Introduction

The RF Punch HE Woofers are a full line of low frequency drivers sizedfrom 8" to 15" and are available in 4 or 8 ohm impedance. The RF PunchHE woofers were designed for use primarily in small, sealed or portedenclosures. By utilizing the latest materials and construction techniques,we are able to offer a speaker with high output at low frequencies whilerequiring a minimum of operating space.

RF Punch HE WooferInstallation & Owner's Manual

Recommended Enclosures

This manual outlines 2 specific types of enclosures that provide distinctlydifferent performance. This section is to help you decide which type is bestfor your application.

Sealed

Sealed enclosures are the simplest to build. The most important part ofbuilding a sealed enclosure is to make sure that the enclosure is airtight.Using glue and some type of sealant on all seams will ensure solid con-struction and prevent air leaks. The box volume will directly impact theperformance of the speaker. Larger enclosure will provide flatter responseand deeper bass where smaller boxes will provide a bump in the responsecurve and generally higher output for greater SPL.

Advantages of sealed enclosures•Small enclosures•Linear (Flat) response•No port noise•High power handling at all frequencies•Excellent for sound quality

Recommended Enclosures

Vented Enclosures:Vented enclosures vary only from the sealed enclosures in that a vent orport is added to “tune” the enclosure. The enclosures recommended aredesigned for great overall performance. Larger boxes tend to be easy totune to lower frequencies while medium and small boxes are easier to tuneto higher frequencies. The vented design is less linear in response than thesealed box with noticeably more output at the tuning frequency.

Advantages of vented enclosures•Higher average output than sealed•Tuning frequency can be easily adjusted by changing port length•Deep bass response with lower power requirements•Great for high output with limited power

Building an EnclosureTo work properly, the walls of the enclosure must be rigid and not flexwhen subjected to the high pressures generated by the speaker's operation.For optimum performance, we recommend using 3/4" MDF (MediumDensity Fiberboard) and internal bracing. The enclosure should be gluedtogether and secured with nails or screws. MDF is porous; therefore, it issuggested to also seal the outside walls with polyurethane.

Calculating VolumeCalculating volume is merely a matter of measuring the dimensions ininches and using the formula:

1728"/(cu in/cu ft)Height” x Width” x Depth”Box Volume=

(cubic feet)

If two facing sides are of uneven length, add them together and divide bytwo to take the average. Using this number will give you the volume with-out the necessity of calculating the box in sections and adding the sectionstogether. The thickness of the baffle material reduces the internal volumeso this must be subtracted from the outside dimensions to determine theinternal volume. The speaker itself also reduces the internal volume. Theamount of air displaced by each model is listed on the specification sheetand should also be subtracted from the gross volume calculation.

Subwoofer CrossoversThere are two operational types of crossovers, passive and active. Passivecrossovers (coils or inductors) are placed on the speaker leads between theamplifier and speaker. An active crossover is an electronic filter which sep-arates the audio signal fed to different amplifiers. For optimum subwooferperformance, we recommend using an active 80-100Hz low-passcrossover at 12dB/octave.

Wiring Configurations

Three configurations for connecting speakers to an amplifier are Series,Parallel, and Series-Parallel wiring. A Series configuration consists of twoor more speakers wired in an string (end to end). A Parallel configurationconsists of two or more speakers wired with the common terminals con-nected across each other. A Series-Parallel configuration is a combinationof both methods. Determine which method will be compatible with youramplifier.

Para un buen funcionamiento las paredes del recinto han de ser rigidas ysin flexión a altas presiones de aire. Recomendamos usar un espesor de 1.9cm de conglomerado de alta densidad o fibra de media densidad. Si elrecinto es muy grande es necessario reforzarlo internamente. Las juntasdeben ser encoladas y aseguradas con tornillos o grapas. Internamente lasjuntas deben ser selladas con silicona para prevenir las fugas de aire. Lacola para madera es la mejor opción. Debido a la porosidad del conglom-erado de alta densidad y la fibra es recomendable sellar exteriormente lacaja con poliuretano.

