Description

The Electro-Voice®SxA360 high powered loudspeaker is a fully integrated audio system with carefully matched electronics and transducers. This product makes it easy to setup a high-quality sound system quickly with a minimum of cables and external electronics. It retains typical EV ruggedness, reliability and impeccable sound quality.

System Features - SxA360

·Two built-in power amplifiers, one for low frequencies and one for high frequencies. The amplifiers also contain electronic crossover circuitry and CD horn compensation optimized for the speaker components a well as a limiter circuit that prevents either amplifier from clipping while preserving the sonic quality.

·The low-frequency power amplifier delivers 350 watts continuous average power.

·The high-frequency power amplifier delivers 150 watts continuous average power.

·The line input utilizes Neutrik “combo” connectors, which will accept either ¼-inch or 3-pin XLR- type connectors.

·The separate line output is 3-pin XLR-type balanced, low-impedance output that can be used with long cable runs.

·The SxA360 two-way system is perfect for use as powered floor monitors.

System Setup

To get your SxA system into operation as quickly as possible, please observe the following steps and precautions.

·Plug the 3-terminal Powercon ac cable into a grounded line receptacle. Extension cords can be used to lengthen the ac cable as necessary but make sure that they are 3-conductor 14 gauge or greater, and that are properly grounded to avoid electrical hazards and extraneous noise.

·Be sure that the SxA system is plugged into an ac power source that is capable of supplying the correct voltage. If the line voltage drops too much, the built-in amplifiers won’t be able to develop their rated power and sound quality will suffer. Under high signal conditions, the SxA amplifier section can pull 3 – 4 amps of current (120 volt models) (2 amps at 240 volts). That means that no more than 4-SxA systems should be plugged into a single 15 amp electrical service. Be cautious of what else is plugged into the same electrical service line to avoid electrical problems and poor performance.

·BEFORE TURNING THE POWER ON, MAKE SURE THAT THE LEVEL CONTROLS ARE DOWN TO AVOID TRANSIENTS OR UNEXPECTED LOUD SOUND. Turn on the power switch and ensure that the system is receiving power by monitoring the status LED. If the system is receiving signal, the LED will illuminate green.

·The SxA360 loudspeaker has narrower coverage than other compact loudspeaker systems. Its narrower coverage will help you avoid room acoustics problems by delivering the sound where the speaker is aimed. You will find that precisely aiming the speakers at the audience area away from walls will give you better sound quality.
