IEC 60417-50411 YXL SERIES YXL Series Powered Active Speakers The YXL Series o󰀨ers our best ratio of power, performance and value for full-range active loudspeaker enclosures. Providing 500 watts (1000 watts peak) with e󰀩cient speaker components, the YXL Series is extremely loud for their sizes. There are several di󰀨erent input options for connecting audio sources including Bluetooth®, microphones, musical instruments and other audio sources. While the onboard audio mixer may has a minimum of controls, it's tremendously useful and provides great versatility. The YXL Series can be easily used in any situation, close to walls, oors, in arrays with multiple enclosures and as a stage monitor. With all these options, the YXL Series is the solution for all of your audio applications. Up to 16 YXL Series Powered speakers can be linked together with a maximum of three ‘mixers’ active at any one time. This means up to 6 mic sources and 6 instrument/line sources are available in an array of three or more enclosures. The Master level controls are used to adjust the levels of individual powered enclosures. This is invaluable in applications where large numbers of enclosures are used such as in clusters or in trade show applications (or when YXL Series powered speakers are used as repeater enclosures or side-ll). NOTE: Our Link system allows additional powered YXL Series powered speakers to be driven from a single source (up to a maximum of 16 YXL Series powered enclosures). A maximum of 3 mixers can be used when Linking YXL Series powered enclosures USER TIP: When a pair of YXL Series powered speakers are Linked you can use both mixers integrated on each cabinet. A 100 Hz high pass lter can be activated to make it easier to add subwoofers to the YXL- Series powered enclosures. This allows the speakers to be used more e󰀩ciently with almost any active subwoofer. Features

1. Power Switch and Mode LED

The AC power switch on the rear panel turns the power On or O󰀨. The Mode LED turns on to indicate power is supplied to the unit.

The Mode Selector applies specic EQ and tone settings for the YXL Series powered enclosure, e󰀨ectively custom tailoring the speaker for any environment. Concert: Allows instruments and vocals to be equally and naturally reproduced which is best for live performance. Club: Boosted bass and enhanced highs make this mode ideal for music playback. Monitor: Optimized for use as a stage monitor and the human voice while minimizing feedback.

The Master control sets the level of ALL sound coming out of the YXL Series enclosure. If there are multiple YXL Series speakers in a system, the volume of each speaker is individually set by using each enclosure’s Master control.

This LED illuminates when audio signal is present from all sources being sent to the Master. NOTE: If the Master is turned to Min, the Activity LED will not illuminate.

The Yorkville YXL Series is capable of receiving streaming audio over Bluetooth® from devices such as smart phones, tablets and laptops. Pairing your device with the YXL Series is simple and gives you the freedom to play your music wirelessly.

6. Bluetooth® Pairing

To pair your Bluetooth® device, depress the Bluetooth® switch for approximately 4-seconds. The blue LED will ash to indicate the YXL speaker is ready to be paired.

7. Linking Multiple Cabinets Using Bluetooth®.

Bluetooth® can be used along with the Link feature only when the rst cabinet in the Link chain is paired and the mixer is enabled. Pair with the rst cabinet using Bluetooth® and leave the others unpaired. Then, use the appropriate XLR cables to Link between the multiple cabinets by wire through the Link/left channel connection. If Stereo Bluetooth® is desired, set the “paired” cabinet to Stereo Mode, the right channel will play on the paired cabinet and the Left signal will play on the cabinet connected to the L/Link jack.

8. Onboard Mixer and Mixer Enable Switch

The Mixer Enable switch turns the onboard mixer ‘on’ or ‘o󰀨.’ When the Mic or Line inputs are used, this switch must be set to the ‘on’ position. If these inputs are not being used, the mixer should be turned ‘o󰀨,’ this will help prevent the mixer from contributing noise to the system. The onboard mixer should not be used when a source other than another YXL Series powered speaker (or similar) is connected to the LINK jack. Remember, a maximum of 3 mixers, in a chain of enclosures, should be used! A much larger number of enclosures may be used with the mixers disabled on the additional enclosures. Clip Activity MASTER

Channel Level Controls & Clip LEDs The channel level controls adjust the input sensitivity and the level of the channel’s signal being sent to the Master. The clip LEDs illuminate 3 dB before clipping and are a󰀨ected by both the source’s gain signals and each corresponding channel level control. USER TIP: When using the mixer, the Master control should be adjusted to control the suitable overall level of the YXL Series Powered Enclosure for the application. NOTE: Adjustments of the gain for the Bluetooth® source can be made on the source device. Channel 1 Mic / Instrument In Any standard dynamic, condenser or phantom powered microphone may be connected to the Mic input, phantom power is built-in. The 1/4-inch TRS Instrument input is optimized for instruments such as guitars, basses or keyboards. Do NOT use both XLR and 1/4-inch inputs simultaneously. NOTE: Some condenser microphones, that don’t use batteries, may require phantom power. TECH NOTE: The function of the xed 90 Hz high pass lter on Channel 1 is to minimize low frequency rumble when an acoustic instrument is used. It also helps remove the boominess when using the Microphone. Channel 2 Mic / Line In Any standard dynamic, condenser or phantom powered microphone may be connected to the Mic input, phantom power is built-in. The 1/4-inch TRS input can be used with any line source such as a CD player or an electronic instrument with a line output. It is always recommended to use balanced sources. This helps prevent the risk of hum or buzz associated with unbalanced connections, especially if the cable is long or the source is operated from a separate AC power connection. Do NOT use both XLR and 1/4-inch inputs simultaneously. Channel 3 Stereo Aux In The 1/8-inch Line input jack is a typical ‘stereo’ audio input which properly sums the left and right signals from stereo sources such as MP3 players. When the mixer is set in Stereo Mode the right output will appear at the Link Output allowing a pair of linked YXL cabinets to give you stereo playback. NOTE: Channel 3’s 1/8-inch TRS Line input and Bluetooth® can be used simultaneously.

