• 2 x 75 watt ampliers for the satellite speakers and 250 watts for the sub

• Clip LEDs on all critical signal inputs

• Balanced stereo line outputs This manual explains the various features and functions of the EXM400. For general information about mixing and other facets of sound-reinforcement check out our P.A. User Guide available on the internet... (http://www.yorkville.com). System Configurations The scalable nature of the EXM400 allows for several congurations that can be utilized to suit your needs. Here are some examples: SPKR OUT STEREO (Single System) STEREO (Two Systems) LINK STEREO (With Extension) SPKR OUT MONO (Single System) Use the EXM400SAT Extension Kit to double fullrange output!2 EXM Input Channel Features Channel 1

Channel 1 is equipped with a phone/XLR combi jack, either balanced or unbalanced ¼-inch and XLR male cables may be used. For powering condenser microphones, 24V of phantom power is present on the XLR input jack. Although the phantom power is not defeatable, it will not damage dynamic microphones connected with a balanced XLR cable.

2. Input Select Button

The input select button is used to congure Channel 1 for either guitar or microphone. Individual changes to the internal EQ, gain and limiting are made to match the input source selected. In the event the input signal induces clipping, both sides of the input select button will illuminate red. Reduce the output level at your source to prevent further clipping.

The EXM400 features active channel input circuitry with exceptionally high audio headroom. The Level control adjusts the channel gain over an 85 dB range. Use this control to adjust the chan- nel’s level in the overall system mix.

Channel 1 is equipped with a single tone control which functions as a tilt EQ. When centered, the tone control is bypassed, allowing the signal to pass through the channel unaltered. Turn- ing the control clockwise will increase treble and reduce bass. Going counter-clockwise, bass will increase and treble will drop. The tone control can be useful for enhancing the sound of your signal but it can also be handy for taming feedback in microphones and guitars. If you are encountering high frequency feedback, turn the control counter-clockwise. If low frequency feedback is occurring (as is common with acoustic guitars), turn the control clockwise.

A hall reverb is available on Channel 1 and 2. Use the reverb control to mix in some additional am- biance to your signal. This often works well with guitar and vocals. Channel 2

Channel 2 is equipped with a phone/XLR combi jack, either balanced or unbalanced ¼-inch and XLR male cables may be used. For powering condenser microphones, 24V of phantom power is present on the XLR input jack. Although the phantom is not defeatable, it will not damage dy- namic microphones connected with a balanced XLR cable.

2. Input Select Button

The input select button is used to congure Channel 2 for either line level or microphone. Individu- al changes to the internal EQ, gain and limiting are made to match the input source selected. In the event the input signal induces clipping, both sides of the input select button will illuminate red. Reduce the output level at your source to prevent further clipping.

A hall reverb is available on Channel 1 and 2. Use the reverb control to mix in some additional am- biance to your signal. This often works well with vocals. Channel 3/4

Line level signals can be connected to either of the TRS phone jacks or the 1/8-inch stereo input jack on Channel 3/4. The 1/4-inch jacks can accept either balanced or unbalanced signals. If only one of the 1/4-inch jacks is used, the channel self congures for mono playback. If a stereo source is connected but the EXM400 is setup in a mono configuration, the signal from Channel 3/4 will automatically be summed to mono.

The EXM400 features active channel input circuitry with exceptionally high audio headroom. The Level control adjusts the channel gain over an 85 dB range. Use this control to adjust the chan- nel’s level in the overall system mix.

Channel 3/4 is equipped with a pair of tone controls for enhancing the channel’s signal. The treble and bass controls allow for a +/- 6 dB adjustment at 2000 and 110 Hz respectively. When placed at the center position, these controls are bypassed. Bluetooth™ Section The EXM400 is capable of receiving streaming audio over Bluetooth™ from devices such as smartphones and laptops. Pairing your device with the EXM400 is simple and gives you the free- dom to play your music wirelessly.

