Frequently Asked Questions

No, the SRM 1550 features a variable crossover that gives you more control over your sound without 
any external gear. Plus, if you’re using the SRM 1550 with SRM 350 or SRM 450 loudspeakers, there is a 
preset for each that dials in the perfect crossover settings.

Do I need a crossover to use the SRM 1550?

When set to VAR the crossover is variable from 60Hz to 120Hz. The SRM 350 and SRM 450 selections 
are fixed crossover points that are designed to complement those speakers.

What is the crossover frequency?

When the Limit light is flashing or on it means that the amplifier is being pushed a bit too hard. If you 
see this happening turn down the level control immediately until the Limit stops lighting.

What happens if the Limit light is turning on?

When setting up your SRM 1550 it is very important that you DO NOT connect it to the output of an 
amplifier. The inputs of the SRM 1550 are made for non-powered outputs such as the main or aux 
outputs from a mixer. The outputs of a power amplifier will easily damage and potentially cause a fire in 
just about any powered speaker.

Can I connect this to the speaker output of an amplifier?

The SRM 1550 powered subwoofer is a 15” compact, lightweight, high output subwoofer designed to 
be the portable low frequency compliment to the SRM 350 and 450 powered loudspeakers for both live 
sound and DJ applications. Because of this the SRM 1550 is not intended to be flown or mounted in any 
way. There is a pole cup on the top of the speaker to allow for a SPM 200/300 35mm subpole to mount 
your SRM 350 or 450 with the SRM 1550 as the base.

What is the proper method for flying or mounting the speaker?

The SRM 1550’s high pass outputs involve active circuitry, and sometimes emit a “pop” which can be 
amplified by connected powered speakers. When powering on your system, turn on the mixer, then the 
subs, then the full range loudspeakers. Do the reverse when powering off your system.

Is it normal for the speaker to “pop” when it is switched on or off?
