Axon-12x3
Setup
The Axon-12x3 is designed for vertical operation. A variety of accessories is available from TENNAX to securely
attach the loudspeaker safely on tripods, distance rods or hanging it from on trusses, ceilings and walls. Ensure
that the loudspeakers are securely attached to prevent personal injury and damage of property.
Connecting cables
When connecting the cables to the loudspeaker, ensure that the polarity (+/-) and pin assignment (1/2) is
correct. Incorrect connection results in a significant change in the loudspeaker sound characteristics and may
damage the compression driver.
The two connection sockets on the back of the loudspeaker can be used to link multiple loudspeakers on a
single amplifier. Note that parallel connection reduces the total impedance (Ω) seen by the amplifier. The total
impedance of loudspeakers connected in parallel must not drop below the minimum operating impedance of the
amplifier.
TENNAX recommends to use the available 4 x 4 mm² Speakon cables for mobile use.
We recommend wiring the basses with at least 4 mm² in installations. The cables of the tops in installations
must be sufficiently dimensioned according to impedance, power and cable length.

Operation
TENNAX loudspeakers can be driven by standard linear amplifiers.
For optimal performance, we recommend using the system amplifiers and presets provided by TENNAX.
Be sure to select the appropriate preset before connecting the speaker to the system amplifier or self-powered
subwoofer.
Operation with an incorrect preset may damage parts of the speaker.