1. Pairing / Bluetooth™ Enable Button

When the Enable Button is depressed, the Bluetooth™ audio connection is available for pairing. Con- versely, to block incoming connections or break a current connection, switch to the off position. With the Enable Button depressed, go to the Bluetooth™ menu on your streaming audio device. You will see a device named “YS-####” where #### indicates a four digit number unique to your EXM400. Select this device to initiate pairing. Once you see the “YS-####” device connected, you will be able to stream audio to the EXM400.

2. Bluetooth™ Status Indicator

The blue status indicator alerts the user to the current status of the Bluetooth™ connection. A fast blinking light indicates an available, unpaired connection. Clusters of three short bursts mean there is an active connection. No light means that Bluetooth™ is disabled or a connection has been lost.

3. Bluetooth™ Level Control

Use this control to set the audio level for the Bluetooth™ connection. Level can also be controlled directly at your streaming device. The EXM400’s Bluetooth™ operating range is rated for 10 meters (33 feet) line of sight. The quality of the link can be affected by an excess of traffic in the 2.4 GHz bandwidth or structures between the EXM400 and the streaming device. Master Section

Use the Master Control to set the overall level of the EXM400. This control sets the output of both the satellites and the subwoofer. When two systems are linked together, the Master Control only affects the level of the unit it resides on.

The sub control sets the relative level of the subwoofer to the satellite speakers. Typically, this control should be set to noon. If an additional pair of EXM400SAT speakers is being used, you may want to turn this control up. If you are using microphones and acoustic guitars and do not need much bass, turn the Sub level down to prevent low frequency feedback. Max Min Clip Line 3/4STEREOBALBluetooth

The Limit Indicator will begin to ash red when the internal limiter starts to engage. The limiter automatically lowers the level of the system to prevent the audio from clipping. The EXM400 is at its loudest when the Limit Indicator is ickering. Turning up the level further will not increase the system output considerably and will result in a compressed sound. Turn the Master Level down to reduce limiting Line Out Jacks You will nd a pair of balanced, ¼-inch output jacks below the Master Section. These jacks provide a line level stereo signal of the input channels and Bluetooth™ connection. Use these jacks to con- nect to recording gear, a larger PA or any other outboard gear. Link Section In situations where additional bass or input channels are required, two EXM400 systems can be linked together. This offers the possibility for 2 subs, up to 8 satellites speakers and 8 mixer channels.

To utilize the link feature of the EXM400, insert a ¼-inch TRS cable into the Link Jack of the two systems. Use of a non-TRS cable will result in loss of a stereo channel.

2. Unit Assign Button

When linking a pair of EXM400 systems, each unit must be assigned to the left or right side. After connecting the two systems with a TRS cable via the Link Jack, assign the system on the right to the right channel (button in, red light) and the other system to the left (button out, green light). Assigning both systems to the same channel will result in a non-functioning link. Speaker Out / Stereo Operation When congured with both satellite speakers on the sub-mounted poles, the EXM400 internally sums any stereo signals to mono. Stereo output is only achieved when two systems are linked to- gether or the Speaker Out Jack is used.

In order to achieve stereo output with a single EXM400 system, connect the supplied ¼-inch speaker cable between the Speaker Out Jack and the ¼-inch jack on a satellite speaker. This inter- nally switches the output of the sub-mounted satellites from mono summed stereo to left channel output. The speakers attached to the Speaker Out will produce the right channel. As with speakers connected to the top of the subwoofer, the Speaker Out Jack is capable of driv- ing two satellite speakers max. Full system power is achieved when two satellites are placed on the subwoofer and an additional two satellites are connected to the Speaker Out Jack.

2. Microphone Stand Adapter

Included with the EXM400 is an adapter to mount satellite speakers on a standard microphone stand. Simply thread the adapter to a 5/8-inch thread mic stand and place your satellite speakers on the adapter. NOTE: If the user wishes to run a stereo system with the subwoofer in the middle, a standard banana to ¼-inch speaker cable can be used to connect the left channel speakers to the port on the top of the subwoofer. BALNote: Make sure that one system is assigned Left and the other Right. LINK STEREO(TWO SYSTEMS)Unit Assign SPKR OUT STEREO(WITH EXTENSION)Use the EXM400SATExtension Kit todouble fullrange output!
