USER MANUAL NX200S YORKVILLE

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure

that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the ccompanying the appliance.

Instructions pertaining to a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to a person

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).

NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

Read Instructions: The Owner's Manual should be read and understood before operation of your unit. Please, save these instructions for future reference and heed all warnings.

Clean only with dry cloth.

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

Warning: To reduce the risk or fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. Do not use this apparatus near water!

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.

Ensure that proper ventilation is provided around the appliance. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

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

Power Cord

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. 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.

Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

Service

The unit should be serviced only by qualified service personnel.

SUIVEZ TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS

The nx200s active subwoofer uses a 200 watt amplifier to enhance the bottom end (bass) of a full-range speaker system. Using the nx200s does increase the overall output of the system slightly. The inputs to the subwoofer accept a single source either from a speaker/ amplifier output or a line level output from a pre-amp or mixer.

The nx200s is smooth and robust at high power levels because of efficient use of the built in limiter and thermal protection. The internal limiter and the internal protection are factory optimized for maximum performance.

1. Power Switch

2. dB Level

Set the dB Level control to a desired level as music is being played through the unit.

A setting of 0 dB on the dB 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 SPL when set for speaker level input. With a typical full range companion speaker this will give flat response. In either line or speaker operation it will usually be desirable 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 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 levels

3. Input Level Switch

Speaker

Normally, the input to the subwoofer is from a full-range speaker cabinet, or amplifier output.(See figure 2)

Line

In this case, the input to the subwoofer is from a line level source such as a mixer.

4. Ground Lift

If a hum, or buzz is detected from the subwoofer, try setting the switch to the GND LIFT position (OUT position). The switch should otherwise be left in the GND (IN position).

5. Input Jacks

The two inputs are balanced 1/4-inch parallel jacks and can be connected as shown in figures 2 and 3, on the following page. Please note that there is no effect to the performance of the full-range speaker if it is used to supply a music signal to the nx200s.

6. Power On LED

Multiple nx200s's

As well as accommodating the full-range speakers, the parallel input jacks allow many nx200s's to be connected in a string. There is no practical limit to the number of nx200s's that may be connected together.

Figure 2

Figure 3

User Note

For normal operation connect the nx200s just like any 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 (a ground pin on the AC cord), the ground lift switch must be set to gnd. The nx200s may be wired before or after the full-range speakers. The nx200s does not alter the signal to the full-range speakers. The nx200s will not draw any power from the amplifier driving the full-range speakers. Please note that an external crossover is not necessary.

Note: The nx200s built-in stand mounting adapter can be used with Yorkville SW-Teletube accessory to support small full-range cabinets (approximately 16 kg / 35.25 lbs). The support tube can be adjusted up to it's full 5 foot 4 inch extension safely as long as the nx200s is not inclined more than 10^ (10 degrees).

WARNING: Larger/heavier cabinets should not be used with the stand mount!
