INTRODUCTION
The PULSE model PS210PX is a compact powered subwoofer with a 300-watt amplifier for the dual 10-
inch high-performance woofers built-in, plus an additional 300-watt amplifier to power full-range speakers.
Quick and easy setups are facilitated with features such as a LINE/SPEAKER pushbutton which enables you
to drive the PS210PX's inputs with either LINE level signal (i.e. from a mixer's MAIN LINE output), or with
a SPEAKER level output signal, directly from an amplifier or a powered mixer. Also, the inputs are balanced
so that noise cancellation will be optimized when a balanced line-level source is connected; however an
unbalanced line-level source may also be connected, without need for special adjustments or cable
adapters. An internal electronic crossover is also provided along with a 3-position CROSSOVER
FREQUENCY switch as well as LEVEL controls for both the PS210PX and the SATELLITE amplifiers.
FEATURES
1. SATELLITE POWER AMPLIFIER OUTPUTS
These are for powering your full-range enclosures.
The SATELLITE power amplifier (like the
SUBWOOFER's amp) is mono, therefore these are
parallel outputs. The minimum overall load rating
is 4-ohms. So, be sure that you connect no more
than two 8-ohm enclosures or one 4-ohm
enclosure to the PS210PX.
2. POWER SWITCH, FUSE & LED
The POWER switch and FUSE are located on the
left side of the back panel. Always replace the fuse
with the same type (5A slo-blo in North America,
T2, 5A in Europe). The POWER LED is on the
right-side of the back panel, just above the
SWITCHABLE CROSSOVER FREQUENCY selector.
3.SWITCHABLE X-OVER FREQ. SELECTOR
The PS210PX features an electronic crossover with
a switchable High-Pass filter for your full-range
speaker cabinets as well as a Low-Pass filter for the
SUBWOOFER. It also has three selectable crossover
points to choose according to the size and
response of the woofer/s in your full range
enclosures. Set this switch as follows:
TOP POSITION 80Hz
for use with the PULSE P-15, PL315, or other
enclosures with 15" woofers.
MID POSITION 110Hz
for use with the PULSE P-12, PL12, or other
enclosures with 12" woofers.
BOTTOM POSITION 150Hz
for use with the PULSE P-10 , PL10 or other
enclosures with 10" woofers.
Note: The top position will allow the
satellite to produce a full-range response
with only subsonic filtering.
4. SATELLITE AMPLIFIER & POWERED
SUBWOOFER DB LEVEL CONTROLS
The SATELLITE AMPLIFIER dB LEVEL control
regulates the volume of your full-range enclosures
while the SUBWOOFER dB LEVEL control
regulates the PS210PX's volume. Set these controls
for the desired overall volume level. In order to
approximate subwoofer/full-range unity gain, set
both controls at 0dB. At high operating levels, the
subwoofer and satellite power amplifiers will be
regulated by a limiter. As a result you may find
that increasing the SUBWOOFER dB LEVEL
control well above the 0dB setting will have little
effect. This is normal, and simply means that
maximum, undistorted, subwoofer volume has
been achieved.