For operation with a subwoofer, the Sub switch shuts o󰀨 the low frequency boost and lters out signals below 100 Hz. This switch only a󰀨ects the signals to the internal amplier and does not a󰀨ect signals going out from the onboard mixer, or to signals passing through the Link connections.

The Main In and L/Link connectors allow additional powered enclosures to be driven from a single source. You can Link up to 16 YXL Series powered enclosures! The Main In jack is the correct input to use when driving the YXL Series Powered Speaker with an external mixer or from another YXL link output. TECH NOTE: The Main In and L/Link jacks operate at line level (+4 dBu) to achieve full power. When operating from signals that are not as strong, use the Line inputs of the rst cabinet in the chain. The Link jacks are high quality balanced inputs with very good common mode (hum) rejection. To ensure maximum hum rejection, the proper balanced cables must be used. NOTE: A maximum of 3 YXL Series Control Panel mixers can be used when Linking YXL Series Powered Enclosures.

Many of the popular models in the Yorkville speaker cabinet line are now equipped with flying hardware for overhead suspension applications. Depending on the model, two or more internal braces have been provided for rigging purposes. Each brace contains two bolt holes and provides center-of-gravity fly-points for use with in-line or angular loads. Many of the models will support additional suspended cabinets according to their specified working load limits. IMPORTANT!! THE RIGGING OF LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEMS IS AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS MATTER. OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, INCLUDING (BUT NOT LIMITED TO) CALCULATING WORKING LOAD LIMITS, HARDWARE INSTALLATION, AND PERIODIC SAFETY INSPECTION OF ALL HARDWARE AND CABINETRY. IF YOU LACK THESE QUALIFICATIONS, DO NOT ATTEMPT THE INSTALLATION YOURSELF, BUT INSTEAD USE A PROFESSIONAL STRUCTURAL RIGGER. IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN RESULT IN BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. CONSULT A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER TO CALCULATE ADDED LOADS FOR A BUILDING. STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENT MAY BE NECESSARY TO INSURE A SAFE INSTALLATION.

4.5mm (7/32”) Hex Wrench Thread lock adhesive (Removable Type)

3. EYEBOLT INSTALLATION

a) Using a 4.5mm (7/32”) hex wrench, remove the flat head bolts from the top or bottom of the speaker enclosure to expose the tapped holes (on TX models, the flat head bolts are located within the track rails), as shown below. Be sure to keep these handy as they will be needed to seal the cabinet after the eyebolts are removed. IMPORTANT!! USE ONLY LOAD RATED FORGED EYEBOLTS. THESE MAY BE PURCHASED THROUGH YORKVILLE SOUND OR ATM FLY- WARE™. TO INSURE CABINET-BRACING STRENGTH, MAKE SURE ALL FLY-POINTS ARE SECURED WITH EITHER AN EYEBOLT OR FLAT HEAD HEX BOLT. b) Place a drop of thread-lock adhesive on the threads of the eyebolt and insert one into exposed hole. Tighten each eyebolt by hand until its fits snugly against the cabinet. Further tighten each eyebolt by rotating it another half turn. Be sure to insert eyebolts in the threaded hole directly in-line with the suspension cable. Always follow the eyebolt manufacturers installation and use instructions. c) Suspend each cabinet according to working load calculations and practices recommended by the rigging hardware manufacturer. IMPORTANT!! ON MODELS WITH ONLY TWO TOP SUSPENSION POINTS THE SUPPLIED PULL BACK AT THE REAR OF THE BOTTOM CENTER PANEL OF THE CABINET IS NOT TO BE USED AS A SUSPENSION POINT. THIS POINT TO BE USED FOR PULL BACK PURPOSES ONLY. IMPORTANT!! READ ALL ENCLOSED INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT PROPER USE OF HARDWARE. TO INSURE PROPER INSTALLATION, FOR TECHNICAL INFORMATION ON SUSPENSION TECHNIQUES AND EXTERIOR ACCESSORY INFORMATION WE SUGGEST CALLING ATM FLY- WARES TECHNICAL SERVICES IN THE UNITED STATES AT [phone] MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FROM 9 AM TO 6 PM (PST) OR FAX AT [phone]. YORKVILLE SOUND MAKES NO CLAIMS AS TO THE SAFETY OF THE ENCLOSURES IF RECOMMENDED LOAD LIMITS AND HARDWARE ARE NOT STRICTLY ADHERED TO. NOR DOES IT MAKE ANY SAFETY CLAIMS TO THE RESULTANT INSTALLATION. IMPORTANT!! TRACK RAILINGS: UNITS THAT INCORPORATE THE TRACK RAILING SYSTEM HAVE THE SAME WORKING LOAD LIMITS AS THEY DO WHEN THEY ARE USED WITH EYEBOLTS. THESE RATINGS MAY BE LIMITED AND BASED ON THE RATINGS OF THE TRACK FITTINGS THEMSELVES. PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE RATING OF THE CERTIFIED TRACK FITTINGS EXCEEDS
