Speakers - SAC 1

_ speakers have inbuilt power amplifiers in them

_ speakers require an amplifier to power the speakers

In a two-way (top box) speaker, the _ produces the lower frequencies

In a two-way (top box) speaker, the _ produces the MID - HIGH frequencies

A _ is used to send specific frequencies (ranges) to different speakers.

Answer explanation

A crossover serves as a filter that blocks out unwanted frequencies to a speaker or group of speakers. It allows us to specifically send each speaker the group of frequencies that it will play most efficiently and effectively.

When wiring passive speaker in _ the resistance is additive.

Answer explanation

Series - When you wire speakers in Series, the speaker’s resistance (as measured in ohms) is additive - i.e. putting two 8 ohm speakers in Series results in a 16-ohm load.

When wiring passive speaker in _ the resistance is decreased.

Answer explanation

Parallel - When wiring in parallel, the resistance of the speakers decreases. i.e. putting two 8 Ohm speakers wired in Parallel results in a 4 Ohm load.

When running into an active speaker from a mixer, the input should be set to MIC or LINE?

Answer explanation

A line-level signal is about 1,000 times as strong as a mic-level signal. This signal travels from your pre-amp to the amplifier that powers your speakers.

On an active speaker, the 'Line Out' is typically sent to a _

Answer explanation

On the back of an active speaker, the 'line out' output (generally an XLR male connection) is used to send a copy of the signal to another speaker. This can be used for linking foldback monitors to send the same signal.

On the back of an active speaker, which cable is typically used for a stereo input from a device?
