User manual PEAVEY IMPULSE 200P

[. . . ] Designed to complement any system, the Impulse® 500P Sub works especially well with its counterpart, the Impulse® 500P full range enclosure. The high pass filter/line output of the Sub provides a line level output to an external full range sound system. don't overlook the groundwork the Sub handles. The 600 watt peak dynamic internal amplifier internal amplifier belts out frequencies as low as 45 Hz ­ incredible for such a compact cabinet. [. . . ] The output level is not affected by the volume control on the Impulse 500P Subwoofer. The nominal polarity of these outputs is positive, and can be run directly into the Impulse 500P® for a nearly perfect mesh of the subwoofer with the full range unit. The polarity should also mesh with just about any other powered speaker or amplifier and speaker pair, as long as they observe industry standard polarities. In the event they do not, the balanced output can have pins two and three reversed with the use of an XLR or 1/4" phone cable that swaps these two pins at one end. This will reverse the polarity of the highs coming out of the high pass filtered output, and allow it to be used with equipment that might have polarity reversals. USE OF MULTIPLE IMPULSE 200P SUBWOOFER'S (or other Impulse® series powered products) The provision of multiple parallel high-impedance inputs allows the inputs of the Impulse 500P Subwoofer to be "daisy-chained" from one to the other. Run the first cable from the 6 Mixer to the first Impulse 500P Subwoofer, then hook a cable from one of the first Impulse 500P Subwoofer's inputs to the second Impulse 500P Subwoofer's input. This can be continued for several units, depending on how long the cables are, and the total capacitance of all the cables. With a low source impedance, such as a typical mixer output, and typical balanced cables, three or four Impulse 500P Subwoofer's can be daisy-chained from one output using 30- or 40- foot cables without obvious loss of high frequencies. USE WITH IMPULSE 200P AND A MICROPHONE When using the Impulse 500P Subwoofer with the Impulse 500P full range speaker system, and it is desired to use the Impulse 500P with a single microphone for karoke or PA announcements along with music, it is recommended that the microphone be connected directly to the Impulse 500P via the built-in mic input, instead of through a mixer microphone input and to the Impulse 500P Subwoofer's electronic crossover. While music will often benefit from the extra low end the subwoofer adds to the pairing, vocals do not maintain their clarity as well when additional bass output is added. If light dimmers are in use, then it may be necessary to turn them full on or full off to eliminate or reduce hum to tolerable levels. This is an AC wiring/light dimmer interference problem, and not the fault of the Impulse 500P Subwoofer. Distorted or Fuzzy Sound: First, make sure the mixer (or signal source) is not clipping or being overdriven. Cleaning Never clean the Impulse 500P Subwoofer while plugged in or turned on!When the unit has been fully disconnected from AC power sources, a slightly damp cloth can remove soil or other dirt. Never use strong solvents on the Impulse 500P Subwoofer, as they could attack the polymer that the cabinet is made from. Do not allow ANY fluids to drip inside the Impulse 500P Subwoofer!Touchup If the Impulse 500P Subwoofer cabinet should become scratched or abraded, it can be touched up using a black permanent marker. First, if the area to be touched up is larger than a short scratch, rub it lightly with an soapless plastic scrub pad. Wipe the scratched or abraded area a little at a time with the black permanent marker, and immediately wipe away the surplus with a lint-free cloth. For an overall finish enhancement and protective coating, use gloves to apply either WD-40® or Armour All® protectant to the surface of the plastic cabinet only. [. . . ] When the provided plug does not fit into your inlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Write for our free booklet "Shock Hazard and Grounding". Connect only to a power supply of the type marked on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point they exit from the apparatus. [. . . ]
