INSTRUCTIONS RELATIVES AU RISQUE

The concept behind the design of the élite éXcursion1000 was simple, -create a powerful, yet highly mobile active stereo PA and club system. Striking the right balance between portability and presence, Yorkville's designers selected a 15-inch bass driver capable of handling à booming 650 watts and paired it with two 8- inch/1-inch satellite loudspeakers delivering a crisp 150 watts a side; total output of over 950 watts. That's enough for the experienced club veteran, all in a single package (and its compact enough for one-night stands). The heart of the élite éXcursion1000 is the active subwoofer unit. Housing the 15-inch driver, input section, electronic crossover networks and the five integrated power amplifier modules that drive the entire éXcursion1000 system, this core unit is powered by a single AC line cord. To ensure trouble-free transport, the system comes complete with a swivel caster dolly and Velcro" tie downs to allow for its nested satellite cabinets. With its quick and convenient setup, teardown, and a minimum of cabling and connectivity to get in the way onstage, the éXcursion1000 is an ideal solution wherever portability is an issue. And unlike competing PA system solutions, the caster kit for the éXcursion1000 is fully detachable, eliminating caster buzz and rattle during performance. The full-range satellite speakers are driven by the subwoofer through two 8M Speakon'" fourline-cables (included). This four-wire design allows the internal electronic crossover network to deliver an acoustically perfect transition between subwoofer and satellite. Experienced design of the active bi-amp circuitry delivers 125 watts to each of the 8-inch drivers and 25 watts to the 1-inch horns with precision, allowing unsurpassed efficiency and clarity. Opto-limiter circuitry in the crossover network provides an unobtrusive and musical-sounding compression that not only protects the speaker components, but provides balanced program reproduction from the satellite cabinets. The entire system may be connected to any mono or stereo mixer source through either XLR or 1/4-inch TRS balanced inputs. And true to Yorkville’s long-standing commitment to quality, the éXcursion1000 cabinets are a rugged plywood construction — we never use fiberboard or composites. A complete, self contained powered system with passive and active crossover networks, equalization, and Separate stereo and subwoofer level controls included, the élite éXcursion1000 is the ultimate in compact live/DJ systems. This is a PA that is truly “Plug and Play.” Features + The ideal PA system for audiences of up to 300 people + _Truly ‘Plug and Play,’ all amplification and level controls are built in. + Voiced for prerecorded applications as well as live sound reinforcement. + XLR and 1/4-inch TRS balanced inputs connect easily to any mixer source. + Active crossover networks with integrated power amplification create a seamless balance between subwoofer and full-range, bi-amped stereo satellites. + System nests together for easy transportation and storage. + An ultra quiet, highly efficient, high output, low distortion, lightweight PA solution. +_Includes integrated bar handles and stand mount adaptors. Rugged plywood cabinet construction. Removable caster kit. Available in your choice of black carpet (EX1) and black Ultrathane (EX1B) painted finishes

ï. Left & Right Input Jacks The input jacks of the éXcursion1000 are designed for operation with line-level signals. For convenience, parallel XLR and balanced ‘4-inch TRS jacks are provided on each side. Note: The required input level for full power operation, when the Level controls are set to the center detent position, is approximately +4 dBv (1.2 volts). increasing this setting allows the éXeursion1000 to be driven with sources that have a low signal level. Connecting a signal to both inputs on any one channel (XLR and %-inch) is not recommended.

ii. Mono/Stereo Switch

In stereo mode, the éXcursion1000 routes the two signals from the left and right inputs to the corresponding satellite enclosures. 1f a mono signal is sent to either the left or right channel of the éXcursion1000, enabling the mono mode will route the signal to both satellites. If a stereo signal is used, both the left and right channels will be summed when the mono mode is selected.

ï. Left & Right Level Controls The Left and Right Level controls adjust the output level of the corresponding satellite enclosures. Adjustments can be made to alter the balance of the satellites, compensate for signal sources that are not the standard +4 dBv line level or to tweak the SPL levels appropriate to the application. The Left and Right Level are normally set to the center detent.

ii. Subwoofer Level Control

The Subwoofer Level control allows fine-tuning of the low frequency output. Adjustments can be made to compensate for signal sources that are not the standard +4 dBv level.

Clip Indicator LEDs The Clip Indicator LED shows when there is excessive input level on either the Left or Right Inputs.

The éXcursion1000 uses a sophisticated, multi-stage limiting system that prevents clipping of the amplifiers while accommodating a wide range of input levels. The limiter circuitry protects the entire system against most situations involving damaging signal levels. ï. Limit Indicator LED The Limit Indicator LED indicates when the maximum operating level or the satellites has been reached. When the LED is illuminated, the circuitry is actively limiting the output. increasing the input signal level or turning up the Level controls will not increase the operating level beyond the limit indicated. When the unit is driven into limiting, the internal Limiter circuit becomes triggered and will reduce the gain. This will not significantly degrade the sound quality. Note: Operating a few dB into limiting will ensure that the system is operating at its maximum output. Operating excessively into limiting will make the system more susceptible to feedback. Sub Limit Indicator LED The Sub Limit Indicator LED illuminates when the maximum recommended operating-level of the subwoofer has been reached. Increasing the input signal level or turning up the Level controls will not increase the operating level beyond the limit indicated. When the internal Limiter circuit becomes active the sound quality will not significantly be degraded. 1/4-inch T.R.S.
