Frequently Asked Questions - ELITE EXCURSION 1000 YORKVILLE

How to connect the ELITE EXCURSION 1000?

Plug the power cord into the subwoofer and into a suitable power outlet. Connect the satellite speakers to the Speakon outputs on the subwoofer using the provided cables. Connect your audio source (mixer, player) to the XLR or 1/4" inputs on the subwoofer. Adjust the levels and mono/stereo mode as needed.

How to adjust the subwoofer level?

Use the Subwoofer Level knob on the rear panel of the subwoofer. Turn it clockwise to increase bass, counterclockwise to decrease. Starting at the center position is recommended.

What to do if the limiter indicator lights up?

The Limiter indicator shows that the maximum output level is reached. If it flashes, reduce the source volume or input levels. Prolonged continuous illumination may degrade sound quality and increase feedback risk.

Can I use a mono source with this system?

Yes, activate the Mono switch on the rear panel. In mono mode, the signal from a single input (left or right) will be reproduced on both satellites. If a stereo source is connected, both channels will be combined into mono.

How to assemble the wheels on the caddy?

Use the provided bolts, flat washers, and lock washers. Place the lock washer between the bolt and flat washer, then screw into the holes on the caddy. Follow the order indicated in the manual for correct assembly.

What is the total power of the system?

Total power is 950 watts distributed as follows: 125 watts per satellite (2 x 125 W) and 650 watts for the subwoofer. The system is active with built-in amplification.

How to clean the cabinet?

Disconnect the device before cleaning. Use a soft dry cloth to dust the cabinet. Never use solvents, abrasives, or liquid products. For the grille, a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush can be used.

What to do in case of abnormal operation?

If the device does not turn on, check the power cord and outlet. In case of distortion, reduce the input level. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician. Do not attempt to repair the device yourself.

Can I use this system outdoors?

Yes, but protect the device from moisture and weather. Do not expose it to rain or splashes. Use a tarp or set it up under a shelter. The caddy and handles facilitate transport.

How to benefit from the warranty?

The Yorkville warranty is transferable and does not require registration. In case of a defect within 2 years (or 10 years for the cabinet), return the product to your dealer with the original proof of purchase for free repair. Damages due to transport, improper installation, or natural disasters are not covered.

Warning

When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Power Sources

Your unit should be connected to a power source only of the voltage specified in the owners manual or as marked on the unit. This unit has a polarized plug. Do not use with an extension cord or receptacle unless the plug can be fully inserted. Precautions should be taken so that the grounding scheme on the unit is not defeated.

Hazards

POUR L'ENTRETIENT

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 a 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 it's compact enough for one-night stands).

The heart of the elite 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-limited 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 elite éXcursion1000 is the ultimate in compact live/DJ systems. This is a PA that is truly "Plug and Play."

1. Input Jacks

i. Left & Right Input Jacks

The input jacks of the éXcursion1000 are designed for operation with line-level signals. For convenience, parallel XLR and balanced ¼-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 6Xcursion1000 to be driven with sources that have a low signal level. Connecting a signal to both inputs on any one channel (XLR and 1/4-inch) is not recommended.

3. Clip Indicators

Clip Indicator LEDs

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

4. Protection

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.

i. Limit Indicator LED

The Limit Indicator LED indicates when the maximum operating level for the satellites has been reached.

ii. Mono/Stereo Switch

In stereo mode, the éXcursion1000

routines the two signals from the left and right inputs to the corresponding satellite enclosures. If 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.

2. Level Controls

i. 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 dB level.

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.

ii. 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.
