70v Operation
B13/B16 speaker can operate in both standard 8Ω mode and 70v mode. The 70v option, which is a constant voltage system, offers ease of installation for
audio system with larger quantities of loudspeakers and minimize the concern for power loss over long distance wire runs. However, there are also
disadvantages to 70v system such as limitations to mono output and degradation of signal, especially in low frequencies, though in general this is not
noticeable. 70v is the preferred choice in large installations, such as commercial projects, for both PA systems and background music systems. If you are
unsure about 70v, please contact TIC or a trusted AV professional for consultation. If you are using B13/B16 with a regular amplifier, please set dial to 8Ω and
connect as normal.
To operate in 70v mode. you must utilize a 70v amplifier. Simply set the dial to any of the wattage settings and connect the speaker to a 70v amplifier that
has power output at least 20% greater than the summation of all speaker's wattage settings within the sound system. The 20% headroom ensures optimal
performance and longevity to both amplifier and speakers. The correct wattage setting will depend on your volume and sound sculpting requirement and the
power output of your amplifier.
