PPHP1259  
 
There is an integrated 35mm speaker stand  
adapter on the bottom side of the cabinet. Use the  
knob to secure the speaker to the stand.  
Connections  
Your PPHP1259 speaker has a speakon jack as well as a ¼” jack. The  
jacks are wired in parallel, which allows you to daisy chain additional  
speakers. Thus you can use one amplifier channel to power multiple  
speakers.  
Make certain that the wires you are using are at least 12 gauge  
unshielded speaker cable (the lower the number, the thicker the wire). Do  
not use shielded “instrument” cables.  
Hooking speakers up in parallel decreases the overall  
impedance, placing a greater load on the amplifier. Check your  
amplifier’s specifications to ensure that you are not overloading  
the channel.  
CAUTION: DO NOT USE MORE THAN ONE JACK AS AN  
AMPLIFIER INPUT. DOING SO WILL DAMAGE THE SPEAKER!  
Amplifier Requirements  
There are a couple of considerations to keep in mind when choosing  
an amplifier to drive your PPHP1259. While it is true that an amplifier with  
a higher power rating can damage the drivers, under-powering can be even  
more dangerous. When an amplifier is overdriven and starts distorting, it  
generates transient frequencies that are much louder than the program  
material. These wayward frequencies could damage your speaker. A proper  
match is an amplifier which could drive the speaker up to the cabinet’s RMS  
rating, without exceeding the amplifier’s own RMS level.

Operation  
When powering on your equipment, make sure the volume level on  
the amplifier is turned all the way down. This is to avoid the “popping”  
noise, which could damage your speaker.  
The placement of speakers can be a bit tricky. Besides for the  
practical considerations, there are acoustic issues as well. Avoid placing the  
speaker in a corner, as this will cause the low frequencies to sound “muddy”.  
Similarly, but to a lesser degree, placing the speaker directly against the wall  
will exaggerate the low frequencies. You should therefore try to place your  
speaker so that it is a few feet away from the wall.  
High frequencies are unidirectional while low frequencies are omni  
directional. Being that this is a full range enclosure, it is important that the  
speaker be placed so that the high frequencies reach the intended listeners  
properly. Make certain that no person or object could come to interrupt the  
line-of-site between the loudspeaker and the audience.  
When using more than one loudspeaker, you have to account for  
phase alignment. When the speakers are close together this is not usually an  
issue. However, when they are far apart, the sound from one speaker may  
reach the ear a fraction of a second before the other. This will cause certain  
frequencies to cancel out, resulting in a hollow sound. To avoid this, you  
may have to use a delay processor to align the sound from the speakers.

Troubleshooting  
No Sound:  
VCheck connections  
VTry a different speaker cable  
VCheck levels on amplifier  
VConfirm amplifier is getting a signal (check signal LED, or use  
headphone output)  
Intermittent Output:  
VCheck connections  
VTry a different speaker cable  
Weak Bass:  
VCheck the polarity of the speaker connection. It may be reversed.  
VListen with headphones to confirm the amplifier is being sent a good  
signal.  
Distorted Sound:  
VCheck if the amplifier is overdriven. If it is, you will have to turn the  
level down.  
VMake sure you are not exceeding the RMS rating of your speaker.
