Permanent damage may resu

3、lt. POWER HANDLING: Program Material High energy peaks normal to orchestral music are easily and faithfully reproduced by the speaker system. These peaks are of relatively short duration and do not produce the heating effect caused by sustained tone operation. The ML-4 speaker system will handle up

4、to 300 watts of orchestral music program material. Care must be taken, however, to use a power amplifier that has an adequate power rating If a low power amplifier is used, the loudest passages may be clipped by the amplifier. This clipping will cause the speaker to sound distorted. The large harmon

5、ic content of a badly clipped signal can cause excessive heating and re sulting damage to the high frequency speaker elements and crossover network. OUTPUT LEVEL In a reverberant room the system will nominally produce an 89dB sound pressure level when driven at a one watt level referred to 8ft. SPEA

7、ent failure can be quickly located by using FM hiss at a low power level. Listen at each speaker to verify if all the speakers are at least working. A low power (1-5 watt) sine wave sweep 20-20kHz can be used as a quick check for distortion. A speaker element with obvious distortion must be replaced

8、. To determine if the speaker element is dead, remove the speaker and momentarily connect a 1.5 to 6V battery across the terminals. If no sound is heard, the speaker element must be replaced. The crossover network must be inspected when burned out speaker elements are replaced. The net work must als

9、o be inspected if a speaker element produces sound with the battery test but does not play when connected in the system. The woofer must be removed to get to the crossover. Check for bad connections, broken wires, etc. Be sure to check the resistors mounted on the plate underneath the printed circui

10、t board. A broken lead on these resistors can also be the cause of intermittent or partial failure of the system. When a system has been driven excessively hard by a clipped amplifier for long periods of time, the dome mid-range may appear to have weak or no output. In addition to a burned out mid-r

11、ange, the 7pF capacitor may also be damaged. This will be evident if a new mid-range has been installed and also appears to have weak or no output. Use only McIntosh replacement capacitors. These have been specially selected for low ESR. Use RTV silicone rubber under replacement parts mounted on the

12、 printed circuit board. In addition to the solder connections, this insures a vibration free bond to the board. The solid colored wire (other than black) always goes to the red marked terminal on the speaker. This is the positive terminal. If the polarity of a speaker is unknown, momentarily connect

13、 a 1.5 to 6V battery to the terminals. When the cone moves away from the magnet, it means the + terminal of the battery is connected to the + terminal of the speaker. When installing speakers or crossover network in the cabinet, care must be taken to insure a tight air seal to the cabinet. Replace t

14、he black caulking material or foam gasket if necessary. Mortite caulking compound or equivalent could be substituted but care must be taken that it will not be visible after the part is installed. If a woofer screw strips out in the wood of the cabinet, the speaker can be rotated and new mounting ho

15、les drilled. After the system is reassembled, it must be checked for air leaks. This can be done by putting a 20Flz sine wave into the system at 50 watts (20 volts). By listening around the speakers closely for hissing sounds, areas can be located that must be sealed. The system must also be swept f

16、rom 20Flz to 250Flz at 25 watts (14 volts) to insure there are no vibrations due to wires hitting the woofer cone, etc. All defective parts must be packed well and returned to McIntosh Laboratory Loudspeaker Division.
