1.4 Connections
IBZA12 loudspeaker utilizes Neutrik®SpeakON®connectors. There are two NLT4
connectors on the rear of each IBZA12. These connectors mate with Neutrik®NL-4 or NL-4
compatible in-line cable connectors. Only two pins (1+/1-) of both connectors are wired in
parallel. The following subsections describe the electrical connections. Other configuration
should be requested at the purchase time.
The IBZA12 uses the pin assignment 1+/1+.
Using one as the input, the second connector allows
for direct connection to a second cabinet in parallel.

1.5 Processing and Amplification
Only operate Tecnare loudspeaker with a correctly configured Tecnare preset. Tecnare
offer a complete solution that guarantees the highest level of performance. A complete range of
controllers, amplified and amplified controller with DSP are available to get this objective.
Otherwise, there is a risk of damaging the loudspeaker components.
1.3.1 Processing
There are two options using our digital controllers. The DP2696 or DP4896 are the
approved processor for use whit IBZA Series. The options vary depending on the final
application. Refer to DP2696 or DP4896 user manual.
You may obtain the settings from the DP Series at http://www.tecnare.com website
1.3.2 Amplification
To power IBZA Series, Tecnare recommends amplifiers with the power ratings enough
to feed the loudspeakers. For high power or live applications, it is recommended to
oversize the amplifiers relative to the nominal AES output of the loudspeakers. A lower
power amplifier will not reduce the chances of driver damage due to over-excursion,
and may actually increase the risk of thermal damage due to sustained clipping.
In certain specific cases it is possible to slightly under-power the subs or loudspeakers
as long as the amplifier will not be driven to its limits.
In any case, the Tecnare processors should be deployed in front of the amp to ensure
that the amplifiers to not go into clip.
The TSeries amplifier or DP4896 processors also include:
-Virtual Xover Limiter for passive systems
- Thermal protection from power surges or overload
- Xmax Excursion displacement protection
The T10-44/T6-44 and T-48 Series amplifier is the ideal companions for maximum
performance of the IBZA Series loudspeakers. These Advanced System Amplifiers controlled
with DSP offer a complete both preset and protection solution for any application.

2Loudspeaker Configuration
2.1 Configurable Asymmetrical Horn
The IBZA12 loudspeakers are designed for standing, vertical and horizontal operation. A
variety of accessories is available from Tecnare®to securely attach the loudspeaker, e.g. on
stands or suspended horizontally or vertically from trusses and motor lifts.
In some situations, it may be advantageous to switch the coverage of the high frequency
range. For this purpose the Asymmetrical Dispersion Constant Directivity rotatable horn is an
important feature of the IBZA12. The horn can be rotated in four different positions and can be
useful for specialized applications such as complex arrays, systems designed with CAD
software, etc.
Ensure that the loudspeakers are securely attached to prevent personal injury
and property damage.
NOTE
TECNARE recommends using only the accessories specified by TECNARE to
secure the loudspeakers.
2.2 Vertical Point Source
Good coverage of audiences often requires a conflicting combination of wide coverage
("short-throw") for the closest listeners (below cabinet axis) and narrow coverage ("long-throw")
for distant areas (on or above axis). The IBZA12 loudspeaker horizontal horn coverage varies
from "short-throw" to "long-throw" along the vertical axis to precisely match these practical
requirements in a single system. For the majority of applications, the asymmetrical horn should
be used with its "wide" dispersion side directed towards the floor, but all four cabinet
orientations are usable.

2.3 Horizontal Point Source
The specific HF dispersion pattern and rotatable horn provides unique flexibility in ceiling
mounting, floor mounting applications as well as vertical array mounting.
IBZA1 Horizontal mode
2.4 Point Source with low-frequency element
In this configuration, the frequency response of the IBZA12 is extended in the low end.
IBZA12 enclosure is driven by the PA4.1500, PA2100 or PA3000 amplifier with the DP
Series Processor or T-44/T-48 Series amplifier controller both with same factory preset as in
point source configuration. The subwoofer will be operating with its corresponding factory
preset. The upper frequency limit must be 100 Hz for an optimal acoustic coupling with the
enclosure.
If your IBZA10 loudspeakers and subwoofers are separated by a greater distance - or delay
must be used between them - a measurement system such as SMAART should be used to
determine the correct delay and polarity.

