[. . . ] PERFORMER SERIES Users manual Version 1. 0 March 2005 E1220 E1520 E1800X EUROLIVE ENGLISH EUROLIVE PERFORMER SERIES IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1) Read these instructions. 7) Be sure to mount your speakers on a solid, stable and level base or stand. Vibrating floors do not provide reliable support for speaker enclosures or stacks. 8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. [. . . ] CD players often produce extremely deep frequencies, which can lead to extreme excursions of the bass membrane. + Please keep in mind that when you switch the E1800X subwoofer to BI-AMPING mode, the input signal is routed to PINS 2-/2+. In this case, PINS 1-/1+ merely serve to loop the signal through! 3. SUBWOOFER OPERATING MODES 5 EUROLIVE PERFORMER SERIES 4. PIN ASSIGNMENT 6XEZRRIHU (; PINS 1-/1+ PINS 2-/2+ 5. 3. 1 Protecting your equipment s s s Always try to find the optimal signal level. Keep in mind the physical limitations of your PA system. Use a limiter to restrict the output signal level. Place the limiter between the mixing console and the power amp. For this purpose, our proven AUTOCOM PRO-XL MDX1600, COMPOSER PRO-XL MDX2600 and MULTICOM PRO-XL MDX4600 compressors offer an outstanding solution. All models can be used as a limiter: the audio signal doesnt overdrive any more, and unpleasant peaks are effectively avoided. Our ULTRADRIVE PRO DCX2496 and SUPER-X CX3400/ CX2310 crossovers are particularly well-suited for protecting your equipment: for each output, they have independent limiters. 3$66, 9( %, $03, 1* INPUT: Full-range input OUTPUT: high-pass output Signal loop Table 4. 1: Pin assignment Signal loop Subwoofer input + 4. 1 Subwoofer (PASSIVE) s Feed the full-range signal to the input PINS 1-/1+. The highpass signal can be tapped into at the output PINS 1-/1+. PINS 2-/2+ serve as a signal loop through. 4. 2 Subwoofer (BI-AMPING) s s s Connect the subwoofer signal to PINS 2-/2+. PINS 1-/1+ of the input are connected to PINS 1-/1+ of the output, and can be used to loop the signal through. In general, when in BI-AMPING mode, PINS 1-/1+ and PINS 2-/2+ are looped through. 6. APPLICATION EXAMPLES 6. 1 Full-range stereo operation In the following example, the main stereo output signal of a mixing console is connected to a stereo power amplifier. A E1220 PRO is connected to each of the amp outputs, and these speakers reproduce the entire frequency range (full range). 5. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS 5. 1 Length and diameter of loudspeaker cables Loudspeaker cables whose diameter is too small can considerably limit the power amp performance. The longer the cable, the more pronounced the problem. As a result, musicians often simply turn up the amp, which can lead to loudspeaker damage. Therefore, dont use cables longer than 15 m (45 ft. ). For most applications, this will not be necessary. Cable diameter should be at least 2. 5 - 4. 0 mm2. 5. 2 Power amp rating Selecting the right amp can turn out to be rather difficult.
