2、 250Hz, 1.5kHz, & 7kHz IMPEDANCE 8n Nominal POWER HANDLING: Sine wave steady state SINE WAVE POWER LIMIT IN WATTS FREQUENCY IN Hz Avoid, operating the speaker system with sustained sine wave signals at power levels greater than the indicated limits. Permanent damage may result. POWER HANDLING: Progr
3、am 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 to 300 watts of orchestra
4、l 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 harmonic content of a badly cl
5、ipped 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 8n. SPEAKER LOCATION REMOVE LSI T

Refer to ML-1C Service Bulletin No. 2 when replacing Dome Loudspeaker. In early units C3 is two 12pF capacitors connected in series
7、. In early units R6 was 62fi 5% 5W. In some units C2 may be two 25pF in series. In early units R3 is lOfi. See ML-1C SB No. 1 when replacing 8 loudspeaker. In early units components may be located in different positions on the crossover network board. Numbers that appear on coils are not always indu
8、ctance values. In early units LS4 is 036-005 1 6fi impedance. LS4 can be replaced with 036-012 8fi impedance. Acoustic output will be the same. In some early models dome wires run through the front panel. See ML-lC SB No. 2. CROSSOVER NETWORK ro ro OJ _ CO CO CO CO cn -J .J -I -1 _i _i ASSEMBLY 044-
9、215 NOTE 7 NOTE 9 RED | jt ORN | YEL K CO + 5 m CVJ to to 2 o o SYSTEM SCHEMATIC SERVICE NOTES Speaker element 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 20-20
10、kHz can be used as a quick check for distortion. A speaker element with obvious distortion must be replaced. 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. T
11、he crossover network must be inspected when burned out speaker elements are replaced. The net work must also 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 connec
12、tions, broken wires, etc. Be sure to check the resistors mounted on the plate underneath the printed circuit 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
13、periods of time, the dome mid-range may appear to have weak or no output. In addition to a burned out mid-range, the 7pF capacitor may also be damaged. Thiswill be evident if a new mid-range has been installed and also appears to have weak or no output. Use only McIntosh replacement capacitors. Thes
14、e have been specially selected for low ESR. Use RTV silicone rubber under replacement parts mounted on the 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 o
15、n the speaker. This is the positive terminal. If the polarity of a speaker is unknown, momentarily connect 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
16、 crossover network in the cabinet, care must be taken to insure a tight air seal to the cabinet. Replace the 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 installe
17、d. If a woofer screw strips out in the wood of the cabinet, the speaker can be rotated and new mounting holes drilled. After the system is reassembled, it must be checked for air leaks. This can be done by putting a 20Hz sine wave into the system at 50 watts (20 volts). By listening around the speak
18、ers closely for hissing sounds, areas can be located that must be sealed. The system must also be swept from 20Flz to 250Hz 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
