Thank you for purchasing an X Series 1110X / 1201X / 1205X Loudspeaker System from Fender Pro Audio. We are sure you will find it both a unique and effective sound reinforcement product, providing years of trouble-free service day in and day out. X Series Loudspeaker Systems are professional, fullrange, two-way, compact loudspeakers designed for the most demanding permanent or portable sound reinforcement requirements. Moreover, these speakers are ideal for use as a two-way system or as the mid / high pack in a three-way set-up incorporating a Fender 115sA / 118sA subwoofer loudspeaker system. X Series Loudspeaker Systems are designed to form the basis of everything from a small public address system to the nightly rigors of a working bands sound system. After moisture sealing, X Series cabinets are covered in tough black Tolex covering. Likewise, X Series cabinets also feature metal corners and rubber feet for a longer life and lasting looks. Please read through this owners guide in order to more fully understand the operational characteristics of your X Series Loudspeaker enclosure.
CAUTION: Almost all speakers produce strong magnetic fields which may interfere with the normal operation of nearby electronic devices, including televisions and computer video monitors. To reduce or eliminate interference, increase the distance between this product and other nearby electronic devices.
Keep in mind, power and audio signal cables are the most common sources of sound system failure. Well made and carefully maintained cables are essential to the reliability of the entire sound system. If long speaker cables are required, it is important to ensure the cables gauge is sufficient to transfer all of the available amplifier power to the speakers rather than absorbing the power itself. As a rule of thumb, larger wires are better as they conduct more power to the speakers (larger wire has smaller gauge numbers). Below are two charts listing speaker wire gauges and recommendations for best results.

Two speakers in a "loose pack" array requiring maximum horizontal coverage NOTE: When setting up your X Series enclosures, be sure to place the cabinets in such a way as to minimize overlapping radiating patterns. A second consideration is for feedback and bass performance. If the speaker is placed near a large, flat wall, the bass output will increase by approximately 6 dB. Placing the speaker near a wall can cause feedback. If this occurs, the speaker must be moved. A third consideration is to what degree the speaker should be "heard and not seen", especially in permanent installations. Remember, where the speaker cabinets are placed will effect both their tone and radiating patterns.
If X enclosures are used as the mid / high pack in a larger three-way loudspeaker array, an external crossover may be used with the speaker and two channels of power amplification will be required: one for the low frequencies and another for the high frequencies (see diagram on page 7).
SETUP SUGGESTIONS
The placement of any speaker can dramatically affect its sound. Thus, there are several considerations to review when placing loudspeakers. First, the range of the horizontal coverage should be determined. The speaker may be used as a single unit, as part of a pair, or as part of a group of widely spaced enclosures, in any case, maximum horizontal coverage will be desired. Examples of these types of setups are shown. The horn in this configuration has a horizontal coverage angle of 70 and a vertical coverage of 35.