Calcul Du VolumeOn calcule le volume en mesurant la dimension de chaque côté et en util-isant la formule suivante:

Volume du caisson =

(Litres)

Si les due côtés qui se font face n'ont pas la même longueur, additionnezles et divisez le résultat par deux pour obtenir la moyenne des deuxlongueurs. Utilisez le nombre ainsi obtenu dans la formule pour détermin-er le litrage. Cette méthode permet d'obtenir le volume du caisson sansdevoir faire de calculs compliqués de section de volume. L'épaisseur dumatériau dont est fait le caisson réduit le volume interne de celui-ci.Lorsqu'on mesure les côtés du caisson il ne faut donc pas oublier d'oter desmesures l'epaisseur du matériau. Le haut-parleur lui-même diminue le vol-ume interne du caisson. Le volume d'air déplacé par chaque modèle dehaut-parleur est repris dans les spécifications techniques et doit égalementêtre soustrait du volume total.

1000cc3/litresHauteur (cm) x Longueur (cm) x Largeur(cm)

12

Pour fonctionner convenablement les parois du caisson doivent être rigideslorsqu'elles sont soumises aux hautes pressions dues au fonctionnement duhaut-parleur. Nous vous recommandons d'utiliser des panneaux de boisaggloméré à haute ou moyenne densité de particules de type “MDF”. Cespanneaux sont disponibles dans la plupart des magasins de bricolage. Pourun caisson de grand volume il est recommandé de placer des renforts à l'in-térieur du caisson. Les différents côtés devront être collés (colle à bois) etvissés (ou éventuellement cloués). Il est recommandé de mettre un joint desilicone dans les arêtes internes du caisson afin d'éviter les fuites d'air. Dufait de la porosité des matériaux que nous vous conseillons il est préférablede recouvrir l'extérieur du caisson avec du polyuréthane.

BITTE LESEN SIE DIESE GEBRAUCHSANLEITUNG ZUERST SORGFÄLTIGDURCH. DAS KANN SIE VOR FALSCHEM EINSATZ, AUSFALLEN ODERSOGAR BESCHÄDIGUNG DES PRODUKTES ODER IHRES FAHRZEUGESSCHÜTZEN.

EinleitungDie RF-Punch HE Woofer sind eine komplette Produktlinie von Tief-Frequenzlautsprechern mit Durchmesser von 20 cm bis zu 46 cm,erhältlich in der Impendanz 4 - und 8 Ohm (Die RF Punch HE Woofer wur-den vorwiegend fur den Einsatz in geschlossenen Gehäuse konstruiert).Durch die Verwendung neuester Materialien und Produktionstechnikenkönnen wir Ihnen heute einen Lautsprecher vorstellen, der hoheLautstärken und tiefe Frequenzen selbst in sehr kleinen Volumen repro-duzieren kann.

Die Anschluβterminals wurden auf jeder Seite des Lautsprecherkorbes posi-tioniert um eventuelle Kurzschlüsse auch bei hoher Leistungauszuschlieβen (Das Positiv-Terminal ist durch eine Farbmarkierung geken-zeichnet). Eine rote Farbamrkierung befindet sich immer bei einemLautsprecher mit einer Impedanz von 8 Ohm, eine violette Farbmarkierungzeichnet die Lautsprecher mit der Impedanz 4 Ohm.

Volumen-Berechnung

Sollten zwei gegenüberliegende Seiten ungleich lang sein, so können siedie Maβe zusammen rechnen und durch zwei dividieren um denDurchschnitt zu erhalten. Dies macht Ihnen die Berechnung leichter undSie müssen das Gehäuse nicht in Sektionen berechnen, die Sie danachwieder mühselig zusammen zählen müssen. Die Materialstärke beeinfluβtnatürlich auch das Innen-Volumen, so muss für eine präzise Berechnungdie Materialstärke von Auβen-Volumen abgezogen werden. DerLautsprecher verringert ebenfalls das Innen-Volumen, auch er sollte natür-lich heraus gerechnet werden. Jedes Lautsprecher-Volumen ist unter“Specifications” genau aufgelistet.

