180 Woofer System Setup
To get your woofer system into operation as quickly as possible, please observe the following
steps and precautions:
·
Plug the 3-terminal IEC 16-gauge ac cable into a grounded line receptacle. Extension
cords can be used as necessary but make sure that they are the 3-conductor type that are
14 gauge or greater, and are properly grounded to avoid electrical hazards and
extraneous noise.
·
Turn on the power switch and ensure that the system is receiving power by monitoring the
status LED power on. MAKE SURE THAT THE LEVEL CONTROLS ARE TURNED
DOWN TO AVOID TRANSIENTS OR UNEXPECTED LOUD SOUND.
·
Attach a 3-pin XLR cable to the line-level input from a line-level output on your mixer.
·
If you are using the
Sx
A
180 with an
Sx
A
two-way system, you will want to use the high-
pass output to run the signal from the
Sx
A
180 to the two-way (See Figure 5). Using the
filtered output will insure that the
Sx
A
180 only is reproducing low bass information which
will let the two-way system sound cleaner and play louder. The unfiltered output is the
best way to parallel the signal to other
Sx
A
180s or if you want more mid-bass output from
the speaker setup.
