SS1000 – Labyrinth Folded Horn Sub Bass Cabinet

Category:

SS 1000 is our original flag ship scoop sub for concerts and outdoor events alike.

The innovative labyrinth folded horn enclosure incorporates a 1000w RMS 18” driver specifically designed to withstand the large excursions typical of high level sub bass reproduction. Large deflector ports ensure optimum enclosure tuning whilst reducing turbulent air noise and forms the bass foundation for a very powerful Blacka Group portable club system, equally suitable for dance venues and live music reproduction.

Each connector panel has two Neutrik Speakon connectors wired in parallel. The second connector allows use of a short link lead to power a secondary parallel loudspeaker. The connectors are wired as follows:

  • 2 Core cable
  • Pin 1 Positive
  • Pin 1 Negative

When connecting Blacka Group sound reinforcement to an amplifier it is recommended that the return resistance of the cable used is less than one tenth of the normal impedance of the system or systems in parallel the chart below gives an indication of the maximum possible cable runs for conductor cross sectional areas.

The Blacka Group SS Series Systems are designed to be used with professional power amplifiers capable of producing a minimum specifcation of 1100w – 2200w power output into 4 ohms.

Care should be taken to avoid amplifier clipping, it is important to understand that a low power amplifier driven into clipping is more likely to damage a loud speaker than a higher power amplifier used within its ratings. Primarily because music signals have a high peak to average crest factor. When an amplifier is severely overdriven its output waveform is clipped resulting in squared off peaks and thus reducing the crest factor. In extreme cases, the waveform can approach that of a square wave. An amplifier is normally capable of producing far more power under these conditions than its undistorted rated power output. The use of very high power amplifiers with outputs greater than those recommended is discouraged.

Care should be taken to avoid switch on surges, which can result in momentary power peaks in excess of specified ratings. When powering up a sound system it is important to switch on the amplifiers after the mixer and control electronics have stabilised. When powering down the system, reverse the sequence and switch off the amplifiers first.

The BS15 units can be used with a wide array of Blacka Groupspeakers. Typical configurations are listed below

Nightclub: TFR1201 – TFR 1202 – TFR 1502S – TFR 1502L – FES 10 – FES 12

Live Music: – TFR 1202 – TFR 1502L – FES 10 – FES 12

Arena / Outdoor: – FES 10 – FES 12 – FES LMF

It is important that loudspeaker systems are used in a safe manner. Please take some time to review the following points concerning use of Blacka Group Loudspeakers.

Professional loudspeakers are capable of producing extremely high sound levels and should be used with care. Hearing loss is cumulative and can result from levels above 90 DB if people are exposed for a long period , never stand close to loudspeakers driven at high level.

STACKING

  1. The SS1000 is a relatively heavy unit and should always be lifted by two people.
  2. Ensure that the floor or stage is level and solid.
  3. Do not stack speakers too hign when outdoors as high winds can topple stacks.
  4. Be aware that these speakers produce very high levels of output. They can move or creep, to avoid any problems it is advisable to strap the speakers down when stacking.
