21. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent
hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to
noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some
hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a period of
time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level
exposures shown in the following chart.
	 According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these
permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. To ensure
against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound
pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to
equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels
use hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation.
Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must
be worn when operating the equipment in order to prevent
permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set
forth here:
WARNING — To reduce the risk of fire
or electric shock, do not expose this
appliance to rain or moisture.

Getting Started
The following steps will help
you set up your loudspeakers
quickly.
INITIAL SETTINGS:
1.	Turn the LEVEL control on the rear panel
all the way down.
2.	Set the DIRECT/EQ switch out (DIRECT).
3.	Turn the POWER switch OFF.
CONNECTIONS:
1. 	Connect the line-level signal from your
mixer (or other signal source) to the
IN jack on the TH-15A rear panel (XLR
connector).
2.	Connect the supplied AC power cord
to the IEC socket on the back of the
loudspeaker. Plug the other end into an
AC outlet properly configured with the
correct voltage as indicated just below
the IEC socket.
TURN IT ON:
1. 	Turn the POWER switch ON.
2.	Start your signal source (tape deck, CD,
DAW, or whatever), but leave the master
level control on your mixer down.
3.	Slowly turn up the LEVEL control on the
TH-15A to the “U” (unity gain) mark at the
center position.
4.	Adjust the master volume on your mixer
to a comfortably loud listening level. If
the volume from the speakers gets really
loud, really fast, try turning down the
LEVEL control on the TH-15As a bit. If the
speakers don’t get loud enough, turn
up the LEVEL control to achieve a good
balance of master volume control and
loudness from the speaker.
Now that you have your loudspeakers
working, it’s time to hunker down and read
the rest of this manual…especially the
following:
ADDITIONAL TIDBITS OF WIDSDOM:
•	 Never listen to loud music for prolonged
periods. Please see the Safety Instructions
on page 2 for information on hearing
protection.
• 	When you shut down your equipment,
turn off the TH-15A loudspeakers first
to prevent thumps and other noises
generated by any upstream equipment
from coming out the speakers. When
powering up, turn on the TH-15As last.
• 	Save the shipping boxes and packing
materials! You may need them someday.
Besides, your cat will love playing in them
and jumping out at you unexpectedly.
Remember to pretend like you are
surprised!
• 	Save your sales receipt in a safe place.
• 	Record the serial number in the space
provided on page 3, along with where
and when you bought it.

Introduction
Thank you for choosing the TAPCO TH-15A active loudspeakers. The TAPCO product
line hails back to the days of TAPCO Corporation, Greg Mackie’s first company. TAPCO
revolutionized the audio industry back in 1969 with the very first 6-channel mixer specifically
designed for keyboards and rock ‘n’ roll. In essence, TAPCO redefined the price/
performance ratio and made high-quality professional audio equipment accessible to
virtually anyone. Today, TAPCO shares the same ideals, and is backed by the world-class
engineering and manufacturing horsepower of LOUD Technologies.
The TH-15A active loudspeakers are packed with features and designed to produce
transparent and uncolored sound for PA systems and sound reinforcement. The two-way
bass reflex (ported) design provides an amazingly flat frequency response from 40 Hz to
20 kHz. These versatile compact loudspeakers can be used in a variety of applications,
and when combined with the TAPCO TH-18s active subwoofers, they form an amazing
system. The durable, lightweight enclosure is designed with a socket in the bottom for pole-
mounting on a stand or with the TAPCO TH-18s. In addition, the TH-15A loudspeakers can be
placed on their side for use as floor monitors.
There are many benefits to integrating an active crossover, power amplifiers, and drivers
into a single cabinet, and we’ve taken full advantage of these benefits in the design of the
TH-15A.
•	 The crossover point is designed so that the high and low-frequency drivers are fed only
the frequencies that they are best able to reproduce.
• 	The amplifiers are designed to provide maximum acoustic output from the speakers, yet
minimize the danger of speaker damage due to overdriving.
• 	The length of the connecting wires between the amplifier outputs and the drivers are
kept to an absolute minimum so the damping factor of the amplifier isn’t compromised
by the resistance of long speaker cables.
• 	The acoustic sum of the outputs from the two drivers are optimized electronically, as well
as physically, so the amplitude response is unity and the phase difference is minimal.
In short, all the complex interconnected components in the system are designed to work
in harmony with each other to produce the best possible sound.

