1YX SERIES1. Mic InThe balanced XLR microphone input can beused with any dynamic microphone.2. Line InThe balanced XLR/1/4-inch combi-jack inputcan be used with any line source such as aCD player or an electronic instrument with aline output. It is always recommended to usebalanced sources. This helps prevent the riskof hum or buzz associated with unbalancedconnections, especially if the cable is longor the source is operated from a separateAC power connection. Unlike the Mic In, theLine In does not have it’s own level control soconnection to the Line In and the Mic In atthe same time are not recommended.3. Mix OutTo allow operation of multiple YX15Ploudspeakers, from one source, this lineoutput is provided. It should be connectedto the Line In of the next YX15P in thechain. When connecting multiple YX15Ploudspeakers, the last YX15P in the chainshould be turned off first (and on last). EachYX15P should be turned on or off before theprevious YX15P in the chain. This will eliminateunwanted on/off noises.4. Mic Gain ControlThe microphone level control adjusts the miclevel of the loudspeaker. It also adjusts the miclevel on all YX15P enclosures in the chain (ifmultiple YX15P enclosures are used). The mainLevel control should be set to maximum whenthe microphone is being used.5. Level ControlThe Main level control sets the level of all soundcoming out of the YX15P enclosure. Unlike theMic Gain control, this control does not affectthe signal coming out the Mix Out. In systemsusing multiple YX15P enclosures the Levelcontrol on each cabinet sets the volume forthat cabinet. When used with a microphoneconnected to one YX15P at the beginningof the chain the Level control will normallybe set to maximum unless it is desired that aparticular cabinet be set quieter than the rest.When a line source is used the Level control willYX15P - Active Speaker - 200w, 12 inch / 1 inchThe YX15P offers the best value in a 15-inch and horn active loudspeaker enclosure. The enclosureis the same proven design as the YX15 passive loudspeaker and uses the same rugged and reliablespeaker components. The biamped 200-watt power module has a minimum of controls yet providesmaximum versatility making the YX15P the ideal solution for many applications.A 3-band EQ, XLR balanced microphone input as will as an XLR / TRS 1/4-inch balanced combi-jackline input on the power module means the YX15P can be easily connected to any source and quicklyEQ balanced for the room. An XLR balanced line output allows multiple NX250’s to be linked togetherfor use in an array or for easy distribution around a large room when used as repeater cabinets.The horn/tweeter amplifier uses two-tier class A/B technology, allowing the horn to produceclean transients to keep up with the high output of the woofer. The woofer, or low frequency,amplifier uses class-H 2-tier amplifier technology. This achieves a lighter weight, more efficientamplifier with higher headroom (and lower operating temperature). Each amplifier has it ownlimiter to prevent distortion caused by clipping.The YX15P enclosure, like all enclosures in the NX loudspeaker line, has been designed formaximum versatility. The trapezoid box is ideal for mounting in arrays, or for use as a monitorcabinet (with well-protected inputs and controls). The YX15P can easily be used in any orientation,and close to walls, floors and in close arrays with multiple cabinets. Particular care was takendesigning the components to reduce extraneous heat production.Features· Dual purpose full range and wedge monitor format enclosure· Ultra-clear reproduction throughout bandwidth· Lightweight, high efficiency, high tech, 200 Watt biamped power module· combi-jack XLR/1/4-inch TRS input· An XLR output for easy connection and looping· Direct microphone input with level control· Three band overall EQ controls· 15-inch Ceramic Magnet Woofer· High quality 1-inch High Frequency driver· Tough, full length metal grille· Recessed panel
