1.2 Application 

The ASCENDO Loudspeaker System ZF-3 is intended for use in small to mid-size rooms 
(< 100 m³, see section 2.1). 
You can use the System M with amplifier in the power range of 10 W to 350 W. 

1.3 Safety 

Warning 

 

 

 

 

Warning 

 

 

This Loudspeaker can produce big sound-levels. This may damage your ears 
permanently! 

1.4 Operating 

modes 

You can use the System ZF-3 in a single-amp setup (one power amplifier for high- 

and low-frequency unit) or in a bi-amp setup (one power amplifier for the low-

frequency-unit, one for the high-frequency unit) or in a tri-amp setup (one power 
amplifier for the low-frequency-chassis, one for the middle-frequency chassis, one for 

the high-frequency unit).  
If your setup is single-amping you must bridge the high- and low-frequency unit with 

a high quality speaker cable.
