VFold Compression Series
This series of dynamic enclosures has been devel-
oped for demanding and powerful performance in a
compact package. The VFold design projects power-
ful low-frequency while the CMP 215H reproduces
smooth mids and seamless transition to the compres-
sion horn. Standard features include: 5/8” plywood
construction, dense fiberboard baffles, high output
woofers, second-order crossovers w/ LTP protection,
black carpet, recessed handles and heavy duty round
perforated grills.
CROSSOVER CONNECTIONS

second input is available for connecting to an addi-
tional cabinet (daisy chaining).

CAUTION: Never input a full-range signal to the Bi-
amp inputs. When Bi-amping, the high frequency
minimum crossover point should be 1500 Hz @ 12db
per octave slope. Lowering the crossover point will
reduce the power handling of the horn.
SET UP TIPS
·Always survey the area you wish to cover with
your speaker system to make sure that your sys-
tem is adequately matched for the venue.
·Use good judgment when placing your speakers
for audience coverage so that the speaker system
will disperse over your audience and not directly
at ear level. (Remember, high frequencies are
absorbed much easier by people, curtains and
other soft materials; while low frequencies are
not so easily absorbed)
·Always use good quality speaker cables and never
use guitar cables for hooking-up your speaker
system.
·Important: Always use caution when con-
necting speakers to an amplifier source. The
power amp should be off when making con-
nections.
·Severe hearing loss is possible if subjected
to extended durations of high-output sound
levels.
·Always wear hearing protection whenever
possible.
