Guided Tour

1:Input connector - Use this balanced female XLR connector to route line-level signal into the EX20.

2:Output VU meter - This three-segment bar meter shows the EX20 output level. For optimum signal-to-noise ratio, set the Volume control (see #6 below) so that program material is usually at or around 0 VU, with occasional but not steady excursions to the red “+3 dB” segment.

3:Power switch - Use this to turn power to the EX20 on or off.

4:Voltage selector - Make sure this is set correctly for the country you are in before turning on the power to the EX20.

5:Battery VU meter - If an optional RB 2030 rechargable battery pack is installed, this meter shows how much battery power remains as it is being charged (Power switch off) or depleted (Power switch on).

6:Volume control - This knob sets the level of the EX20’s built-in power amplifiers.

7:Output connector- This balanced male XLR connector carries line-level output signal from the EX20. It is used to send signal to a second EX20 being daisy-chained (see interconnection diagram on the following page) or to an optional EX500 subwoofer.

8:Limiter switch - Use this switch to turn the built-in limiter circuitry on or off. In order to maximize speaker protection, we recommend that this switch be left in the “on” position during normal operation.

9:AC output - A standard AC power outlet.

10:AC input - Connect the supplied heavy-gauge 3-pin “IEC” power cable here.

Interconnecting the EX20
