1.3 Basic operation

Using the VP series loudspeakers is easy and intuitive. Simply follow these steps
to achieve the best possible sound:

 Caution

Never connect multiple power amps to one loudspeaker. Doing so could cause
the very fabric of reality to unravel, sending the entire universe into oblivion.
Worse yet, it could destroy your ampliers and your loudspeaker.

5. If using the VP1800S subwoofer, it is important to run the source signal into
a crossover before the power amp(s). This will allow you to direct only the
low frequencies to the subwoofer, and the rest of the sound spectrum to the
full-range loudspeakers.

6. Turn the sound source on (mixer, stereo, etc.).

7. Make sure the volume/gain control on the power amp is turned all the
way down, and then turn the power on.

8. Activate the sound source, whether it is playing music from a CD player or
speaking into a microphone, and adjust the levels. Gradually raise the power
amp volume level to desirable level. If distortion occurs, turn the power
amp volume down. Should the problem persist, make sure distortion is not
occurring at the sound source. If you reach the desired volume level by barely
turning up the power amp level/gain, turn the sound source output down to
allow the power amp to push the speakers more.

9. Rock ‘n Roll!

2. Connections

(2)

(1)

Fig. 2.1: Connector panel

(1) The VP series features two locking professional loudspeaker (1) connectors

that are wired in parallel. You can connect one of the connectors to the
output on your power amp and tap into the signal from the amp on
the second connector, in order, for example, to feed this signal into an
additional loudspeaker. The pin designation of the loudspeaker connector
is pins 1+ and 1-. Pins 2+ and 2- are not connected.

1. Plug the line-level outputs from a sound source such as a mixer or stereo
system into a power amp of appropriate size (see 4.2 Power amp rating).
Make sure the sound source and amplier are turned o.

2. Using ¼" TS or professional locking-style speaker cables, plug the power
amp output into the ¼" or locking-style input on the back of the speaker.
DO NOT use instrument cables (i.e., guitar cords) for this connection!

3. If using a pair of VP loudspeakers, run the amp in stereo operation.
If using just one loudspeaker, mono operation is preferable.

4. If using four or more loudspeakers, there are a few ways to make the
connections. The rst is to use two power amps, one for each pair of
loudspeakers. Another is to connect the rst pair of loudspeakers in normal
stereo operation, then use the output jacks on the back of the loudspeakers to
link the second pair of loudspeakers. This way each channel on the power amp
is driving two loudspeakers. Make sure that the wattage and ohm rating are
appropriate for this situation.

• Avoid placing full-range loudspeakers in a corner or right next to a wall.

This enhances the low frequencies and can cause the sound to get muddy.
Subwoofers may be placed almost anywhere since low frequencies are not
highly directional

• Make sure that the loudspeakers are not in a place where they could

be knocked over by dancing audience members, overly eccentric stage
performers, sudden earthquakes, etc.

• Some rooms, such as gymnasiums and auditoriums, create a large amount

of natural reverb, making it dicult to maintain intelligible sound.
Laying carpet or rugs on the ground and curtains across windows or brick
walls will help dampen the reec tions and improve the overall sound

3.2 How to prevent feedback

Always place the “front of house” speakers ahead of the microphones
(from the audience’s perspective), and never behind. Use professional oor
monitors or an in-ear monitoring system to allow the stage performers to hear.

3.3 How to avoid feedback when working with record players (DJ Applications)

In applications with record players, bass feedback can occur. Bass feedback
occurs when low frequencies get back to the pickup and are reproduced on the
loudspeakers. The most common causes for this are: speakers located too closely
to the record player, a room with a wooden oor, or presence of a podium or a
platform. In such cases, it is best to move the loudspeakers away from the record
player and remove them from the stage, so that they are located on rm ground.
Another option is to use raised stands, which prevent the loudspeakers from
having a direct contact with the ground.

For the VP series, here are typical connection scenarios:

• Two 8 Ohm speakers in parallel = 4 Ohms

• Four 8 Ohm speakers in parallel = 2 Ohms

• Two 4 Ohm speakers in parallel = 2 Ohms

• Four 4 Ohm speakers in parallel = 1 Ohm

◊ Your amplifier may be damaged if the actual impedance drops below

its input impedance. Please make sure that the calculated total
impedance ZT is not smaller than the minimum impedance specified
for your amplifier.

3. Optimal Operation

We have developed the VP series for use in a wide range of possible applications.
Of course, the sound of your loudspeakers depends on the acoustic characteristics
of the room/space in which they are being used. The following chapters of
this manual will give you information about getting the most out of your
EUROLIVE loudspeakers.

