0:00 I'm going to show you exactly what's inside this particular speaker
Alright folks, if you were anything like me when you were younger, you would get a new item and you'd rip it apart to look to see what was inside it. And also your mum and dad used to hate you because I used to rip open the radios and goodness knows what. So in this video I'm going to do that to this. So we can have a look inside. Now we're going to do one of two things. I'm going to show you exactly what's inside this particular speaker. And also, most importantly, and that is if you buy some of these, it means you don't have to open them up yourself because you can just watch this video and you can see what's inside yours. The phone's going. I'll leave it for a second. So I'll pause the camera but we're going to look inside these. They're QLX Pros. Hold tight, I'm going to answer this. Spam caller. Right, OK, I'm going to pause the camera. What we're going to do is I'm going to turn them around first of all.
1:16 First of all, there's your crossover
And just to let you know what we've got, we've got loads of screwy bits around the outside. Now there's screwy bits in the middle, there's four of them. Now I know straight away not to touch those because those are the actual screws holding on the crossover. So we'll leave those, I'll pause the camera and I'll just unscrew the screwy bits on the outside, excuse me. Right, first of all I'd like to show you something, this stuff here. Now that is not for Christmas, it's to stick around there so it can be Father Christmas. And it wasn't put in the speaker because someone, you know, blew their nose and accidentally threw it in and thought well let's screw it in because we don't really want people to see me blow my nose on stuff like that. This stuff is to actually help, I'm not so much dead in the sound but it's to stop the sound being so echoey around the actual speaker and it actually does prolong the speaker's life so put that back in. Right so what I'll do, I'll take the camera off now and we will have a look.
First of all, there's your crossover. Now this is known as a passive crossover. An active crossover is a crossover whereby you actually need an external power supply. These are your speak-on connectors. So one of those you will plug in if I just turn that around. Now input, now that means in. In other words, you'll go from your amplifier into the input. Then here, input and output, you can go from your amplifier into here. If you buy, say, or if you've got two lots of these, in other words, four of them, you can go from your amplifier into this, then you'd go out of here into the next speaker. That's important. OK, if we have a look down here, that there is known as a compression driver. That is the speaker that will do the high-pitched sounds. And then that is your bass driver. That's the one that will do the low and the mid.
2:42 What I'll do, I'll just wang that over
Okay, so what I'll do, I'll just wang that over. Now this is for all the techie people out there. Here we go. Power rating, 450 watts RMS. Now it says 900 watts maximum. Now that's basically just for a very short period of time. You do not want to start wanging a 900 watt amplifier on this because you could start getting into problems. A 15 inch woofer, 1.75 horn. 97 dB, that's the sensitivity, quite important. Also, maximum SPL, which is 123 dB. Impedance, 8 ohms. Did I say impedance? Impedance, sorry. Oh, I'm going to leave that in there, it's so funny. And frequency... Impedance, yeah. Sorry. Right, frequency range, 40 Hz. Now... That is your low. That's as low as it will go. That's like the bass sound, the booming drum and bass. And then you have 20kHz. That's known as kilohertz. That's the high pitch. And it says here, do not put this item in a dustbin. So there you go. There we go. That's what they're called. So the whole idea of this particular video is to open it up, show you what's inside so you don't have to.
