WORKINGMAN’S TOWER (continued) Tweeter Attenuator Control The large dial found on the input panel of the cabinet is the Tweeter Attenuator Control (see dia- gram, page 4). This control is used to adjust the level of high frequency signal present at the tweet- er. A normal setting for this control is straight up or “twelve o’clock.” Turning the dial fully counter- clockwise removes the tweeter from the circuit. As you turn the dial clockwise from this position, the high frequency content is inc

IMPEDANCE: A GENERAL OVERVIEW The following terms will be helpful in understanding the information in this section: Impedance: The resistance of a device to the flow of alternating current. Often used to rate the resistance of a speaker's voice coil. Ohm: A unit of electrical resistance equal to that of a conductor in which a current of one ampere is produced by a potential of one volt across its terminals. Parallel Operation: The connection of two or more power sources of the same output volt

IMPEDANCE (continued) one 8 ohm enclosure, you know you can add one more 8 ohm speaker safely (8 divided by 2 = 4). Although much less common, you could also add one, or even two, 16 ohm cabinets: two 16 ohm cabinets in parallel have the same total impedance as one 8 ohm speaker. To get the most efficiency out of your system with the fewest cabinets, your best choice would be to connect two 8 ohm enclosures. Since you would be driving two cabinets of equal impedance, each will receive half the p

than one cabinet, check all cable connections in the chain. If you then suspect that the problem may be a bad cable, you can use a 9 volt battery as a cable-tester. To do so, plug one end of the questionable cable into your speaker cabinet, and then touch the phone plug on the other end to the two terminals (+ and –) of the battery, contacting the tip and sleeve. When you connect the bat- tery to the phone plug, a good cable will will pass the voltage to the speakers, which will be indicat- ed
