(J)CUSTOM FEATURES

ENHANCED EQ SWITCH

The ENHANCED EQ switch adjusts the contour of the overall frequency response and attenuates the mid-range frequencies which helps increase focus on the low and high frequencies while potentially reducing feedback. This feature is ideal for situations where an external mixer or EQ device is not available or playback only situations such as mobile DJ’s. It is recommended that users listen to their system with this switch both on or off to determine what is best for their needs.

VEGA BASS BOOST SWITCH

Engaging the VEGA BASS BOOST switch to ‘ON’ adds low frequency gain to the signal and dynamically adjusts the low- frequency response based on the speaker volume level. Leaving the switch ‘OFF’ and engaging the HIGH PASS FILTER is recommended when using the P1500X with a subwoofer. When using the P1500X with the P1800X subwoofer it is also recommended to engage the HPF THRU & LPF SUB switch on the P1800X for the best performance.

HIGH PASS FILTER SWITCH

When engaged to ‘ON’, the HIGH PASS FILTER (HPF) switch attenuates overall frequency output below 80Hz. This is recommended to reduce stage rumble when the speaker is used as a floor monitor or in situations where low frequencies need to be attenuated such as in combination with a subwoofer.

FRONT LIMITER LIGHT SWITCH

Setting the FRONT LIMITER LIGHT switch to ‘ON’ will enable the limiter indicator light on the front of the P1500X. This allows the user to see when the limiter is engaged in situations where it needs to be visible such as during a sound check.