3.1 Loudspeaker placement

Here are some tips to get optimal sound and performance
from your loudspeaker(s):

• Elevate the loudspeaker at or above head level. High frequencies are

the segment of the audio spectrum responsible for clarity and speech
intelligibility. They can get mued by the front row of the audience, so we
recommend positioning your loudspeakers so the high-frequency drivers are
slightly above the height of the audience. The more you can get everyone in
direct earshot, the better. Imagine the loudspeaker is a giant ashlight,
and you want to illuminate everyone in the room

3.4 Loudspeaker protection by using a
low-cut lter

Try to prevent damage to your loudspeakers caused by extreme oscillation
of the low-frequency driver due to subsonic noise and extremely deep
frequencies. Use an equalizer to cut o those frequencies that fall below
your loudspeakers’ frequency range, or use a low-cut/high-pass lter.
Most equalizers and sound-improvement systems oer a low-cut function,
like the BEHRINGER ULTRAGRAPH DIGITAL DEQ1024, for example. Using a low-cut
lter in your signal path is particularly recommended if you use record players
or CD players as your signal source. CD players of ten produce extremely deep
frequencies, which can lead to extreme excursions of the low-frequency driver.

4. Additional Considerations

4.1 Length and diameter of loudspeaker cables

Loudspeaker cables whose diameter is too small can considerably limit the
power amp performance. The longer the cable, the more pronounced the
problem. As a result, musicians often simply “turn up” the amp, which can lead
to loudspeaker damage. Therefore, don’t use cables longer than 15 m (45 ft.).
For most applications, this will not be necessary. Cable diameter should be at
least 14 - 12 gauge.

4.2 Power amp rating

Selecting the right amp can turn out to be rather dicult. Therefore, stick to
the following rule of thumb: the power rating of your amp should be roughly
twice the loudspeaker load capacity. A loudspeaker rated at 200 Watts
continuous performance can easily be powered by an amp rated at 400 Watts
output power. An optimal addition to your speaker system would be the
BEHRINGER EUROPOWER EP2000 power amp, for example.

7 EUROLIVE VP2520/VP1800S/VP1520/VP1220F/VP1220 User Manual

4.3 Fuses

We do not recommend the use of fuses with loudspeaker applications. Damage to
loudspeakers can be the result of high peak signals and high output power.
However, fuses can only oer protection from one of these two factors, and never
from both. Additionally, fuse resistances are sometimes nonlinear, leading to
distortion and unpredictable overdriving.

4.4 Protecting your equipment

• Always try to nd the optimal signal level. Avoid overdriving your amp

• Keep in mind the physical limitations of your PA system

• Use a limiter to restrict the output signal level. Place the limiter between

the mixing console and the power amp. For this purpose, our proven
AUT O-XL MDX1600, COMPOSER PRO-XL MDX2600 and MULTICOM PRO-XL
MDX4600 compressors oer an outstanding solution. All models can be used
as a limiter: the audio signal doesn’t overdrive any more, and unpleasant
“peaks” are eectively avoided

◊ Our ULTRADRIVE PRO DCX2496 and SUPER-X CX3400/CX2310 crossovers

are particularly well-suited for protecting your equipment: for each
output, they have independent limiters.

5. Application Examples

5.1 Full-range stereo operation

This example applies to the VP1220, VP1220F, VP1520, and VP2520.

In this example, the main output signal of a mixing console is connected
to a power amplier. Both the outputs and inputs are stereo. A full-range
VP series loudspeaker is connected to each of the amplier outputs, and these
loudspeakers reproduce the entire frequency range.

5.3 Two-way stereo operation with a crossover, full-range loudspeakers and subwoofers

This example applies to the VP1800S in combination with the full-range
loudspeakers (VP1220, VP1520, and VP2520).

Using an external active crossover, the main output signal of a mixing console is
split into two signals. One signal covers the lower frequency range and the other
signal covers the mid and high frequency range. The recommended crossover
frequency is 150 Hz. Then, the mid-high frequency signal is connected to a stereo
power amplier. A VP series loudspeaker is connected to each of the amplier
outputs. The low-frequency signal is connected to an additional power amplier,
which powers two VP1800S subwoofers.

5.2 Full-range stereo operation

with oor monitors

This example applies to the VP1220, VP1220F, VP1520, and VP2520.

This example is a variation of the example above, with the addition of several
VP1220F oor monitors. Two separate monitor outputs from the mixing
console are connected to the inputs of a stereo power amplier. A VP1220F is
connected to each amplier output, and a second VP1220F is connected to the
parallel outputs of the rst set of VP1220F monitors.
