MASTER

49. MAIN INSERTS

Stereo phone jacks for the left and the right channels with breaker function. The low impedance output is assigned to the tip (send) and the high impedance input (return) is assigned to the ring of the connector. This jack allows the connection of external EQs, compressors, limiters, etc. into the master L/R signal path. The insertion point is pre-master faders. As with the inserts of the monaural input channels, different DIRECT OUT functions can be accomplished.

Please, also refer to the corresponding section in the description of the MONO INPUTS.

50. MAIN OUTPUTS

The signals at the MAIN OUTPUTS are post master fader and mainly meant to feed additional, external power amplifiers. Through these outputs, it is also possible to run a two-way active system set-up. In this case, the active crossovers – or active subwoofers have to be connected to the MAIN OUTPUTS. If you want to use the internal power amplifier to supply the high frequency cabinets, the high-frequency signal coming from the crossover has to be run back into the PSX via the POWER AMP INPUTS.

51. EQ INPUTS / OUTPUTS

The EQ INPUTS are provided through electronically balanced phone jacks with breaker function. When inserting a phone plug, the signal path is interrupted between the master L/R controls and the internal power amplifier. The EQ INPUTS and POWER AMP INPUTS are the only active inputs for the internal power amplifier.

The signals at the EQ OUTPUTS are post-master fader and post the internal 7-band equalizers. Likewise, the MAIN OUTPUTS can be used for connecting external devices.

52. POWER AMP INPUTS

The POWER AMP INPUTS are also provided via electronically balanced phone jacks with breaker function. When inserting a phone plug, the signal path is split between the master and the internal power amplifier. The POWER AMP INPUTS are then the only active inputs for the internal power amplifier.

NOTE: For detailed information on the function and operation of the “MASTER PATCHBAY” – MAIN INSERTS, MAIN OUTPUTS, EQ IN/OUTPUTS, and POWER AMP INPUTS – please refer to the corresponding section; later in this owner’s manual.

53. FX1/2 FOOTSW.

Phone jack for the connection of the foot switch or other compatible unit, to switch the internal FX units on or off.

To accomplish this function, the switches FX1 and FX2 have to be engaged.

54. LAMP

This XLR-type socket provides a DC voltage of 12V /2.4 watts and is meant for the connection of a gooseneck lamp. Please make sure that the lamp used complies with the specifications and pin assignment. shown here. CAUTION: Overload or short circuits can result from damaging this output. To prevent this from happening, we recommend the use of a Littlelite gooseneck lamp, available from

PSX1600, PSX1000, PSX2200 specifications

Electro-Voice, a prominent name in professional audio equipment, has developed a series of high-performance power amplifiers known as the PSX series, which includes the PSX2200, PSX1000, and PSX1600 models. These amplifiers are engineered to deliver exceptional power, clarity, and reliability, making them suitable for a variety of applications such as live sound, installations, and portable use.

The PSX2200 is the most powerful model in the PSX lineup, offering a robust output of 2,200 watts at 4 ohms. This amplifier is designed to handle demanding audio environments, providing headroom and performance necessary for large audiences. One of its key features is the Peak х-Over Limiting technology, which ensures that the amplifier delivers maximum power without distortion during peak performance. Additionally, the PSX2200 is equipped with built-in high-pass and low-pass filters, allowing users to tailor the sound to their specific needs.

The PSX1000 represents a mid-range option that still packs a punch, delivering 1,000 watts at 4 ohms. It is designed for versatility, making it ideal for a range of sound reinforcement applications. One standout feature of the PSX1000 is its Intelligent Clip Limiting system, which automatically adjusts the input signal to prevent clipping and maintain audio clarity. Moreover, the amplifier features a rugged chassis and intuitive interface, which enhances both durability and ease of use in various settings.

The PSX1600 serves as a bridge between the PSX1000 and PSX2200, offering 1,600 watts at 4 ohms. It incorporates advanced thermal management technology, ensuring stable performance even under demanding conditions. The PSX1600 is engineered for reliability, featuring extensive protection circuitry that safeguards against issues like over-temperature, short circuits, and signal overloads. This amplifier is particularly favored for its ability to maintain sound quality during prolonged use.

All three models in the PSX series share common characteristics such as a lightweight design, durable construction, and efficient power supply systems, making them highly portable and easy to integrate into existing sound systems. The PSX amplifiers are also equipped with comprehensive monitoring capabilities, including LED indicators that provide visual feedback on power and operational status.

In summary, the Electro-Voice PSX2200, PSX1000, and PSX1600 represent a powerful trio of amplifiers that offer versatility and reliability for professional audio applications. With their advanced technologies, user-friendly features, and impressive performance specifications, these amplifiers are well-suited to meet the demands of sound engineers and audio professionals alike.
