GENERAL AMPLIFICATION NOTES & REQUIREMENTS

oFor the purpose of this discussion: Crown I_TECH series amplifiers are used below. HF

indicates High Frequency drivers, MF indicates Mid Frequency drivers, LF indicates Low

Frequency drivers and VLF stands for Very Low Frequency drivers (subwoofers).

oEquivalent amplifiers can be used as substitutions.

oUsers should observe differences in input sensitivity and maximum available power at a given

impedance load.

oUsers may choose to use the same size amplifier to power all components / passbands.

oDSP crossover presets provided by JBL assume that the same amplifier models with equal

voltage gain, are used for each bandpass.

oIf different gain settings or amplifiers models are used, users may need to adjust the output

gains of the digital controller(s).

VT4489

o 4 VT4889 can be powered with (4) I-T4000.

Two boxes are wired in parallel per NL8 circuit.

(HF: CH1 & CH2, MF: CH1 & CH2, LO1: CH1 & CH2, LO2: CH1 & CH2)

o Using (4) I-T6000 would provide enough power to drive up to 6 VT4889.

Three boxes are wired in parallel per NL8 circuit.

o I-T4000 can be used for the HF section to power 2 or 3 boxes.

VT4888

o 4 VT4888 can be powered with 4 I-T4000.

Two boxes are wired in parallel per NL8 circuit.

(HF: CH1 & CH2, MF: CH1 & CH2, LO1: CH1 & CH2, LO2: CH1 & CH2)

o Using 4 I-T6000 would provide enough power to drive up to 6 VT4888.

Three boxes are wired in parallel.

o I-T4000 can be used for the HF or MF section to power 2 or 3 boxes.

VT 4887

o 4 VT4887 can be powered with (1) I-T4000.

If four boxes are wired in parallel per NL8 circuit then

CH1: LF @ 2 ohms & CH2: MH/HF @ 2 ohms.

VT4880

o 2 VT4880 can be powered with (1) I-T4000.

If two boxes are wired in parallel using NL4 cables then each amp channel powers (4) 2258

for a 4 ohms load.

o 3 VT4880 can be powered with (1) I-T6000.

If three boxes are wired in parallel using NL4 cables then each amp channel powers (3)

2258 for a 2.7 ohms load.

o 4 VT4880 can be powered with (1) I-T8000.

If four boxes are wired in parallel using NL4 cables then each amp channel powers (4) 2258

for a 2.0 ohms load.

Separate NL4 cable runs are recommended with parallel wiring at the amp.

VT4881

o 4 VT4881 can be powered with (1) I-T4000.

If four boxes are wired in parallel using NL4 cables then each amp channel powers (4)

distinct coils of dual-coil 2256Gs for a 2.0 ohms load. Each 2256G has (2) coils.

Separate NL4 cable runs are recommended with parallel wiring at the amp.

NOTES ON SUBWOOFER WIRING

oVT4880: users may choose to wire both 2258 (18”) components in parallel to one (1) channel of

a an I-T amp for (4) ohms load. In this case each amplifier channel drives one VT4880. If two

VT4880 are wired in parallel, the load is two ohms. Three 4880s can not wired in parallel in this

situation.

oVT4881: users may choose to wire both coils in a single 2256G component in parallel to one (1)

channel of an I-T amp for (4) ohms load. In this case each amplifier channel drives one

VT4881. If two VT4881 are wired in parallel, the load is two ohms. Three 4881s can not wired

in parallel in this situation.

USERS MUST NOT WIRE THE VOICE COILS ON A 2256G (VT4881) OUT OF POLARITY TO

EACH OTHER.

NL8: PIN 1 + = RED CONNECTOR A & BLACK CONNECTOR A

NL8: PIN 2 + = RED CONNECTOR B & BLACK CONNECTOR B

STANDARD AMPLIFICATION RACK

For those users looking to minimize amplifier rack configurations, one amplifier rack with

(1) I-T4000 and (3) I-T6000 and 2 NL8 output circuits can power up to:

o 4 to 6 VT4889 (2 or 3 boxes per circuits AMPS: HF, MF, LF1, LF2)

OR

o 4 to 6 VT4888 (2 or 3 boxes per circuits AMPS: HF, MF, LF1, LF2)

OR

o 8 VT4887 & 4 VT4881

(4 VT4887 & 2 VT4881 per circuit AMPS: MF/HF, LF, VLF1, VLF2)

This rack would use the same input signal path from the digital controller of choice. Users would only

need to recall the appropriate DSP file on the unit.

o VT4889 or VT4888

DSP outputs: LO, MID, HIGH (stereo)

o VT4887 & VT4881

DSP outputs: SUB, LO, MID/HIGH (stereo)

NOTES REGARDING LIMITER SETTINGS

•The recommended limiter threshold settings provide 3 dB of headroom before the

component or bandpass peak voltage is reached.

•The component or bandpass peak voltage is 6 dB above the voltage used at continuous

maximum power.

•These settings assume the use of a I-T amplifier in stereo mode with input sensitivity of

1.3V for a voltage gain of 36 dB.

•If a different amplifier is used or if the input sensitivity is changed, the limiter threshold

must be re-calculated.

•Not all DSP controllers behave the same way. Please study your unit accordingly.

•Users must take into consideration that the digital controller gain outputs are not all “0”

dB, i.e. for VT4889/4880, the VLF is at +6 dB, the LF is at 0 dB, the MF is at -2.5 dB and

the HF is at –4 dB. Hence, the actual headroom before limiter threshold is effectively

greater than it may seem from the above charts.

•Users should carefully test these settings, and lower or raise the thresholds for a given

type of program material as required.