2.5 Rotating the Horn
You can easily re-orient the IBZA12 rotatable horn to its 70º x 50º configuration. To
rotate the IBZA12’s horn, perform the following steps:
1. Place the IBZA12 loudspeaker with the front grill facing up. Ensure that the working
surface is clean with a non-slip finish.
2. Remove the six (6) metal reinforcement profiles screws (three per side) from IBZA12
using a hex key.
3. Carefully remove the grille.
4. Release the four (4) screws of the horn using a hex key. Pull the horn and the
compression driver upward out of the loudspeaker enclosure, being careful not to over-
stress its wiring.
5. Check that the seal between the enclosure and horn is properly seated.
6. Rotate the horn carefully on the desired position and place the horn and driver back into
the cabinet. It will fit comfortably snug.
7. Replace the four (4) horn flange screws.
8. Carefully replace the grille cover and the two (2) metal reinforcement profiles with its six
(6) screws.

2.6 Recommended Speaker Cables
Choosing the right wire gauge for your installation is utmost importance to ensure you will
get the maximum potential of your system.
The two primary things resistance affects in the amplifier-to-loudspeaker connection are:
insertion loss and damping factor, both of which are dependent upon cable resistance. Too
small a cable section will increase both its serial resistance and its capacitance; this reduces the
electrical power delivered to the loudspeaker and can also induce response (damping factor)
variations.
INSERTION LOSS
Insertion loss is the measure of the loss of load power at the speaker due to excessive
resistive losses of the cable or any additional component attached between the amplifier and
the loudspeaker. We typically express this loss in decibels (dB) using the following formula:
20 log Rload IL
Rload Rcable

= • 
+

DAMPING FACTOR
Damping factor is a ratio of rated loudspeaker impedance (ZL) to the source impedance
(Zs). In this case our source impedance is (Rcable + Ramplifier).
Damping Factor = ZL/ZS

3Amplifier Configuration
Tecnare®Sound Systems recommended operating the IBZA12 loudspeaker together
Tecnare loudspeaker controllers.
Tecnare®only recommends using preset/amplifier developed by Tecnare; otherwise there is
a risk of damaging the loudspeaker components. DP Series Loudspeaker Controller, PA Series
amplifier and T-Series amplifier are ideal for this purpose.
Ensure that the right preset was selected before connecting the loudspeaker with the
amplifier.
Operating with an incorrect preset can damage part of the loudspeaker.
Ensure that the amplifier is properly size according to requirements. Under-power or
oversize power amplifier without the supervision of an expert may damage the loudspeaker.
Please note the technical specification section.

4Integrating IBZA12 Using Subwoofers
4.1 Integrating IBZA12 Loudspeakers Systems with
Tecnare Subwoofers
An IBZA12 loudspeaker system can be deployed in combination with Tecnare's subwoofers
likes a SW215, SW118M, SW-18VR. These subwoofers can achieve very low frequency
response extending system response appreciably and increasing the overall acoustic power of
a system in the lowest frequencies.
The ideal ratio of IBZA12 loudspeakers to subwoofers depends on the subwoofer model,
configuration of the system, the application, and the frequency content of the signal being
reproduced.
For most application, a ratio of two IBZA12 for each SW-118M subwoofer and four IBZA12
for each SW215 subwoofer yield good results in frequency response and headroom.
4.2 Signal Delay
If IBZAs loudspeaker and subwoofers are used in their full-range configuration together DP-
Series Loudspeaker controlled or T-Series Amplifier, use the factory preset setting if they are
co-planar or near to each other.
For other configuration or if they are separated by a great distance it will usually be
necessary to determine the signal delay and polarity setting with a measurement system such
as SMAART audio analyzer.
NOTE: If the subwoofer’s amplifier/DSP Limit LED begins to light before
reaching the required SPL, consider adding more subwoofers to meet the
SPL requirements without exposing the drivers to excessive heat and
excursion.