Gehäuse-Volumen =

1000cc3/Kubik liter

Höhe (cm) x Breite (cm) x Tiefe (cm)

(Kubik Liter)

Zur Volumen-Berechung benötigen sie die genauen Maβe undDimensionen in Zentimetern.

14

Um das Gehäuse so präzise wie möglich zu bauen, sollten dieGehäusewände sehr steif und luftundurchlässig sein, um dem entsehendenLuftdruck des Lautsprechers standhalten zu können. Wir empfehlen 1,9 cmmittelverdichtete Faserplatte (MDF), die in den meisten Baumärkten ange-boten wird. Bei einem gröβeren Gehäuse sollten Sie Versteifungen durchHolzbalken montieren. Diese sollten – wie auch das gesamte Gehäuse –mit Holzleim geklebt und verschraubt oder vernagelt sein. Um eine höhereDichte zu erreichen, empfiehlt es sich, die Kanten und Verschraubungenmit Silikon abzudichten und das Gehäuse von innen mit einerHohlraumversiegelung zu behandeln.

LEGGERE CON ATTENZIONE LE SEGUENTI ISTRUZIONI PRIMA DEL-L'INSTALLAZIONE DEL PRODOTTO.

I connettori di ingresso positivi e negativi sono montati sul cestello inposizioni speculari. Il montaggio separato impedisce al segnale musicale dicortocircuitarsi ad altissimi livelli di volume. (Il terminale di ingresso é indi-cato da una marcatura colorata sul cestello.) Un contrassengno rosso indi-ca che l'impedenza dell'altoparlante é 8 ohm, il contrassegno viola é imp-iegato per i 4 ohm.

IntroduzioneI woofer RF Punch HE sono una linea completa di altoparlanti per basse fre-quenze con diametri che vanno da 20 a 46 cm e disponibili sia a 4 che a8 ohm. (I woofer RF Punch HE sono progettati per il funzionamento princi-pale in cassa chiusa.). Impiegando le piú aggiomate tecnologie e materiali,siamo in grado di offrire altoparlanti che possono riprodurre un'elevatapressione sonora alle basse frequenze mantenendo i volumi di impiegoassolutamente ridotti.

Calcolo del VolumeCalcolare il volume é essenzialmente solo un problema di misurazionedelle dimensioni in centimetri della cassa e di applicazione della formula:

Volume dellacassa =

(litri) 1000cc3/litri

Alteza (cm) x Larghezza (cm) x Profonditá (cm)

Se due pareti parallele sono di dimensioni diverse (prisma), semplicementesommatele e dividete il risulto per due. Impiegando il risultato ottenutopotete calcolare il volume senza dividere la cassa i sezioni. Lo spessore dellegno riduce il volume interno, per cui é necessario sottrario dalle dimen-sioni esterne. Anche il volume dell'altoparlante stesso riduce il volumedella cassa e deve essere sottratto. Il volume che ciascun altoparlante con-tribuisce a togliere dalla cassa é indicato nelle tabelle con le specifiche.

16

Per ottenere le prestazioni massime, le pareti della cassa devono essererigide e non flettere sotto la sollecitaxione della elevata pressione generatadal woofer. Noi raccomandiamo l'impiego di MDF con uno spessore min-imo di 19 mm, materiale facilmente reperibile in tutte le falegnamerle. Percasse di dimensioni molto grandi é indispensabile prevedere dei rinforziinterni. Le giunture devono essere incollate e fissate con viti o chiodi inabbondanza. Intermanmente le giunture devono essere siliconate perimpedire trafilati d'aria. Anche la colla da legno funziona bene. Essendo ilMDF un materiale poroso si consiglia di sigillare l'esterno con materialipoliuretanici.