The left and right line-level outputs from a mixer feed the inputs of two TAPCO TH-18s subwoofers. The full-range
line-level outputs of the subwoofers feed the inputs of the TH-15A loudspeakers, so these play the full range in
stereo, and the subs provide bass reinforcement.
Alternatively, you can use the high-pass line-level outputs of the subwoofers to feed the loudspeakers, then the
subs will handle all the lows, while the TH-15A loudspeakers handle the mids and highs.

Using one TH-18s active subwoofer
The left and right line-level outputs from a mixer feed the inputs of a TH-18s active subwoofer. The full-range line-
level outputs of the subwoofer feed the inputs of the TH-15A loudspeakers, so these play the full range in stereo,
and the sub provides bass reinforcement.
TAPCO TH-15A Features
REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION
• 	The TH-15A is designed to operate with a
+4 dBu signal when the LEVEL control is at
the U (center) position.
• 	The TH-15A can accept up to a +20 dBu
signal by turning down the INPUT LEVEL
control accordingly.
• 	NEVER connect the output of an amplifier
directly to the input of the TH-15A. This
could damage the active input circuitry
of the loudspeaker.
4. OL Indicator
The OL (overload) indicator lights when
the amplifiers in the TH-15A are near the
clipping point. It is okay if the OL indicator
blinks occasionally, because this means that
the transient peaks are just reaching the
maximum output of the amplifiers and you
are getting the most from your TH-15As.
If the OL indicator is blinking frequently or
lighting continuously, turn down the LEVEL
control [3] on the TH15A or turn down the
signal at it source (e.g., the mixing console)
until the OL indicator blinks occasionally or
not at all.

This is where you connect your signal to
the loudspeaker and make adjustments to
the frequency response of the speaker to
match the loudspeaker’s location and your
room’s environment.
1. INPUT
This is a female XLR-type connector that
accepts a balanced mic or line-level signal
from a mixing console or other signal source.
2. OUTPUT
This is a male XLR-type connector that
produces exactly the same signal that is
connected to the input jack. Use it to daisy-
chain several TH-15A’s together off the
same signal source.
3. LEVEL
The LEVEL control adjusts the overall
signal level at the input to the built-in power
amplifiers. It ranges from Off ( ) to MAX
(maximum gain), with unity gain at the
center position (12 o’clock).
5. HIGH EQ
This control gives you up to 15 dB boost
or cut above 12 kHz, and it is also flat
at the center position (U). Use it to add
sizzle to cymbals, and an overall sense of
transparency or edge to the keyboards,
vocals, guitar, and bacon frying. Turn it
down a little to reduce sibilance, or to hide
tape hiss.
6. MID EQ
This is a midrange EQ control that
provides 15 dB of boost or cut centered at
any frequency between 100 Hz and 8 kHz.
The MID EQ circuit is flat (no boost or cut)
at the center position. This frequency range
includes most vocals (male at the lower end
of the range and female at the upper end
of the range), and the fundamentals and
harmonics for many instruments.
7. MID FREQ
This knob ranges from 100 Hz
to 8 kHz and determines the center
frequency for the MID EQ filter. This allows
you to zero in on the precise narrow band of
frequencies you want to have affected by
the MID EQ.
8. LOW EQ
This control gives you up to
15 dB of boost or cut below 80 Hz.
The circuit is flat (no boost or cut) at the
center position. This frequency range
represents the punch in bass drums, bass
guitar, fat synth patches, and some really
serious male singers.
9. DIRECT/EQ Switch
This switch allows you to bypass the EQ
section. When the switch is out (DIRECT), the
EQ section is bypassed and the EQ knobs
have no effect on the signal. When the
switch is pushed in (EQ), the EQ controls can
be used to tailor the frequency response of
the TH-15As.
10. POWER Switch
Use this switch to turn the active
loudspeakers on and off. The indicating
LED above the POWER switch lights when
the POWER switch is on and AC power is
available at the linecord socket. A second
power indicator is located on the front of
the cabinet.
11. Line Cord Socket and Fuse
Connect the detachable line cord to
this IEC socket securely, and plug the other
end into your AC outlet. Make sure the
AC power is matched to the AC power
indicated on the rear panel (under the IEC
socket).
The fuse is located behind the fuse cover,
at the bottom of the IEC socket. See the
“Troubleshooting” section on page 9 for
information about replacing the fuse.
