Manual for other modes of operation

The ES700P is a premium quality integrated powered subwoofer and amplifier. Created as an easy-to-setup addition to your PA, the ES700P will extend the bass of a typical sound system with a minimum of complication, and hence is intended primarily to operate with speaker level signals.

The ES700P may be used in several different configurations, the minimum standard system is one ES700P used with a pair of full range speakers. The ES700P accepts the signal from separate Left and Right sources simultaneously. It then combines them into one signal (to drive the internal speakers). When used in a setup where only one signal is provided to a speaker, such as a mono system or stereo with more than one ES700P, use either the Left or Right input.

For normal operation connect the ES700P just like an ordinary speaker along with the full range speakers. The "INPUT LEVEL" switch should be set to "SPEAKER." If the audio source does not have a "U" ground, i.e.: a ground pin on the AC cord, the "INPUT GROUND" switch must be set to "GROUNDED" .The ES700P may be wired before or after the full range speakers. Use the left and right inputs when using a single ES700P in a stereo system. Use either the left or right inputs when using separate ES700P's for each side or when used in a mono system. The ES700P does not alter the signal to the full range speakers in any way. The ES700P will not draw any power from the amplifier driving the full range speakers. Please note that an external cross-over is not necessary.

1. Hi Frequency Cutoff Control

If an élite processor is used, set the high frequency cutoff to maximum (160 Hz)

spl when set for speaker level input. With a typical 2 full range companion speaker this will give flat response. In either line 3 or speaker operation it will usually be desirable 4 to set the control at +3 to +6 to give some bass boost at low power levels. At levels approaching full power the built-in 5 limiter will automatically reduce the gain to prevent over powering the subwoofer. Operation with settings significantly above +12 may clip the circuitry in the subwoofer reducing the dynamics of the music. Setting the subwoofer gain above +12 is only appropriate at low operating level.

2. Subwoofer Level Control

3. Input Ground Switch

This control varies the frequency at which the ES700P rolls off the high frequencies. This provides part of a crossover function. This crossover function also combines with the natural low frequency roll off inherent of the full range cabinet (when the ES700P is not used with an élite processor). This control should be set to the closest possible frequency to 20 Hz below the crossover point that the full range speakers processor uses as it's crossover point.

Refer to the Owner's Manual for other modes of operation

SUBWOOFER LEVEL +3 +10

This Subwoofer may be driven from Speaker Level or Line Level signals. If an élite processor is used, this Subwoofer should be plugged into the SUB output of the processor. The High–Frequency Cutoff should be set to 150-Hz and the Input Level should be set to LINE. For Line Level operation a balanced (Tip Ring Sleeve) cable should be used. If the system is being INPUT GROUND operated without a processor, UNGROUNDED this Subwoofer can be GROUNDED connected to the output of the power amplifier as shown in the INPUT LEVEL SPEAKER diagrams and the Input Level should be set to SPEAKER. If LINE none of the equipment has a Uground, the INPUT GROUND should be set to GROUNDED. Otherwise the INPUT GROUND should be set to the position that best minimizes the hum. LEFT INPUT

PARALLEL THRU RIGHT INPUT PARALLEL THRU

dB The ES700P expects the source feeding it to be grounded. A system comprised entirely of ungrounded equipment may cause the ES700P to hum or buzz. If you have a buzz or hum problem, try setting the switch to the "GROUNDED" position. The switch should otherwise be left in the "UNGROUNDED" position. Do not use the grounded position with an amplifier operating in bridged mode or when the sleeve of the input signal is live.

The subwoofer level control adjusts the amount of bass added to the sound system by the ES700P. This adjusts for the relative sensitivity of the companion full range speakers and the desired system frequency response. This control should be set by listening while operating at a medium level and then not changed. It is not possible to set this control properly at high levels since the limiter is determining the output level. Setting the level too high will over load the circuitry causing a loss of bass dynamics. The level control should not be set above the 9 o’clock position except when operating at low levels. For most applications the control should be set between 0dB and +20dB.

4. Input Level Switch

A switch is provided to switch input levels between speaker level and line level. The switch should be set to speaker level when the ES700P is fed from the output of an amplifier or powered mixer. The line level position is for when the ES700P is fed a signal from a processor, electronic crossover or the output of an unpowered mixer. When using the line level mode the use of balanced (Tip, Ring, Sleeve) cables will reduce the sensitivity to hum and buzz.

A setting of 0dB on the SUBWOOFER LEVEL control is the correct starting point when setting up a sound system. From there the sound can be adjusted for best sound. The 0 dB mark refers to the setting that will give full power when the line input is used and the input signal is at a level of +4 dBV. This also is the setting to give a sensitivity of

2.83 Vrms (1 watt 8-Ohms) for 100 dB 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.

5. Stereo Input & Parallel Thru Jacks

The ES700P has circuitry to prevent clipping, over current and over excursion. The circuitry does not alter the frequency response as the level changes. At high levels the limiter will limit the gain of the ES700P and hence if the user attempts to set the subwoofer level control at high levels 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 to high due to setting it at high operating levels the input circuit will clip and the dynamics of the bass will be lost. This can happen without audible distortion since the filters will filter out the distortion.

For normal operation, connect the ES700P just like an ordinary speaker, along with the Full-Range speakers and set the Input Level switch to SPEAKER. If the audio source does not have a ground pin on the AC cord, the Input Ground switch must be set to GROUND (GND). The ES700P may be plugged in before or after the Full-Range speakers. Use the Left and Right Inputs when using a single ES700P in a stereo system. Use either the Left or the Right inputs when using separate ES700P's for each side (or when used in a Mono system). The ES700P does not alter the signal to the Full-Range speakers, and will not draw any power from the host amplifier driving them. Please note that an external crossover is not necessary. As well as accommodating the full range speakers, the PARALLEL THRU jacks allow many ES700Ps to be connected in a string (or otherwise in parallel). There is no practical limit to the number of ES700Ps that may be connected together.
