if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).
2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
Position your Kramer TR-91 / TR-92 away from moisture, excessive sunlight
and dust
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.
There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit.

TR-91 / TR-92 - Overview
3 Overview
The TR-91 100W Audio Transformer is a 100W transformer for speaker signals.
The unit takes one 4Ω/8Ω channel from the speaker output of a power amplifier,
transforms it to 70V/100V and distributes it to an array of loudspeakers.
The TR-92 2x100W Audio Transformer is a 2x100W transformer for speaker
signals. The unit takes two 4Ω/8Ω channels from a speaker output of a power
amplifier, transforms them to 70V/100V and distributes them to an array of
loudspeakers.

TR-91 / TR-92 - Installing the TR-91 and TR-92
5 Installing the TR-91 and TR-92
This section explains how to install the Open-back ceiling speakers, that is:
Connecting the TR-92 (see Section 5.1)
Connecting the TR-91 (see Section 5.2)
5.1 Connecting the TR-92
To connect the TR-92, as illustrated in the example in Figure 3, do the following:
1. Connect an audio amplifier (for example, the Kramer 907xl Power/Amplifier
Mixer) to the TR-92 input channels by connecting the:
Left + and - OUTPUT terminal block connectors on the 907xl to the
CHANNEL 1 INPUT + (8Ω) and –(COM) terminal block connectors on
the TR-92
Right + and - OUTPUT terminal block connectors on the 907xl to the
CHANNEL 2 INPUT + (8Ω) and –(COM) terminal block connectors on
the TR-92
Alternatively, you can reverse the order and connect the left output on the 907xl to
CHANNEL 2 and the right output on the 907xl to CHANNEL 1.
2. Connect the OUTPUTs to a 70V/100V speaker (for example, the Kramer
Galil 8-C Ceiling Speakers) by connecting CHANNEL 1 to the Left speaker
and CHANNEL 2 to the Right speaker. For each channel connect the COM
terminal block connector to the - speaker connector and the 70V or 100V
OUTPUT terminal block connector to the + speaker connector.
Note that you have to select the same power settings (70V or 100V),
as required, for both channels.
i
Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your
TR-91 / TR-92. After connecting your TR-91 / TR-92, connect its power
and then switch on the power to each device.

3. Connect the audio amplifier (the Kramer 907xl Power Amplifier/Mixer in this
example):
To up to two audio sources (not shown in Figure 3)
24V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the adapter to
the mains electricity