10
Protection Circuits
There are several protection mechanisms
designed into the TH-15A to safeguard
the loudspeakers and amplifiers from
inadvertent damage.
CAUTION: The protection
circuits are designed to
protect the loudspeakers
under reasonable and sensible
conditions. Should you choose
to ignore the warning signs
(i.e., frequent OL LED indications, excessive
distortion), you can still damage the speakers
in the TH-15A by overdriving them past the
point of amplifier clipping. Such damage is
beyond the scope of the warranty.
Overexcursion Protection
A 12 dB/octave high-pass filter at 40 Hz
just prior to the low-frequency amplifier
prevents very low frequencies from being
amplified. Excessive low-frequency energy
below 40 Hz can damage the woofer by
causing it to “bottom out,” also known as
overexcursion, which is equivalent to a
mechanical form of clipping.
Thermal Protection
All amplifiers produce heat. The TH-15A
is designed to be efficient both electrically
and thermally.
The amplifier module is mounted on
a large heatsink, which is cooled by
convection where cool air is drawn through
it’s fins, carrying the heat away. In order for
this convection cooling to work efficiently, it
is important to provide adequate airspace
behind the loudspeaker. When you position
the TH-15A, we recommend leaving at least
six inches of air space behind it.
• 	If for some reason the heatsink gets too
hot, a built-in thermal switch activates
and turns off the amplifier. This protection
operates independently for the low-
frequency and high-frequency amplifiers.
Therefore, it is possible for only the low
frequency or high frequency amplifier to
shut down while the other remains on.
• 	When the heatsink cools down to a safe
temperature, the thermal switch resets
and normal operation resumes.
• 	If the heatsink temperature again gets
too hot, the shutdown process repeats.
Should this happen, make sure that
airflow to the rear of the cabinet is not
restricted. If the ambient air temperature
is very warm, try pointing a small fan
toward the heatsink to increase the
airflow through the fins.
Driver Protection
Each driver has its own compression
circuit, which helps protect them from
damaging transient peaks. The compressors
are designed to be transparent and are
not noticeable under normal operating
conditions.
Input Signal Wiring
You should use high-quality, shielded
cable to connect the signal source to the IN
jack on the TH-15A.
•	 Foil shielded cables, such as Belden 8451,
8761, or 9501 are commonly used for
studio wiring.
•	 Microphone cables work well.
•	 The better the shield, the better the
immunity from externally induced noise
(like EMI and RFI). Route the cable away
from AC power cords and outlets. These
are common sources for hum in an audio
signal. You can purchase quality cables
from your Mackie dealer.
Placement
The TH-15A loudspeaker is designed to sit
on the floor or stage. It can be pole-mounted
via the built-in socket on the bottom of
the cabinet. Be sure the pole is capable of
supporting the weight of the TH-15A.
WARNING: The cabinet has
no rigging points and is not
suitable for rigging.
NEVER attempt to suspend
the TH-15A by its handles.
As with any powered components, protect
them from moisture. If you are setting them
up outdoors, make sure they are under
cover if you expect rain.

Appendix A: Service Information
If you think your TAPCO product has a
problem, please check out the following
troubleshooting tips and do your best to
confirm the problem. Visit the “Talk To Us”
section of our website (www.tapcoworld.
com) to contact our technical support
heroes and get some ideas. You may find
the answer to the problem without having
to send your TAPCO product away.
Troubleshooting
No Power
•	 Our favorite question: Is it plugged in?
•	 Make sure the line cord is securely seated
in the line cord socket and plugged all
the way into the AC outlet.
•	 Make sure the AC outlet is live (check
with a tester or lamp).
•	 Is the POWER switch in the ON position?
•	 Are the power LEDs on the front and rear
panel illuminated? If not, make sure the
AC outlet is live. If so, refer to “No Sound”
below.
•	 If the power LEDs are not illuminated, and
you are certain that the AC outlet is live,
it is possible the fuse has blown.
To remove and replace the fuse:
1. Disconnect the power cord from the
IEC socket.
2. Remove the fuse drawer by prying it
open with a small screwdriver. It will slide
all the way out.
	 3. Remove the fuse and replace it with
an equivalent-type fuse.
