OPERATION

1.Plug the AC cord into a grounded outlet (120 VAC, 60 Hz in North America, 220 - 240 VAC, 50 Hz in export models). Switch the PS210PX's POWER switch OFF (for now).

2a. If you are using the (line-level) Main output from your mixer to drive the PS210PX's inputs, connect it to only one of the PARALLEL INPUT connectors with a shielded patch cord (eg.Yorkville model PC-6) or, if the mixer output is balanced, with a balanced shielded patch cord (eg. Yorkville model PC-6ST 1/4" TRS to 1/4" TRS, or PC-6XPMS 1/4" TRS to male XLR). Now make sure that the LINE/SPEAKER pushbutton is up in the LINE position.

2b. If you are connecting the PS210PX as if it were an extension speaker - i.e. to the SPEAKER output of a mixer/amplifier - plug a speaker cable into one of the 1/4" INPUT connectors. Make sure that the LINE/SPEAKER pushbuttton is in the SPEAKER position. Finally, set the SUBWOOFER AMPLIFIER dB LEVEL control to "0".

2c. If you have a stereo source, whether it is a mixer or an amplifier, connect only one output to the PS210PX (left or right). This will prevent phase cancellations.

3.To connect a second PS210PX, or another powered subwoofer, run the appropriate type of cable, patch or speaker-type, from one of the remaining INPUT connectors to the input of the another powered subwoofer. Be careful not to connect speaker-level signals to the input of a powered woofer which is not designed to take them, and if you are connecting another PS210PX this way, make sure that its pushbutton is also in the LINE position. You can also connect an unpowered subwoofers if you are driving the PS210PX from the SPEAKER output of a mixer/amplifier. Just run a speaker cable from the remaining 1/4" INPUT to the unpowered subwoofer. Now, that one will be powered by the mixer/amp and the PS210PX powering its own woofers (the PS210PX simply acts

as a convenient "Y" adapter so that you don't have to run a separate speaker cable from the mixer/amp to the unpowered

subwoofer.

4. To power-up full range speakers, simply run speaker cables from the PS210PX SATELLITE POWER AMP outputs to the cabinets (no more than two 8-0hm cabinets or one 4- ohm cabinet). Now set the

SWITCHABLE CROSSOVER FREQUENCY selector to the

appropriate position (see 3. Switchable CROSSOVER FREQUENCY selector in the FEATURES section. Finally, set the SATELLITE AMPLIFIER dB LEVEL control to "0dB".

5.Switch on the POWER, and with music playing through the system, adjust the two dB LEVEL controls for the desired mix of subwoofer and full- range sound. Remember that the subwoofer volume may not increase greatly at settings above 0dB due to the limiter (see INTERNAL SUBWOOFER LIMITER and AUTOMATIC EQUALIZATION in the FEATURES section).

IN CASE OF FEEDBACK

In case of low-frequency feedback when the mixer/amp or power amp is shut down:

The following applies where the PS210PX, in SPEAKER LEVEL mode, and full-range speakers are interconnected to the PA amplifier and that amplifier has been switched off, but the PS210PX left on.

With no power available at its inputs from the PA amplifier, the PS210PX can receive random signals in its PARALLEL THRU jacks generated by the full- range enclosure's woofers responding to room sounds (remember that every speaker is like a dynamic microphone). If the PS210PX is powered up and turned up high, it can see these signals as input signals and amplify them creating a possible feedback loop with the full-range woofers.

Solutions: If you are in the habit of switching your power off between sets, it is advisable to switch the PS210PX off as well, or turn down its LEVEL control. Alternatively you might re-wire so that the PS210PX is driven by line-level signals. Any one of these measures will avoid the above feedback potential.
