Protective Grill

The P1500X and P1800SX are shipped with the grill attached. It is recommended to leave the grill in place as it will prevent any accidental damage to the drivers that may result during transportation, setup and general use.

In the event that the grill needs to be removed, simply remove the hex-head screws around the edge of the grill. Remove the grill slowly to avoid damaging the gasket. When replacing the grill, be sure the gasket is in place and all fasteners are secured in tightly to prevent rattling during general use.

Remote Main Volume

The 3-pin terminal connector plug allows the P1500X or P1800SX main volume level to be controlled from a remote location through signal wires and an external device (not included). The signal wire passes only a voltage level and not the actual audio signal. A single device can control the main volume of multiple units when connected correctly. The potentiometer should be 10kOhm and specified to support numerous rotations as required for volume control use.

NOTE: Do not use the remote main volume connection for anything other than volume control through the external device. Failure to follow this warning may result in damage to the loudspeaker.