115 VAC unit: 6 amp slo-blo (T6AL/250 V)
230 VAC unit: 3.15 amp slo-blo (T3.15AL/250 V)
4. Replace the fuse drawer by pushing it
all the way back into the IEC socket.
	 If two fuses blow in a row, then something
is very wrong. See the “Repair” section on
the next page to find out what to do.
No Sound
•	 Are the power LEDs on the front and rear
panel illuminated?
•	 Is the LEVEL control turned up?
•	 Is the signal source turned up? Make sure
the signal level from the mixing console
(or whatever device immediately
precedes the loudspeaker) is high
enough to produce sound.
•	 If it’s a stereo pair, try switching them
around. For example, if a left speaker is
presumed dead, switch the left and right
cords at the speakers. If the problem
switches sides, it’s not the TH-15A. It could
be a bad cable, or no signal from the
mixer.
Bad Sound
•	 Is the input connector plugged
completely into the IN jack?
•	 Is something connected to the OUT jack?
Try unplugging it. If the sound improves,
whatever was plugged into the OUT jack
may have affected the signal.
•	 Is it loud and distorted? Reduce the signal
level at the mixer.
•	 If possible, listen to the signal source with
headphones plugged into the preamp
stage. If it sounds bad there, it’s not the
loudspeaker.
•	 Too much bass or not enough bass?
Move around the room and see if the
bass response changes. It’s possible your
listening position coincides with a room
mode where the low frequencies either
become exaggerated or nulled. If so, try
moving the loudspeakers to a different
position, or moving your listening position.

Lonely? Looking for that special someone?
Do you have a question about your TAPCO loudspeaker?
Please call our Technical Support chaps at 1-877-827-2669, Monday to Friday, from 7 AM to 5 PM PST.
After hours, visit www.tapcoworld.com and look under Talk To Us, or e-mail us at techmail@tapcogear.com
Noise/Hum
•	 Check the signal cable between the
mixer and the loudspeaker. Make sure all
connections are secure. These problems
usually produce crackling noises or hum.
•	 If you are using two or more TH-15A
active loudspeakers, try plugging them all
into the same AC outlet panel or outlet
strip. The purpose for this is to connect
them all to the same earth ground point
and reduce the possibility of creating a
ground loop.
•	 If connecting an unbalanced output
to the TH-15A balanced input, make
sure the shield is connected to the
unbalanced ground and to pin 1 of the
XLR.

your TAPCO product’s serial number ready. You must
have a Service Request Number before you can obtain
factory-authorized service.
• 	 Pack the product in its original shipping carton. Also include
a note explaining exactly how to duplicate the problem, a
copy of the sales receipt with price and date showing, your
daytime phone number and return street address (no P.O.
boxes or route numbers, please!), and the Service Request
Number. If we cannot duplicate the problem or establish
the starting date of your Limited Warranty, we may, at our
option, charge for service time and parts.
• 	 Ship the product in its original shipping carton, freight
prepaid to the authorized service center. Write the Service
Request Number in BIG PRINT on top of the box. The
address of your closest authorized service center will be
given to you by Technical Support, or it may be obtained
from our website. Once it’s repaired, the authorized service
center will ship it back by ground shipping, pre-paid (if it
qualified as a warranty repair).
	 Note: Under the terms of the warranty, you must ship or
drop-off the unit to an authorized service center. The return
ground shipment is covered for those units deemed by us to
be under warranty.
	 Note: You must have a sales receipt from an authorized
TAPCO dealer for your unit to be considered for warranty
repair.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the Service Request
Number is plainly written on the shipping carton.
No receipt, no warranty service.
E. 	 LOUD Technologies reserves the right to inspect any
products that may be the subject of any warranty
claims before repair or replacement is carried out. LOUD
Technologies may, at our option, require proof of the original
date of purchase in the form of a dated copy of the original
dealer’s invoice or sales receipt. Final determination of
warranty coverage lies solely with LOUD Technologies.
F. 	 Any products returned to one of the LOUD Technologies
factory-authorized service centers, and deemed eligible
for repair or replacement under the terms of this warranty
will be repaired or replaced. LOUD Technologies and its
authorized service centers may use refurbished parts for
repair or replacement of any product. Products returned
to LOUD Technologies that do not meet the terms of this
Warranty will not be repaired unless payment is received
for labor, materials, return freight, and insurance. Products
repaired under warranty will be returned freight prepaid by
LOUD Technologies to any location within the boundaries of
the USA or Canada.
