Característiques principals:

• High-quality bass-midrange speaker designed for long excursion.
• Damped, low-resonance polypropylene cone for clear sound.
• Robust die-cast aluminum basket with an attractive design and 6-hole screw connection.
• Magnetic system with a drilled pole core and extended rear plate for optimized performance.
• Versatile for compact bass-reflex, TML, and closed speaker systems.
• Also suitable as a midrange speaker in 3-way speaker systems.

2. Configuració i instal·lació

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of your SPH-5M speaker. Follow these guidelines:

1. Disseny de tancament: The SPH-5M is designed for compact bass-reflex, TML (Transmission Line), and closed speaker enclosures. Ensure your enclosure design is appropriate for the speaker's parameters to achieve desired acoustic results.
2. Muntatge: Secure the speaker firmly into the enclosure using the 6-hole screw connection points on the robust die-cast aluminum basket. Use appropriate screws that do not overtighten or damage the basket.
3. Cablejat: Connect the speaker terminals to your amplifier or crossover network. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) to avoid phase issues that can degrade sound quality. The speaker has an impedance of 8 Ohms.
4. AmpCoincidència de lifier: Utilitzeu un amplifier capable of delivering sufficient power (up to 40 WRMS continuous, 80 WMAX peak) into an 8 Ohm load. Avoid underpowering or overpowering the speaker, as both can lead to damage.

3. Funcionament

To ensure the best performance and extend the life of your Monacor SPH-5M speaker, observe the following operational guidelines:

• Intrusió inicial: Allow a break-in period of several hours of moderate listening before operating the speaker at high volumes. This allows the cone and surround materials to loosen and perform optimally.
• Nivells de volum: Operate the speaker within its specified power handling limits (40 WRMS / 80 WMAX). Avoid prolonged listening at excessively high volumes that cause audible distortion, as this can damage the voice coil.
• Configuració de crossover: If using a crossover, ensure it is correctly configured for the SPH-5M's frequency response characteristics to prevent sending inappropriate frequencies to the driver.

4. Manteniment

The Monacor SPH-5M speaker requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-term performance:

• Neteja: Gently wipe the cone and frame with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
• Condicions ambientals: Keep the speaker in a stable environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
• Inspecció: Periodically inspect the cone, surround, and dust cap for any signs of damage or wear.

5. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your SPH-5M speaker, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Sense so:
  • Comproveu totes les connexions de cablejat des del amplifier to the speaker for secure contact and correct polarity.
  • Comproveu que el ampel lifier està encès i funciona correctament.
  • Ensure the audio source is active and sending a signal.
• So distorsionat:
  • Reduce the volume level; distortion often occurs when the amplifier or speaker is overdriven.
  • Comproveu si hi ha connexions soltes o cables d'altaveu danyats.
  • Inspeccioneu el con de l'altaveu i el so envoltant per detectar qualsevol dany físic.
  • Assegureu-vos el amplifier is not clipping (producing a distorted waveform).
• Weak Bass or Midrange:
  • Confirm correct speaker polarity; reversed polarity can cause bass cancellation.
  • Check crossover settings to ensure appropriate frequencies are being sent to the speaker.
  • Verify the enclosure is sealed properly (for closed designs) or that ports are unobstructed (for bass-reflex designs).

If problems persist after performing these checks, contact a qualified audio technician or Monacor customer support for further assistance.
