gmudge Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 I just built ALK networks using the Klipsch T2 auto transormer. I had to guess when connecting the auto transformer. Has anyone experimented with differant connections. Or can anyone tell me the correct method of connection. Thanks Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 0 and 5 in; 0 is negative. 5 & 2 out; 5 is negative for Al's standard configuration. try 4 and 0 out; 4 negative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmudge Posted December 21, 2003 Author Share Posted December 21, 2003 Thanks John I'll give it a shot. As it is it sounds pretty damn fine!!! Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Gary, The tap numbers on the T2A and the 3619 transformers are IDENTICAL except that the 3619 has an eXtra tap mareked "X". If I had marked it in keeping with the sequence used on the T2A the "X" tap on the 3619 would have had to me marked "1/2" since it is lower than "1". This means the available setting on the T2A are the same, you just don't have the settings that use the "X" tap. Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Trying to understand how to connect tehT2A, 0 is always negative right, so if the positive from the input side is connected to 5 that means the input taps are 0-5, if the output tap is 4 that means its 0-4 right. Which would put me at 3 db attenuation so If I wanted to have 3 more db I would go 0-5 and 0-3. Question 3 is being used to the squawker is this a problem sharing this tap.

The Dude Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yes that does thank you, I will start with 0-3 see how that sounds when it comes down to it, is it just personal preference. thanks Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I think I need to go another 3 db. but this system is sounding great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 You realize that change the taps, with out a compensating resistor, moves the crossover frequency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 No I didn't how do I figure what size resistor to put in, and thanks for the heads up. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfelliot Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 this might help From your drawing of the T2A, any idea what the total inductance 0-5 is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Units I measured were around 35mH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KanedaK Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 You realize that change the taps, with out a compensating resistor, moves the crossover frequency? I may be wrong, but I don't think this is true for the ALK universal network; it's always advertized as "plug and play" settings, also in the manual...

djk Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 The swamping resistor in the ALK network minimizes the change, but there is still a small change, and the cap has to be a much larger value. It's a reasonable compromise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