G. 	 LOUD Technologies warrants all repairs performed for
90 days or for the remainder of the warranty period. This
warranty does not extend to damage resulting from
improper installation, misuse, neglect or abuse, or to
exterior appearance. This warranty is recognized only if the
inspection seals and serial number on the unit have not
been defaced or removed.
H. 	 LOUD Technologies assumes no responsibility for the
timeliness of repairs performed by an authorized service
center.
I. 	 This warranty is extended to the original purchaser.
This warranty may be transferred to anyone who may
subsequently purchase this product within the applicable
warranty period for a nominal fee (extended warranties
are not transferable). A copy of the original sales receipt is
required to obtain warranty repairs or replacement.
J. 	 This is your sole warranty. LOUD Technologies does not
authorize any third party, including any dealer or sales
representative, to assume any liability on behalf of
LOUD Technologies or to make any warranty for LOUD
Technologies Inc.
K. 	 THE WARRANTY GIVEN ON THIS PAGE IS THE SOLE WARRANTY
GIVEN BY LOUD TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL
OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING
THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE WARRANTY GIVEN ON THIS PAGE
SHALL BE STRICTLY LIMITED IN DURATION TO ONE YEAR FROM
THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE FROM AN AUTHORIZED
TAPCO DEALER. UPON EXPIRATION OF THE APPLICABLE
WARRANTY PERIOD, LOUD TECHNOLOGIES INC. SHALL
HAVE NO FURTHER WARRANTY OBLIGATION OF ANY KIND.
LOUD TECHNOLOGIES INC. SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT
MAY RESULT FROM ANY DEFECT IN THE TAPCO PRODUCT OR
ANY WARRANTY CLAIM. Some states do not allow exclusion
or limitation of incidental, special, or consequential
damages or a limitation on how long warranties last, so
some of the above limitations and exclusions may not apply
to you. This warranty provides specific legal rights and you
may have other rights, which vary from state to state.
Please keep your sales receipt in a safe place.

  • 3. Part No. SW0621 Rev. E 08/08 ©2006-2008 LOUD Technologies Inc. All Rights Reserved. What me, read a manual? Before you begin, please make sure you read the Safety Instructions on page 2 and Getting Started on page 4. Your new TAPCO® TH-15A active loudspeakers are designed to set up quickly and operate easily. We know it’s often seen as a sign of weakness to read a manual, along with asking for directions when lost, but we hope you will read the rest of the manual, at least while nobody is looking. It is important to keep your receipt in a safe place, and not a bad idea to write your product information here for future reference (i.e., insurance claims, tech support, return authorization, etc.). Product Serial #: Purchased at: Date of purchase: Don’t forget to visit our website at www.tapcoworld.com for more information about this and other TAPCO products.

  • 4. Getting Started The following steps will help you set up your loudspeakers quickly. INITIAL SETTINGS: 1. Turn the LEVEL control on the rear panel all the way down. 2. Set the DIRECT/EQ switch out (DIRECT). 3. Turn the POWER switch OFF. CONNECTIONS: 1. Connect the line-level signal from your mixer (or other signal source) to the IN jack on the TH-15A rear panel (XLR connector). 2. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the IEC socket on the back of the loudspeaker. Plug the other end into an AC outlet properly configured with the correct voltage as indicated just below the IEC socket. TURN IT ON: 1. Turn the POWER switch ON. 2. Start your signal source (tape deck, CD, DAW, or whatever), but leave the master level control on your mixer down. 3. Slowly turn up the LEVEL control on the TH-15A to the “U” (unity gain) mark at the center position. 4. Adjust the master volume on your mixer to a comfortably loud listening level. If the volume from the speakers gets really loud, really fast, try turning down the LEVEL control on the TH-15As a bit. If the speakers don’t get loud enough, turn up the LEVEL control to achieve a good balance of master volume control and loudness from the speaker. Now that you have your loudspeakers working, it’s time to hunker down and read the rest of this manual…especially the following: ADDITIONAL TIDBITS OF WIDSDOM: • Never listen to loud music for prolonged periods. Please see the Safety Instructions on page 2 for information on hearing protection. • When you shut down your equipment, turn off the TH-15A loudspeakers first to prevent thumps and other noises generated by any upstream equipment from coming out the speakers. When powering up, turn on the TH-15As last. • Save the shipping boxes and packing materials! You may need them someday. Besides, your cat will love playing in them and jumping out at you unexpectedly. Remember to pretend like you are surprised! • Save your sales receipt in a safe place. • Record the serial number in the space provided on page 3, along with where and when you bought it.
