SxA360 high powered loudspeaker is a fully integrated audio system with
carefully matched electronics and transducers. This product makes it easy to setup a high-quality
sound system quickly with a minimum of cables and external electronics. It retains typical EV
ruggedness, reliability and impeccable sound quality.
System Features - SxA360
• Two built-in power amplifiers, one for low frequencies and one for high frequencies. The amplifiers
also contain electronic crossover circuitry and CD horn compensation optimized for the speaker
components a well as a limiter circuit that prevents either amplifier from clipping while preserving
the sonic quality.
• The low-frequency power amplifier delivers 350 watts continuous average power.
• The high-frequency power amplifier delivers 150 watts continuous average power.
• The line input utilizes Neutrik “combo” connectors, which will accept either 1⁄4-inch or 3-pin XLR-
type connectors.
• The SxA360 two-way system is perfect for use as powered floor monitors.
System Setup
To get your SxA system into operation as quickly as possible, please observe the following steps
and precautions.
• Plug the 3-terminal Powercon ac cable into a grounded line receptacle. Extension cords can be
used to lengthen the ac cable as necessary but make sure that they are 3-conductor 14 gauge or
greater, and that are properly grounded to avoid electrical hazards and extraneous noise.
• Be sure that the SxA system is plugged into an ac power source that is capable of supplying the
correct voltage. If the line voltage drops too much, the built-in amplifiers won‘t be able to develop
their rated power and sound quality will suffer. Under high signal conditions, the SxA amplifier
section can pull 3 - 4 amps of current if used in a 100 - 120V mains environment respectively 2
amps at 220V - 240V mains. Be cautious of what else is plugged into the same electrical service
line to avoid electrical problems and poor performance.
• BEFORE TURNING THE POWER ON, MAKE SURE THAT THE LEVEL CONTROLS ARE DOWN
TO AVOID TRANSIENTS OR UNEXPECTED LOUD SOUND. Turn on the power switch and ensure
that the system is receiving power by monitoring the signal LED. If the system is receiving signal,
the LED will illuminate green.
• The SxA360 loudspeaker has narrower coverage than other compact loudspeaker systems. Its
narrower coverage will help you avoid room acoustics problems by delivering the sound where the
speaker is aimed. You will find that precisely aiming the speakers at the audience area away from
walls will give you better sound quality.
Caution: For trouble - free operation exceeding a maximum ambient temperature of +40°C
is not permissible.
