Each XP Series Loudspeaker cabinet
is equipped with two 1/4" jacks.
These standard phone jacks are wired
in parallel, allowing either one to be
used as the input; the other jack can
then be used as output to an addition-
al speaker cabinet in a "daisy-chain"
connection scheme. Fig. A illustrates
the XP system “daisy-chained” with
Fender 115sA or 118sA Sub-woofers.
Avoid damage to your equipment by
ensuring that the total speaker
impedance load is within the limits set
by the amplifier’s manufacturer.
XP
Series Speakers have an
impedance of 8
Ω. Listed below are the combined
impedance loads of the XP Series loudspeaker
connected in parallel with speakers of 4
Ω, 8Ω and
16
Ω ratings:
• XP Series 8
Ω + any 4Ω speaker = 2.6Ω load total
• XP Series 8
Ω + any 8Ω speaker = 4Ω load total
• XP Series 8
Ω + any 16Ω speaker = 5.3Ω load total
Using the recommend-
ed speaker impedance
load ensures optimum
efficiency and signal
response. The total
impedance load of a
“daisy-chain” scheme
can be adjusted by
using speakers of differ-
ent impedances. One of
the results of mixing
speaker impedances
though, is that any
speakers with lower
impedance ratings will
have a higher power
consumption and output. For example, the power
use/output of a 2
Ω speaker will be twice that of a
4
Ω speaker and 4 times that of a 8Ω speaker.
Consider this when positioning speakers linked in a
“daisy-chain.”

The Fender® 110XP, 112XP, and 115XP two-way,
professional quality loudspeaker systems are
designed to form the basis of everything from a
public address system permanently installed, to
the nightly rigors of a working band’s portable
sound system. Add ultra-deep bass to the your XP
Series Loudspeaker System with a Fender 115sA
or 118sA Subwoofer Loudspeaker System.
Features of XP Artist Series Loudspeakers:
• Great fidelity using a trapezoidal cabinet design
• Moisture sealed 5/8” particle board cabinet
• Pole-mount sockets
• Two high-current, 1/4” phone jacks to enable
“daisy-chain” cabinet linking
• Dual piezoelectric compression drivers
• Silver grill cloth
• Metal corner protectors and glide feet
• Genuine Tolex® cabinet covering
• Compact and portable
• CAUTION: Speakers produce magnetic fields
which may interfere with the operation of near-
by electronic devices such as televisions and
computers. Increase the distance between
speakers and electronic devices to reduce inter-
ference.
• WARNING: Fender loudspeaker systems are
capable of producing very high sound pressure
levels which may cause temporary or perma-
nent hearing damage. Use care when setting
and adjusting volume levels during use..
• No user serviceable part inside, refer servicing
to qualified personnel only.