  • 5. Here’s a quick look at all the features packed into the TH-15A loudspeakers: • Flat frequency response (–10 dB, 40 Hz to 20 kHz) • 1” high-frequency compression driver • 15” low-frequency woofer • Convenient portable design, with integrated handles in both sides and top • Ported, bass reflex design for enhanced bass performance • 99 watt HF and 298 watt LF power amplifiers (peak) • Low-frequency over-excursion protection • High-strength lightweight cabinet constructed of polypropylene • High-density adiabatic fiberfill absorbs internal reflections • Balanced Mic/Line XLR input and thru connectors • 24 dB/octave crossover at 3 kHz • Adjustable input level control • LF equalization provides ±15 dB at 80 Hz and below • MF equalization provides ±15 dB with sweepable frequency from 100 Hz to 8 kHz • HF equalization provides ±15 dB at 12 kHz and above • EQ bypass (DIRECT) switch • Rear panel power switch • Pole-mount socket Introduction Thank you for choosing the TAPCO TH-15A active loudspeakers. The TAPCO product line hails back to the days of TAPCO Corporation, Greg Mackie’s first company. TAPCO revolutionized the audio industry back in 1969 with the very first 6-channel mixer specifically designed for keyboards and rock ‘n’ roll. In essence, TAPCO redefined the price/ performance ratio and made high-quality professional audio equipment accessible to virtually anyone. Today, TAPCO shares the same ideals, and is backed by the world-class engineering and manufacturing horsepower of LOUD Technologies. The TH-15A active loudspeakers are packed with features and designed to produce transparent and uncolored sound for PA systems and sound reinforcement. The two-way bass reflex (ported) design provides an amazingly flat frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz. These versatile compact loudspeakers can be used in a variety of applications, and when combined with the TAPCO TH-18s active subwoofers, they form an amazing system. The durable, lightweight enclosure is designed with a socket in the bottom for pole- mounting on a stand or with the TAPCO TH-18s. In addition, the TH-15A loudspeakers can be placed on their side for use as floor monitors. There are many benefits to integrating an active crossover, power amplifiers, and drivers into a single cabinet, and we’ve taken full advantage of these benefits in the design of the TH-15A. • The crossover point is designed so that the high and low-frequency drivers are fed only the frequencies that they are best able to reproduce. • The amplifiers are designed to provide maximum acoustic output from the speakers, yet minimize the danger of speaker damage due to overdriving. • The length of the connecting wires between the amplifier outputs and the drivers are kept to an absolute minimum so the damping factor of the amplifier isn’t compromised by the resistance of long speaker cables. • The acoustic sum of the outputs from the two drivers are optimized electronically, as well as physically, so the amplitude response is unity and the phase difference is minimal. In short, all the complex interconnected components in the system are designed to work in harmony with each other to produce the best possible sound.

  • 8. TAPCO TH-15A Features REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION • The TH-15A is designed to operate with a +4 dBu signal when the LEVEL control is at the U (center) position. • The TH-15A can accept up to a +20 dBu signal by turning down the INPUT LEVEL control accordingly. • NEVER connect the output of an amplifier directly to the input of the TH-15A. This could damage the active input circuitry of the loudspeaker. 4. OL Indicator The OL (overload) indicator lights when the amplifiers in the TH-15A are near the clipping point. It is okay if the OL indicator blinks occasionally, because this means that the transient peaks are just reaching the maximum output of the amplifiers and you are getting the most from your TH-15As. If the OL indicator is blinking frequently or lighting continuously, turn down the LEVEL control [3] on the TH15A or turn down the signal at it source (e.g., the mixing console) until the OL indicator blinks occasionally or not at all. U POWER OL LEVEL MID FREQ 8k 100 +15 -15 U +15 -15 U HIGH 12kHz LOW 80Hz +15 -15 U MID DIRECT EQ OUT EQ IN TH-15A ACTIVE SOUND REINFORCEMENT LOUDSPEAKER MAX O 1 2 6 7 8 9 10 11 3 4 5 This is where you connect your signal to the loudspeaker and make adjustments to the frequency response of the speaker to match the loudspeaker’s location and your room’s environment. 1. INPUT This is a female XLR-type connector that accepts a balanced mic or line-level signal from a mixing console or other signal source. 2. OUTPUT This is a male XLR-type connector that produces exactly the same signal that is connected to the input jack. Use it to daisy- chain several TH-15A’s together off the same signal source. 3. LEVEL The LEVEL control adjusts the overall signal level at the input to the built-in power amplifiers. It ranges from Off ( ) to MAX (maximum gain), with unity gain at the center position (12 o’clock).
