8. ing an amplifier it is important to take into account its behaviour under low impedance load conditions A loudspeaker system is highly reactive and with transient signals it can require more current than the nominal impedance would indicate Generally a higher power amplifier running free of distortion will do less damage to the loudspeaker than a lower power amplifier continually clipping It is also worth remembering that a high powered amplifier running at less than 90 of output power generally sounds a lot better than a lower power amplifier running at 10096 An amplifier with insufficient drive capability will not allow the full performance or the loudspeaker to be realised See technical specifications section for recommended amplifier power It is important when using different manufacturers amplifiers in a single installation that the have very closely matched gains the variation should be less than 0 5dB This precaution is important to the overall system balance when only a single active crossover is being used with multiple cabinets it is therefore recommended that the same amplifiers be used throughout 6 0 CROSSOVERS The V6 is supplied as standard for passive operation via the internal crossover network If higher peak outputs and additional low frequency output is required then the V6 can be used in conjunction with the Tannoy TX1 controller crossover which provides high pass filtering and a degree of parametric equalisa
