EX500 MONO SUB WITH PASSIVE SATELLITES

If your system uses a standard stereo power amp and passive full range enclosures, like the Samson EX10, the EX500 is easily interfaced for extended bass. Below is a typical system set-up using the EX500 with a mixer, stereo power amp and a pair of passive 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 1. Follow the steps below the diagram to set up your system.

•Lower your mixer’s master outputs to all the way off.

•Connect the mixer’s left output to the EX500’s left input and the mixer’s right output to the EX500’s right input. Now connect the EX500’s left outputs to the left side input of your power amp, and EX500’s right output to the right side input of your power amp. Run your speaker cables from the power amp’s outputs to the left and right satellite speakers. Switch the Stereo/Mono

selector switch to the MONO position.

•Now adjust the crossover SWEEP to the desired frequency. 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 recom- mended crossover point.

•Set the level of your power amplifiers 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 of low frequen- cy 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.