  • 9. 5. HIGH EQ This control gives you up to 15 dB boost or cut above 12 kHz, and it is also flat at the center position (U). Use it to add sizzle to cymbals, and an overall sense of transparency or edge to the keyboards, vocals, guitar, and bacon frying. Turn it down a little to reduce sibilance, or to hide tape hiss. 6. MID EQ This is a midrange EQ control that provides 15 dB of boost or cut centered at any frequency between 100 Hz and 8 kHz. The MID EQ circuit is flat (no boost or cut) at the center position. This frequency range includes most vocals (male at the lower end of the range and female at the upper end of the range), and the fundamentals and harmonics for many instruments. 7. MID FREQ This knob ranges from 100 Hz to 8 kHz and determines the center frequency for the MID EQ filter. This allows you to zero in on the precise narrow band of frequencies you want to have affected by the MID EQ. 8. LOW EQ This control gives you up to 15 dB of boost or cut below 80 Hz. The circuit is flat (no boost or cut) at the center position. This frequency range represents the punch in bass drums, bass guitar, fat synth patches, and some really serious male singers. 9. DIRECT/EQ Switch This switch allows you to bypass the EQ section. When the switch is out (DIRECT), the EQ section is bypassed and the EQ knobs have no effect on the signal. When the switch is pushed in (EQ), the EQ controls can be used to tailor the frequency response of the TH-15As. 10. POWER Switch Use this switch to turn the active loudspeakers on and off. The indicating LED above the POWER switch lights when the POWER switch is on and AC power is available at the linecord socket. A second power indicator is located on the front of the cabinet. 11. Line Cord Socket and Fuse Connect the detachable line cord to this IEC socket securely, and plug the other end into your AC outlet. Make sure the AC power is matched to the AC power indicated on the rear panel (under the IEC socket). The fuse is located behind the fuse cover, at the bottom of the IEC socket. See the “Troubleshooting” section on page 9 for information about replacing the fuse.
  • 10. 10 Protection Circuits There are several protection mechanisms designed into the TH-15A to safeguard the loudspeakers and amplifiers from inadvertent damage. CAUTION: The protection circuits are designed to protect the loudspeakers under reasonable and sensible conditions. Should you choose to ignore the warning signs (i.e., frequent OL LED indications, excessive distortion), you can still damage the speakers in the TH-15A by overdriving them past the point of amplifier clipping. Such damage is beyond the scope of the warranty. Overexcursion Protection A 12 dB/octave high-pass filter at 40 Hz just prior to the low-frequency amplifier prevents very low frequencies from being amplified. Excessive low-frequency energy below 40 Hz can damage the woofer by causing it to “bottom out,” also known as overexcursion, which is equivalent to a mechanical form of clipping. Thermal Protection All amplifiers produce heat. The TH-15A is designed to be efficient both electrically and thermally. The amplifier module is mounted on a large heatsink, which is cooled by convection where cool air is drawn through it’s fins, carrying the heat away. In order for this convection cooling to work efficiently, it is important to provide adequate airspace behind the loudspeaker. When you position the TH-15A, we recommend leaving at least six inches of air space behind it. • If for some reason the heatsink gets too hot, a built-in thermal switch activates and turns off the amplifier. This protection operates independently for the low- frequency and high-frequency amplifiers. Therefore, it is possible for only the low frequency or high frequency amplifier to shut down while the other remains on. • When the heatsink cools down to a safe temperature, the thermal switch resets and normal operation resumes. • If the heatsink temperature again gets too hot, the shutdown process repeats. Should this happen, make sure that airflow to the rear of the cabinet is not restricted. If the ambient air temperature is very warm, try pointing a small fan toward the heatsink to increase the airflow through the fins. Driver Protection Each driver has its own compression circuit, which helps protect them from damaging transient peaks. The compressors are designed to be transparent and are not noticeable under normal operating conditions. Input Signal Wiring You should use high-quality, shielded cable to connect the signal source to the IN jack on the TH-15A. • Foil shielded cables, such as Belden 8451, 8761, or 9501 are commonly used for studio wiring. • Microphone cables work well. • The better the shield, the better the immunity from externally induced noise (like EMI and RFI). Route the cable away from AC power cords and outlets. These are common sources for hum in an audio signal. You can purchase quality cables from your Mackie dealer. Placement The TH-15A loudspeaker is designed to sit on the floor or stage. It can be pole-mounted via the built-in socket on the bottom of the cabinet. Be sure the pole is capable of supporting the weight of the TH-15A. WARNING: The cabinet has no rigging points and is not suitable for rigging. NEVER attempt to suspend the TH-15A by its handles. As with any powered components, protect them from moisture. If you are setting them up outdoors, make sure they are under cover if you expect rain.
