4.2 Kabling

The tweeter has a rated impedance of 8 Ohms. Connect the tweeter to an appropriate amplifier output, ensuring that the amplifier can handle an 8-Ohm load. Pay close attention to polarity (+ and -) to ensure correct phase alignment with other speakers in your system. Incorrect polarity can lead to reduced sound quality.

It is recommended to use a high-pass filter to protect the tweeter from low frequencies, which can cause damage. Refer to your amplifier or crossover unit's manual for proper filter settings. The system frequency response for this tweeter is 4000 to 20000 Hz.

5. Bruksanvisning

Once installed and wired correctly, the JBL ST 450 TRIO Super Tweeter is ready for operation.

• Strømhåndtering: The tweeter has an RMS Power of 300W and a Peak Power of 600W. Ensure that the amplifier's output power does not exceed these limits to prevent damage.
• Volumkontroll: Start with a low volume level and gradually increase it to your desired listening level. Avoid operating the system at excessively high volumes for extended periods.
• Lydjustering: Use your audio system's equalizer or tone controls to fine-tune the high-frequency output to your preference. Remember that the tweeter is designed to reproduce high frequencies, so excessive boosting of treble may lead to harsh sound or potential damage.

6. Vedlikehold

The JBL ST 450 TRIO Super Tweeter requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-lasting performance.

• Rengjøring: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the surface of the tweeter. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
• Undersøkelse: Periodically check the wiring connections to ensure they remain secure. Inspect the tweeter for any signs of physical damage.

7. Feilsøking

If you experience issues with your JBL ST 450 TRIO Super Tweeter, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Ingen lyd:
  • Sjekk alle ledningsforbindelser fra amplifier to the tweeter for proper contact and polarity.
  • Sørg for at ampkjøleren er slått på og fungerer som den skal.
  • Verify that the audio source is playing and the volume is turned up.
• Forvrengt lyd:
  • Reduser volumnivået. Forvrengning oppstår ofte når amplifier or tweeter is overdriven.
  • Check for proper high-pass filter settings to prevent low frequencies from reaching the tweeter.
  • Inspect the tweeter for any physical damage to the diaphragm.
• Intermitterende lyd:
  • Check for loose wiring connections at both the tweeter and the amplivligere.
  • Ensure there are no shorts in the wiring.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact customer support or a qualified service technician.
