REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

Read Instructions

The Owner's Manuals should be read and understood before operation of your unit. Please, save these instructions for future reference.

Packaging

Keep the box and packaging materials, in case the unit needs to be returned for service.

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

Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The product may fall, causing serious personal injury and serious damage to the product. Use only with cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when installing the product and use mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer.

The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing water; no objects filled with liquids should be placed on the apparatus.

Terminals marked with the "lightning bolt" are hazardous live; the external wiring connected to these terminals require installation by an instructed person or the use of ready made leads or cords.

No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

Power Cord

The AC supply cord should be routed so that it is unlikely that it will be damaged. If the AC supply cord is damaged DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT.

Service

The unit should be serviced only by qualified service personnel.

The Yorkville éXcursion 2000 is the ultimate all-in-one complete PA system for live sound or mobile DJ applications. The system includes one 18-inch high efficiency subwoofer and two specially optimized satellite speaker enclosures. The éXcursion 2000's active crossover network and three amplifiers are conveniently housed in the subwoofer enclosure. The Class D and two 3-tier Class A/B amplifiers ensure ultra quiet operation, low distortion and a high SPL output. This is not a system that's been hastily put together; the éXcursion 2000 was designed as a complete solution. The system assembles into an integrated package to make it easier for transportation and storage. The éXcursion 2000 was designed for the road.

The éXcursion 2000 can be used as a single system (subwoofer with two satellites) or as a dual system using two éXcursion 2000 systems. When the éXcursion 2000 is used in a dual system configuration, each system behaves as individual channels. The dual-system configuration allows the use of the two satellite speakers on each side of the stage that can be positioned for greater dispersion. The éXcursion 2000 subwoofer has a pole-mount adapter built-in to eliminate the necessity of using two speaker stands. See your Yorkville dealer for information on the variety of poles and stands available.

1. Input Jacks

i. Left & Right Input Jacks

The input jacks of the éXcursion 2000 are designed for operation with line-level signals. The XLR and balanced 1/4 -inch TRS jacks are wired in parallel, functionally identical except for the style of connector.

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 éXcursion 2000 to be driven with sources that have a low signal level. Connecting signals to both types of inputs on any one channel (XLR and 1/4-inch) is not recommended.

ii. Aux Bal Subwoofer In Jack

This balanced input allows the subwoofer to be fed from a separate signal source, other than the signals being fed to the Left and Right amplifiers. This feature allows the subwoofer to be mixed separately from the Left and Right signals.

iii. Mono/Stereo Switch

In Stereo mode, the éXcursion 2000 routes the two signals from the left and right inputs to the corresponding satellite enclosures. If an individual signal is sent to the éXcursion 2000, in either the left or right channel, enabling the Mono mode will route the signal to both satellite enclosures. If a stereo signal is used, both the left and right will be summed when the Mono mode is selected.

Note: Mono operation (using a single source) will require setting the applicable level control at a higher level.

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 Level 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.

3. Clip Indicators

i. Clip Indicator LEDs

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

ii. Sub Clip Indicator LED

The Sub Clip Indicator LED indicates excessive levels for signals going to the subwoofer amplifier. Indications of excessive levels are monitored either from the signals being sent from the Left and Right Inputs or from the Aux Bal Subwoofer In jack.

4. Protection

The éXcursion 2000 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 instances of overpowering.

Note: Continuous acoustic feedback may cause damage to the light bulbs (CTL™ hom protection circuitry) or to the speakers in the satellites.

i. Limit

Indicator LED

The Limit Indicator LED indicates when the maximum operating level for 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.

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.

The eXcursion 2000 System

The Yorkville éXcursion 2000 system is shipped in two cartons. The main carton contains the éXcursion 2000 main unit (subwoofer w/amplification) and the Dolly. The hold-down strap is used to secure the dolly and the sub together for shipping. The second carton contains the 2 éXcursion 2000 satellites, 4 metal casters, the power cord and these operating instructions.

- 4 Swivel Casters (YS#8577)

Some assembly required.

The bolts provided to attach the casters on the dolly have been conveniently screwed into the dolly. This allows you to find the mounting holes and prevents the bolts from being lost in shipping.

When installing Swivel Casters follow the sequence shown in the assembly diagram above. Place the split lock-washer (YS# 8489) between the bolt (YS# 8936) and the flat washer (YS# 8817). Following this sequence will assure proper assembly.

• 4x YS# 8577
• Swivel Casters
• 16x YS# 8817 - Flat Washers
