Introduction

The Yorkville éXcursion 2000 is the ultimate all-in- one complete PA system for live sound or mobile DJ applications. The system includes one 18-inch high efficiency subwoofer and two specially optimized satellite speaker enclosures. The éXcursion 2000’s active crossover network and three amplifiers are conveniently housed in the subwoofer enclosure. The Class D and two 3-tier Class A/B amplifiers ensure ultra quiet operation, low distortion and a high SPL output. This is not a system that’s been hastily put together; the éXcursion 2000 was designed as a complete solution. The system assembles into an integrated package

to make it easier for transportation and storage. The éXcursion 2000 was designed for the road.

The éXcursion 2000 can be used as a single system (subwoofer with two satellites) or as a dual system using two éXcursion 2000 systems. When the éXcursion 2000 is used in a dual system configuration, each system behaves as individual channels. The dual-system configuration allows the use of the two satellite speakers on each side of the stage that can be positioned for greater dispersion. The éXcursion 2000 subwoofer has a pole-mount adapter built-in to eliminate the necessity of using two speaker stands. See your Yorkville dealer for information on the variety of poles and stands available.

1. Input Jacks

i. Left & Right Input Jacks

The input jacks of the éXcursion 2000 are designed for operation with line-level signals. The XLR and balanced ¼-inch TRS jacks are wired in parallel, functionally identical except for the style of connector.

Note: The required input level for full power operation, when the Level controls are set to the center detent position, is approximately +4 dBv (1.2 volts). Increasing this setting allows the éXcursion 2000 to be driven with sources that have a low signal level.Connecting signals to both types of inputs on any one channel (XLR and ¼-inch) is not recommended.

ii. Aux Bal Subwoofer In Jack

This balanced input allows the subwoofer to be fed from a separate signal source, other than the signals being fed to the Left and Right amplifiers. This feature allows the subwoofer to be mixed separately from the Left and Right signals.

iii. Mono/Stereo Switch

In Stereo mode, the éXcursion 2000 routes the two signals from the left and right inputs to the corresponding satellite enclosures. If an individual signal is sent to the éXcursion 2000, in either the left or right channel, enabling the Mono mode will route the signal to both satellite enclosures. If a stereo signal is used, both the left and right will be summed when the Mono mode is selected.

Note: Mono operation (using a single source) will require setting the applicable level control at a higher level.

2. Level Controls

i. Left & Right Level Controls

The Left and Right Level controls adjust the output level of the corresponding satellite enclosures. Adjustments can be made to alter the balance of the satellites, compensate for signal sources that are not the standard +4 dBv line level or to tweak the SPL levels appropriate to the application. The Left Level and Right Level are normally set to the center detent.
