Hafler TRM12S Home Security System User Manual


 
INTRODUCTION
1
Thank You and congratulations on your purchase of the HAFLER TRM10s/TRM12s reference monitor, the world's finest
brand in professional audio equipment.
The TRM10s (Trans
ana
Reference Monitor) is an amplified 10" subwoofer monitor. The TRM12s is an amplified 12"
subwoofer monitor. Both models offer unmatched quality and performance in a truly professional grade product. The
TRM10s/TRM12s are great for Professional Studios, Digital Work Stations, Broadcast Booths, and Home Project Studios.
Although we realize a professional such as yourself already knows a thing or two about pro audio, we urge you to read this
manual to at least humor our technical writer. For ease of use, this manual is organized into three main sections: Installation,
Operation, and Service Reference. Installation covers the set-up of your new HAFLER equipment in the system.
Operation covers the controls and how to use them for optimum performance. Service Reference contains field service
information useful for technicians and engineers.
TECHNICAL DESIGN FEATURES
The TRM10s/TRM12s monitors utilize a specially designed amplifier featuring our innovative Trans
ana
circuitry. This
topology, with its unique input-to-output configuration (derived from our patented Trans
nova
circuit), employs
MOSFETs in both the power supply and output stages that result in superior sound quality.
The amplifier features an auto turn-on/off circuit that eliminates the need for a conventional power switch. Input
signals can be fed into the amplifier via Balanced XLR jacks (where long cable runs are used) or into standard Un-
Balanced RCA jacks (where short cable runs are used). Each pair of inputs is combined into a mono-summed signal
before being fed into a 4th order Linkwitz-Riley low-pass crossover, variable from 40Hz~140Hz. If selected, the signal
is then fed into the Phase Warp that allows the phase of the signal to be adjusted at 90˚, 180˚, or 270˚ increments.
The TRM10s features a 10" (254mm) low frequency transducer with a cone made from cellulose fibre. A santoprene
rubber surround that is immune to temperature fluctuations controls woofer damping and reduces 2nd harmonic
distortions for a very wide and flat frequency response. The transducer also features a 2" (51mm) 4-layer copper voice
coil wound on an aluminum voice coil former and is driven by a 30 oz. magnet. The TRM12s features a 12" (305mm)
low frequency transducer made with the same cellulose fibre cone and santoprene rubber surround. The 12" trans-
ducer features a 2.5" (63.5mm) 4-layer copper voice coil wound on an aluminum voice coil former driven by a 102 oz.
magnet.
Both the TRM10s and TRM12s are downfiring subwoofer models and are vented using a radiused Aerovent for reduced
turbulence. The cabinet is made from acoustically dead 19mm MDF material and is internally packed with damping
material to eliminate internal resonance.
