EX500 STEREO SUB WITH POWERED SATELLITES

Two EX500’s can be used with any pair of powered full range enclosures like the Samson EX20 and EX30. Below is a typical system set-up using two EX500’s with a mixer and a pair of powered satellite loudspeakers. The EX500’s inputs and outputs utilize industry standard XLR connectors. For a detailed wiring diagram, see the section EX500 Connections on page 12. Follow the steps below the diagram to set up your system.

•Connect the mixer’s left output to the left-side EX500’s left input and the mixer’s right output to the right-side EX500’s right input. Now connect the left- side EX500’s left output to the input of the left pow- ered satellite, and right-side EX500’s right output to the input of the right satellite. Switch both the Stereo/Mono selector switches to the Stereo posi- tion.

•Now adjust the crossover SWEEP to the desired fre- quency. For the Expedition EX20 & EX30 select 80- 100Hz. If you are using another brand of powered speaker as satellites with the EX500, consult their respective owners manuals for the recommended crossover point.

•Lower your mixer’s master outputs to all the way off. Now set the level of your powered satellites up to the normal operating level. Run an audio signal (like some music from a CD) through your mixer and raise the level to a comfortable listening volume. Now slowly raise the EX500 Level control and listen to the low frequency output. Adjust the EX500 to the level to low frequency output that you like. Now when you raise and lower your mixer’s output, the EX500 and satellites will track at the same relative volume.
