Then each volume control gets wired in parallel to the amp. Each terminating in it's own 70v volume control. I presume that I'd have two "loops" of 4-channel conductor (+/- left, +/- right). So, if the limit is only an issue when attenuating, I'll just try to be cognizant of the total output level when either/both control is not full-on/off.Ĭ) If I "pop" the volume control, what damage can be done? Do I have to worry about blowing the amp, too? Not sure how these things fail if they fail.
SONANCE LS4T FULL
Thus, if I keep my pre-amp levels down, the speakers won't be getting full power, the volume won't be overloading, and no issue either. Otherwise, I'll need to splice the in/out wiring together and remove the volume (which will determine where I place it so it'll leave no "scars" if it has to go away).ī) Also, I presume the limit is really only there when the amp is providing a lot of output.
SONANCE LS4T INSTALL
The reason I ask is that if I install my controls outside and they are a limitation, I can just turn them full on later and control via two pre-amps / amps. Unless the 150W (or 300W) sub tap (or 40W sat tab) is an option, the volume doesn't seem to be a limit.Ī) When in off or full mode is the volume out of the way? In other words, is its wattage limit really only when attenuating due to heat dissipation of the attenuation circuitry? Or even in full-on / off mode could it be burned up. But, from the speaker specs (if I'm reading them right), there's only a single 70v tap and using it for sats/sub is easily under this limit.Īs I said, I'm setting up two stereo "zones": zone (a) has 2 sats per channel (and a single sub on one channel) zone (b) has 4 sats and 1 sub per channel. The best stereo controls he can find ( here) are rated 150W per channel (anyone know any better?).
The installer is worried that if I use 70v volume controls I'll be limiting myself. Is 5W at 70v substantial? Is 38W 70v enough for a sub? 750W / channel is a lot if the sub/sats are only 5W/38W each! for sat 40W, 20W, 10W)? 100v? The Sonance DSP 2-750 amp the installer spec'd is rated for 70v - so what the heck are those taps if their amp isn't 100v? It's listed as 750W / channel 70v, no 100v rating. The Sonance speaker / subs list specs (as linked above) as follows:Ĭlick to expand.Am I reading it right, there is only a single 70v tap and it's 5W for sat and 38W for sub? What are the other non-8ohm settings (e.g. So - with that said, here are my questions: Thus, I need to be able to independently dim the systems when both are used. So, I'd rather it be augmenting the smaller fire-pit/play-area zone at a respectable level and let the (smaller) fire-pit zone do the rest. However, if I am forced to use the pool-zone for playtime I think it could get obnoxiously loud for people in the pool or trying to converse in that area just so people playing can hear it loudly. It's pretty much that 3rd use-case that is complicating matters, because otherwise I'd just have a straight a/b switch and be done with it. However, when that zone is for "play-time" it may get a bit louder, but during those times the pool system can probably cover it, too.ģ) Play time (either pool-only but louder or if people are in the pool then I can lower the pool level so it's not annoying and augment play-zone with the fire-pit zone). I figure the fire-pit area will usually be used at lower volumes for intimate night-time fires. I figure both zones will rarely be active at the same time because the system for the pool is bigger than the fire-pit. I'm doing two zones (a) is for a pool area, (b) is for a fire-pit / play-area. Here's a quick overview of the project before I ask anything. My installer has given me one, I just want another. I think there are a few 70v experts around here, so hopefully someone can give me another viewpoint. I'm working with a company, but I just want to make sure I'm well informed and have some questions I'd like to ask. I'm looking to install a 70v Sonance landscape system.
