a "daisy-chain": · Up to 50-feet requires 18-gauge cable · Up to 100-feet requires 16-gauge cable Cable that suppplys two cabinets, such as the cable from the amp to the first cabinet in a "daisy-chain": · Up to 25-feet requires 18-gauge cable · Up to 50-feet requires 16-gauge cable · Up to 100-feet requires 14-gauge cable www.f e n d e r . c o m 3 www. m r g e a r h e a d. n e t a g e 1 4 0 XP Series Specifications MODEL: 110XP 112XP 115XP PART NUMBER: 071-1100-400 071-1200-400 071-1500-400 MAXIMUM OUTPUT: (at 1 Meter) 117dB Continuous 123dB Peak 118dB Continuous 124dB Peak 120 dB Continuous 126dB Peak CABINET: 5/8" (1.6 cm) Particle Board 5/8" (1.6 cm) Particle Board 5/8" (1.6 cm) Particle Board CONNECTIONS: (2) 1/4" Phone Jacks (2) 1/4" Phone Jacks (2) 1/4" Phone Jacks DRIVER: Low Frequency: 10" (25.4 cm) woofer 2" (5.1 cm) voice coil 12" (30.5 cm) woofer 2" (5.1 cm) voice coil Dual Piezoelectric Compression Drivers 1 1/2" (3.8 cm) diaphragms 15" (38.1 cm) woofer 2.5" (6.4 cm) voice coil Dual Piezoelectric Compression Drivers 1 1/2" (3.8 cm) diaphragms High Frequency: Dual Piezoelectric Compression Drivers 1 1/2" (3.8 cm) diaphragms FREQUENCY RESPONSE: 65 Hz to 20kHz 60 Hz to 20kHz 60 Hz to 20kHz SENSITIVITY: 1W/1m: 97 dB 98 dB 98 dB POWER HANDLING: 100W (RS-426A) 200W (Program) 400W (Peak) 100W (RS-426A) 200W (Program) 400W (Peak) 150W (RS-426A) 300W (Program) 600W (Peak) IMPEDANCE: 8 8 8 DIMENSIONS: Height Width (front) Width (rear) Depth 20.3" (51.6 cm) 14.6" (37.1 cm) 6.4" (16.3 cm) 15.6" (39.6 cm) 21.3" (54.1 cm) 18" (45.7 cm) 6.4" (16.3 cm) 18.4" (46.7 cm) 23.9"(60.7 cm) 21" (53.3 cm) 8.4" (21.3 cm) 19.6" (49.8 cm) WEIGHT: 37 lbs.
