Frequently Asked Questions - TD 1000 RCF

What is the recommended amplifier for passive use?

This is an active speaker, so no external amplifier is needed. The built-in amplifier provides sufficient power.

Can I connect the TD 1000 to a mixing console?

Yes, use balanced XLR cables from the console's main outputs to the speaker's XLR input.

What is the maximum operating temperature?

The speaker can operate in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). Avoid direct sunlight.

How do I clean the grille?

Use a soft brush or vacuum with a brush attachment. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap and dry immediately.

Can I mount the speaker on a stand?

Yes, it has a standard 35 mm pole mount socket. Ensure the stand capacity is at least 22 kg.

What do I do if there is no sound?

Check power, signal cables, and volume control. Ensure the speaker is not muted. Try resetting by power cycling.

Are there any DSP presets?

Yes, the speaker includes presets for different applications like music, speech, and monitor mode. Access via the rear panel control.

Is the TD 1000 suitable for outdoor use?

It is not weatherproof. Use a cover if used outdoors and avoid rain or direct moisture.

What type of warranty does RCF provide?

RCF offers a 2-year warranty for manufacturing defects. Check with your dealer for exact terms.

Can I daisy-chain multiple speakers?

Yes, use the XLR link output to connect additional active speakers. Ensure total load does not exceed power limitations.

IMPORTANTE

Before connecting and using this product, please read this instruction manual carefully and keep it on hand for future reference. The manual is to be considered an integral part of this product and must accompany it when it changes ownership as a reference for correct installation and use as well as for the safety precautions.

RCF S.p.A. will not assume any responsibility for the incorrect installation and / or use of this product.

WARNING: To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, never expose transformers to rain or humidity.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. All the precautions, in particular the safety ones, must be read with special attention, as they provide important information.
2. Loudspeaker lines (transformer outputs) can have a sufficiently high voltage (100 V) to involve a risk of electrocution: complete the installation and transformer connections before turning amplifiers on.
3. Make sure all connections have been made correctly, verifying that the line voltage matches loudspeaker specifications.
4. Protect loudspeaker lines from damage; make sure they are positioned in a way that they cannot be stepped on or crushed by objects.
5. Make sure that no objects or liquids can get into the RT 2006 rack drawer, as this may cause a short circuit and damage transformers.
6. Never attempt to carry out any modifications or repairs on transformers.

Contact your authorized service centre or qualified personnel should any of the following occur:

• A transformer does not function (or works in an anomalous way).
- Objects or liquids have got into a transformer.
• A transformer has been damaged due to heavy impacts or fire.

1. Should one or more transformers emit any strange odours or smoke, turn all relevant amplifiers off immediately and remove all connections.
2. Do not connect to transformers any equipment or accessories not foreseen. About the installation, use only the dedicated points for transformers without adding components that are unsuitable or not specific for this purpose.
3. RCF S.p.A. strongly recommends these product are only installed by professional qualified installers (or specialised firms) who can ensure a correct installation and certify it according to the regulations in force.

The entire audio system shall comply with the current standards and regulations regarding electrical systems.

1. There are numerous mechanical and electrical factors to be considered when installing a professional audio system (in addition to those which are strictly acoustic, such as sound pressure, angles of coverage, frequency response, etc.).

11. Hearing loss

Exposure to high sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. The acoustic pressure level that leads to hearing loss is different from person to person and depends on the duration of exposure. To prevent potentially dangerous exposure to high levels of acoustic pressure, anyone who is exposed to these levels should use adequate protection devices. When a transducer capable of producing high sound levels is being used, it is therefore necessary to wear ear plugs or protective earphones.

1. To ensure a correct musical reproduction, loudspeaker phase is to be respected (loudspeakers are connected respecting the amplifier polarity). This is important when loudspeakers are installed adjacent one another, for instance, in the same room.
2. To prevent inductive effects from causing hum, noise and a bad system working, loudspeaker lines should not be laid together with other electric cables (mains), microphone or line level signal cables connected to amplifier inputs.
3. Cables connected to transformers shall have wires with a suitable section (twisted, if possible, to reduce inductive effects due to surrounding electro-magnetic fields) and a sufficient electrical insulation.

Refer to local regulations since there may be additional requirements about cable characteristics.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

• Install the RT 2006 rack drawer with transformers far from any heat source.
• Do not overload transformers.
- Do not use solvents, alcohol, benzene or other volatile substances to clean external parts.

RCF S.p.A. would like to thank you for purchasing this product, which has been designed to guarantee reliability and high performance.

TD 300, TD 500, TD 1000 TOROIDAL TRANSFORMER DESCRIPTION

TD 300, TD 500, TD 1000 toroidal transformers convert RCF pro audio amplifier outputs (for 4 Ω impedance loads) into 100V constant voltage lines.

Every transformer can be housed into RT 2006 rack drawers with the relevant available kit.

Transformer wires have terminals for the direct connection to printed circuit boards of RT 2006 rack drawers.

Every transformer has a thermal detection circuit inside.

Too high temperature can be remotely signalled.

The available nominal powers are: 300 W (TD 300), 500 W (TD 500), 1000 W (TD 1000).

CONFIGURATIONS

Examples of maximum possible configurations:

NOTE: the sum of nominal powers of all transformers housed into a single RT 2006 rack drawer shall not exceed 2000 W.

TRANSFORMER INSTALLATION

Fix each transformer to the RT 2006 rack drawer base by using the specific bolt and inserting the two rubber washers and the metal cap.

INTERNAL LINKS:

TRANSFORMERS – RT 2006 PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD

NOTE: in this example, we assume that the amplifier output is on pin 1+ (positive) e pin 1- (negative) of the SPEAKON connector (usually in stereo / mono mode). Yet, other pin configurations are possible and usually foreseen for the "bridge" mode, i.e. 2+ 2- or 1+ 2+, therefore please always refer to the user manuals of the used amplifiers.
The amplifier “bridge” mode shall not be used if its minimum impedance load is higher than 4 Ω (input impedance of TD 300 - TD 500 - TD 1000 transformers).

TRANSFORMER THERMAL DETECTION CIRCUIT DRY CONTACT

graph TD
    A["Yellow"] --> B["Yellow"]
    B --> C["Yellow"]

If a transformer temperature is too high (temp. > 90°C / 194°F), its thermal detection circuit n.c. contact (yellow wires) will get open. Note: the thermal detection circuit does NOT automatically turn the transformer off.
