This means that these cabinets can be linked together with
other cabinets of the same impedance and design or with a

CAUTION: If you are unsure of any of thes procedures, check
with your dealer or an experienced sound engineer.
(1) Ensure you do not overload the amplifier you are using by
linking too many units together and lowering the resistance
(impedance) below the safe operating level of the amplifier.

product should be adhered to.
4. USE WITH AMPLIFIERS - In order to avoid damage, it is advis-
able to establish and follow a pattern for turning on and off any sound
system. With all system parts connected, turn on source equipment,
tape decks, instruments, mixers, signal processors etc., BEFORE
turning on your power amplifier. Many products output turn on and
turn off transients that can damage speakers. By turning on your
power amplifier LAST and making sure the amplifier’s input controls
are at minimum any transients “upstream” of the amplifier are not
amplified and passed to the speaker. Wait until all system parts have
stabilised, then bring up amplifier controls to operating level. This
should take no more than a few seconds. Similarly when shutting
systems down, always turn down amplifier input controls and then
turn off your amplifier BEFORE shutting down other components.
Professional amplifiers often feature delayed turn on/off circuits to
perform these functions for you automatically.

Description
These cabinets are all covered in tough impact resist carpet. They
are designed for portability and are fitted with heavy duty handles
and a ‘kick -proof’ steel protective grille. The SVP-18B and the SVP-
15B have two 1/4” phone type jack sockets and are paralleled at the
rear of each cabinet. (See diagram ).

15B have two 1/4” phone type jack sockets and are paralleled at the
rear of each cabinet. (See diagram ).
A very special feature of these products is that they have built-in
crossovers with high-pass outputs. This means that you may use
one channel of your power amplifier to power both a subwoofer and
a full-range speaker, while maintaining a reason-able load on your
amplifier. The amplifier only sees the subwoofer/crossover load
which is 8 ohms for SVP series subwoofers. Without the built-in
crossover, the combined impedance of full-range and subwoofer
speakers in parallel would be much lower. Also, the high-pass
crossover output removes the very low bass frequencies from the
signal going to the full-range speaker. This prevents distortion (and
possible damage) from excessive low-frequency energy getting into
the full-range speaker.
