Here’s a quick look at all the features packed into the TH-15A loudspeakers:
• Flat frequency response (–10 dB, 40 Hz to 20 kHz)
• 1” high-frequency compression driver
• 15” low-frequency woofer
•
Convenient portable design, with integrated
handles in both sides and top
• Ported, bass reflex design for enhanced bass
performance
• 50 watt HF and 150 watt LF power amplifiers
• Low-frequency over-excursion protection
• High-strength lightweight cabinet constructed of
polypropylene
• High-density adiabatic fiberfill absorbs internal
reflections
• Balanced Mic/Line XLR input and thru connectors
• 24 dB/octave crossover at 3 kHz
• Adjustable input level control
• LF equalization provides ±15 dB at 80 Hz and below
• MF equalization provides ±15 dB with
sweepable
frequency from 100 Hz to 8 kHz
• HF equalization provides ±15 dB at 12 kHz and
above
• EQ bypass (DIRECT) switch
• Rear panel power switch
• Pole-mount socket
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the TAPCO TH-15A active loudspeakers. The TAPCO product
line hails back to the days of TAPCO Corporation, Greg Mackie’s first company. TAPCO
revolutionized the audio industry back in 1969 with the very first 6-channel mixer specifically
designed for keyboards and rock ‘n’ roll.
In essence, TAPCO redefined the price/performance ratio and made high-quality
professional audio equipment accessible to virtually anyone. Today, TAPCO is reborn
with the same ideals and is backed by the world-class engineering and manufacturing
horsepower of LOUD Technologies.
These versatile compact loudspeakers can be used in a variety of applications. The
durable, lightweight enclosure is designed with a socket in the bottom for pole-mounting.
In addition, it can be placed on its side as a floor monitor.
The TH-15A active loudspeakers are packed with features and designed to produce
transparent and uncolored sound for PA systems and sound reinforcement. The two-way bass
reflex (ported) design provides an amazingly flat frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz.
There are many benefits to integrating an active crossover, power amplifiers, and drivers
into a single cabinet, and we’ve taken full advantage of these benefits in the design of
the TH-15A.
• The crossover point is designed so that the high and low-frequency drivers are fed only
the frequencies that they are best able to reproduce.
• The amplifiers are designed to provide maximum acoustic output from the speakers, yet
minimize the danger of speaker damage due to overdriving.
• The connecting wire between the amplifier outputs and the drivers are kept to an
absolute minimum so the damping factor of the amplifier isn’t compromised by the
resistance of long speaker cables.
• The acoustic sum of the outputs from the two drivers are optimized electronically, as well
as physically, so the amplitude response is unity and the phase difference is minimal.
In short, all the complex interconnected components in the system are designed to work
in harmony with each other to produce the best possible sound.
