Frequently Asked Questions - S10P Proel

What is the power handling of the Proel S10P?

The Proel S10P handles 400 W RMS and 800 W peak. Ensure your amplifier can deliver this power at 8 ohms.

What is the impedance of the S10P?

The impedance is 8 ohms, making it suitable for most professional amplifiers.

Can I use the S10P with a home theater receiver?

Yes, if your receiver has a subwoofer output and can drive an 8-ohm passive subwoofer. You may need an external amplifier for best performance.

What type of amplifier is recommended?

A professional amplifier capable of delivering 400-800 W at 8 ohms is ideal. Look for models with built-in high-pass filters.

Does the S10P have a pole mount?

Yes, it features a M20 threaded insert for mounting on a speaker pole or subwoofer stand.

How should I clean the subwoofer?

Use a soft dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid water or cleaning solvents that could damage the finish or electronics.

Is the S10P suitable for live sound applications?

Absolutely, it is designed for portable PA systems and live music, providing powerful low-frequency reinforcement.

Can I use the S10P outdoors?

Yes, but protect it from direct rain and extreme humidity. The cabinet is robust but not weatherproof.

How do I connect multiple S10P subwoofers?

Use Speakon cables to daisy-chain them. Ensure total impedance does not drop below your amplifier's minimum rating.

What is the warranty on the Proel S10P?

Typically 2 years for manufacturing defects. Check with your dealer for specific terms.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing this PROEL product and for your trust in our brand, synonymous of professionalism, accuracy, high quality and reliability. All our products are CE approved and designed for continuous use in professional applications.

DESCRIPTION

S Series is new range of compact and powerful sub-woofers designed to complement PROEL full-range passive or active speakers. The variety of size, applicable power and SPL offered by the three passive S models provides the perfect low extension solution for any speaker model available in the PROEL range.

All the S models feature high-excision woofers in a Hybrid Band Pass configuration (HBP). This innovative design provides a higher efficiency compared to direct radiation sub-woofers and, in addition, guarantees a much better coupling of the tuning ducts with the external air, reducing the distortion and the air turbulence, for a more defined sound and deep and punchy lows.

The cabinets are built with 15 / 18mm plywood and finished with extra-durable polyurethane paint. They feature two flush handles and four sturdy 75mm wheels for an easy transport (S15 and S18 only).

INSTRUCTIONS

1. INPUT (SPEAKON)

External amplifier power input: this is the connector where you plug in the power cable coming from your power amplifier or powered mixer. The powered signal is NOT filtered by an internal passive crossover, so to obtain the optimal coupling with external satellite speakers you must use an external analog or digital loudspeaker processor or an amplifier with a built-in crossover filter (see the examples section for further details).

The suggested filtering frequency must be in the range of 80-160 Hz. The INPUT speakon has this pin connection:

PIN1+: positive power signal (usually red wire)

PIN1-: negative power signal (usually black wire)

2. LINK (SPEAKON)

Output of the power signal to be sent to another loudspeaker. The connector has the same pin out as specified above.

3. CHOOSE THE AMPLIFIER POWER

We give you three power numbers: continuous, program and peak.

These data suggest you can use any amplifier with a power capability in the range between continuous and program, but this rule is valid only if the amplifier never clips.

In order to prevent loudspeaker damages caused by clipping, that is likely the number one cause of damage, and assuming that you want to use the full capability of the loudspeaker, we recommend the use of an amplifier with a built-in limiter to prevent clipping: in this case the rated power capability must be in the range between continuous and program power rating of the loudspeaker, with the same nominal impedance (typically 4 or 8 ohms):

S10P

• For powering two units (with an impedance of 8 ohm each), we suggest the use of PROEL DPX1000 amplifier in a standard stereo configuration.
• For powering four units connected in parallel two by two (with a resulting impedance of 4 ohm for each channel), we suggest the use of PROEL DPX1000 amplifier in a double stereo configuration.
• For powering two units with two respective full range speakers, we suggest the use of two PROEL DPX1000 amplifiers, one for each channel, set in BI-AMP/PAR mode.

S15P

• For powering two units (with an impedance of 8 ohm each), we suggest the use of PROEL DPX1500 amplifier in a standard stereo configuration.
• For powering four units connected in parallel two by two (with a resulting impedance of 4 ohm for each channel), we suggest the use of PROEL DPX1500 amplifier in a double stereo configuration.
• For powering two units with two respective full range speakers, we suggest the use of two PROEL DPX1500, one for each channel, set in BI-AMP/PAR mode.

S18P

• For powering two units (with an impedance of 8 ohm each), we suggest the use of PROEL DPX2000 amplifier in a standard stereo configuration.
• For powering four units connected in parallel two by two (with a resulting impedance of 4 ohm for each channel), we suggest the use of PROEL DPX2000 amplifier in a double stereo configuration.
• For powering two units with two respective full range speakers, we suggest the use of two PROEL DPX2000, one for each channel, set in BI-AMP/PAR mode.

IMPORTANT: Clipping occurs when the signal at the output of any device in the system (not just the amplifier) reaches its maximum level. Proper operation of a sound system includes being aware of the types of audio signals being reproduced, controlling the output levels accordingly, and operating all the devices in the system so that no clipping occurs within the signal chain.
