5. LINK Jacks
The Link jacks are
set up to make it
easy to hook up
your LS800P to any
audio system with
a minimum of
hassles. SInce all of
the Link jacks are
connected in
parallel, you can
use them to daisy-
chain other
LS800Ps or full
range enclosures.
Note: the Mono
Blend Input is
intended for Line
Level signals
only!)
For normal operation, connect the LS800P
just like an ordinary speaker along with the full
range enclosures. Set the Input Level switch to
Speaker if the signal is coming directly from a
power amplifier, ‘powered’ mixer, or other
powered source. If the LS800P is receiving the
signal from a
non-powered
mixer, a line level
signal processor (as in an equalizer) or
another line-level source, set the input switch
to Line.
The LS800P may be plugged in before or
after the full range enclosure. The LS800P
does not alter the signal to the daisy chained
enclosures and will not draw any power from
the host amplifier/processor driving them.
Also, note that an external crossover is not
necessary when using the LS800P.
As well as accommodating full range
enclosures
,
the Link jacks allow many LS800Ps
to be connected
in a string
(parallel). There is
no practical limit
to the number of
LS800Ps that may
be connected
together.
6. Mono Blend
Input Jack
The Mono Blend
Input jack enables
you to connect a
secondary line
level signal to the
system without
externally summing
the two signals
(e.g. Left and
Right). This is helpful
when you are
adding a single LS800P to a stereo system. By
using this input for your secondary signal, it is
blended internally with the Link input but
isolated to prevent interaction of those signals.
7. Protection
The LS800P has circuitry to prevent clipping,
over current and over excursion. At high
levels the limiter will limit the gain of the
LS800P and hence if the user attempts to set
the subwoofer level control at a high level,
the resulting setting will be incorrect. The
level control should be set while operating at
low levels (under 10 watts). If the level
control is set too high due to setting it at high
operating levels the input circuit will clip and
the dynamics of the bass will be lost. The Red
Clip indicator will signify when this occurs.
This can happen without audible distortion
since the filters will filter out the distortion.
AT HIGH POWER LEVELS WHEN THE LIMITER IS OPERATING INCREASING THE SUBWOOFER LEVEL CONTROL WILL NOT
INCREASE THE OUTPUT. DO NOT INCREASE SETTING WHILE OPERATING AT HIGH LEVELS.

Note:
The LS800P built-in stand mounting adapter can be used with
Yorkville
SW-Teletube accessory to support our
E160
cabinets. The support tube can be adusted up to it’s full 5’4” extension safely as long as the LS800P is
not
inclined more than 10˚ (10 degrees).
WARNING:
Larger or heavier cabinets
should not be used!
