Coliseum Mini Series
C170P - Powered Speaker - 100w,
8 inch / 1 inch
The Coliseum Mini Series – specifically designed for
fixed installations. Years of experience with enclosure
design made it logical for Yorkville to create of a range
of speaker cabinets that have been specifically engi-
neered for installations. The knowledge gained while
developing the TX, élite, Pulse and Performance
enclosures helped yield a series of practical, yet
cost effective enclosures.
The C170P is a compact 100-watt powered
loudspeaker with an 8-inch woofer and 1-inch
Mylar tweeter. The enclosure is made from dura-
ble ABS plastic. Its trapezoidal shape makes the
C170P ideal for applications in tight locations and
it is shipped with a metal U-bracket for wall or
ceiling mounting. An optional pole mount adapter
(C170ADAPT) is also available for placing the
C170P on a speaker stand.
Features include both a ¼-inch TRS INPUT
jack and a ¼-inch AUX OUT jack for inter-con-
necting additional C170Ps. Controls include
GAIN, TONE and VOLUME. The ¼-inch TRS
LINE input can alternatively be used with a micro-
phone and the input sensitivity is switchable between
MIC and LINE levels.
Power LED and ON/OFF Switch
The LED illuminates when the C170P is connected
to the AC mains and switched on.
INPUT and AUX OUT jacks
The Input and Aux Out jacks are ¼-inch TRS phone
jacks and are balanced, however they are compat-
ible for use with unbalanced TS ¼-inch plugs as well.
Connect your line-level signal source here (mixer, CD/
tape player, laptop etc.).
As noted earlier, the Input can be used alternatively to
connect a microphone. If the microphone does not have a
¼-inch plug, you will require an adaptor (or adaptor cable
such as our PC-25XPS 25-ft with female XLR to ¼-inch
stereo connectors). This turns the C170P into a simple
and compact PA system. The Aux Out is wired in paral-
lel with the Input which permits connecting two or more
C170Ps together (it’s recommended to use balanced ¼-
inch TRS cables such as Yorkville’s PC-10ST or PC-20ST
(10ft or 20ft TRS to TRS).
Line/Mic Switch
Select Line when connecting a line-level signal source to
the Input, or select Mic when connecting a microphone.
Note: Do not connect speaker-level sources such as
an amplifier’s output to the INPUT.
GAIN Control
The Gain allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the
C170P’s Input preamp separately from the volume. When
starting out, set the gain around ‘5’ — then, re-adjust (as
needed) to maintain clarity with adequate volume.
Volume Control
The Volume control adjusts the overall loudness of the
C170P, depending on the Gain control setting. When start-
ing out, set the Volume low (while adjusting the GAIN as
above), then increase the Volume to the appropriate setting.
Tone Control
The Tone control adjusts the treble balance. Start out with
a center/neutral setting, and then turn clockwise for treble
emphasis or counter-clockwise to soften the treble response.
