Please take time to consult this manual to understand all the features built into your Electro-Voice system and fully utilize its performance capabilities. Clear, powerful and musical Electro-Voice loudspeakers command the stage at high-profile venues and major events worldwide. Born stage-ready, the Live X series includes powered and passive models that all feature EV-engineered components in solid wood cabinets. Wherever performance matters, Live X is serious gear for serious sound. Quick Setup The Electro-Voice Live X powered loudspeakers are fully integrated audio systems with carefully matched electronics and transducers. These products make it easy to setup a high quality sound system quickly with a minimum amount of cables and external electronics. To get the Live X loudspeaker into operation as quickly as possible, please observe the following steps: Step 1. Turn INPUT LEVEL and LOUDSPEAKER LEVEL to -. The level control affects the volume of both Input 1 and Input 2. To prevent distortion and clipping, the control should generally be set to a value between 0dB and +6dB. Loudspeaker level control does not affect the level of the link output connector. LIMIT The LED lights up when the loudspeaker is operated at its limit. Short-term blinking is uncritical, because the integrated limiter keeps distortion under control. Constant lighting of the LED indicates that the sound is negatively affected. Reduce LOUDSPEAKER LEVEL or INPUT LEVEL knobs to prevent limit. INPUT SELECT XLR/TRS 1 allows the signal from XLR/TRS Input 1 to pass to LINK OUTPUT. INPUT 1 LEVEL does not affect the level of LINK OUTPUT. The signal from RCA INPUT is not passed to LINK OUTPUT. 1+2 allows the loudspeaker to act as a basic two-channel mixer that can send the mix to another loudspeaker via the LINK OUTPUT connector. [. . . ] Connect the test speaker in parallel with the malfunctioning line. If the sound level has gone or is very weak, the line has a short in it (possibly a severe scrape, pinch, or staple puncture). If the sound level is normal, the wire is open (possibly a cut wire or a missed connection). Using the test speaker, move down the line and test each connection/junction until you find the problem and correct it. [. . . ]