  • 11. 11 Appendix A: Service Information If you think your TAPCO product has a problem, please check out the following troubleshooting tips and do your best to confirm the problem. Visit the “Talk To Us” section of our website (www.tapcoworld. com) to contact our technical support heroes and get some ideas. You may find the answer to the problem without having to send your TAPCO product away. Troubleshooting No Power • Our favorite question: Is it plugged in? • Make sure the line cord is securely seated in the line cord socket and plugged all the way into the AC outlet. • Make sure the AC outlet is live (check with a tester or lamp). • Is the POWER switch in the ON position? • Are the power LEDs on the front and rear panel illuminated? If not, make sure the AC outlet is live. If so, refer to “No Sound” below. • If the power LEDs are not illuminated, and you are certain that the AC outlet is live, it is possible the fuse has blown. To remove and replace the fuse: 1. Disconnect the power cord from the IEC socket. 2. Remove the fuse drawer by prying it open with a small screwdriver. It will slide all the way out. 3. Remove the fuse and replace it with an equivalent-type fuse. 115 VAC unit: 6 amp slo-blo (T6AL/250 V) 230 VAC unit: 3.15 amp slo-blo (T3.15AL/250 V) 4. Replace the fuse drawer by pushing it all the way back into the IEC socket. If two fuses blow in a row, then something is very wrong. See the “Repair” section on the next page to find out what to do. No Sound • Are the power LEDs on the front and rear panel illuminated? • Is the LEVEL control turned up? • Is the signal source turned up? Make sure the signal level from the mixing console (or whatever device immediately precedes the loudspeaker) is high enough to produce sound. • If it’s a stereo pair, try switching them around. For example, if a left speaker is presumed dead, switch the left and right cords at the speakers. If the problem switches sides, it’s not the TH-15A. It could be a bad cable, or no signal from the mixer. Bad Sound • Is the input connector plugged completely into the IN jack? • Is something connected to the OUT jack? Try unplugging it. If the sound improves, whatever was plugged into the OUT jack may have affected the signal. • Is it loud and distorted? Reduce the signal level at the mixer. • If possible, listen to the signal source with headphones plugged into the preamp stage. If it sounds bad there, it’s not the loudspeaker. • Too much bass or not enough bass? Move around the room and see if the bass response changes. It’s possible your listening position coincides with a room mode where the low frequencies either become exaggerated or nulled. If so, try moving the loudspeakers to a different position, or moving your listening position. FUSE
  • 12. 12 Lonely? Looking for that special someone? Do you have a question about your TAPCO loudspeaker? Please call our Technical Support chaps at 1-877-827-2669, Monday to Friday, from 7 AM to 5 PM PST. After hours, visit www.tapcoworld.com and look under Talk To Us, or e-mail us at techmail@tapcogear.com Noise/Hum • Check the signal cable between the mixer and the loudspeaker. Make sure all connections are secure. These problems usually produce crackling noises or hum. • If you are using two or more TH-15A active loudspeakers, try plugging them all into the same AC outlet panel or outlet strip. The purpose for this is to connect them all to the same earth ground point and reduce the possibility of creating a ground loop. • If connecting an unbalanced output to the TH-15A balanced input, make sure the shield is connected to the unbalanced ground and to pin 1 of the XLR. Repair For warranty repair or replacement, refer to the warranty information on page 15. Non-warranty repair for TAPCO products is available at a factory-authorized service center.
