DESCRIPTION
General
The Xp200A controller is the electronic “heart”
of the Electro-Voice System 200TM Modular Pro
Audio, a multi-element sound reinforcement
system that combines light weight and compact
size with high acoustic output and excellent
sound quality. The Xp200A links together and
enhances the performance of one or more
stereo pairs of the Sx100 or Sx200 full-range
speaker systems and one or more Sb120a
(powered) or Sb120 (nonpowered) bass modules. Full speaker system details may be obtained by requesting the individual engineering
data sheets from Electro-Voice. A typical System 200TM Modular Pro Audio setup is shown in
Figure 7. Other setups, overall system connection details and full operating instructions are
described in the Xp200A Owner’s Manual.
Xp200A frequency response curves are shown
in Figures 1 through 3. Front and rear panel
views are shown in Figures 4 and 5. The block
diagram is shown in Figure 6.
Xp200A Feature Summary
• A unique, low-frequency profile circuit enhances low-frequency performance of both
the Sx100 and Sx200 full-range systems,
and the Sb120a or Sb120 bass modules.
• In a side-chain circuit, low frequencies are
slightly delayed in time as they are boosted,
then summed with the original direct signal.
This combination of delayed and direct
signals changes the relative levels of the
musical fundamental and its harmonics, in
an audibly attractive way. The resultant
modification of timbre is as dynamic and
continually changing as the musical input
itself.
• A Low Frequency Profile control adjusts the
degree of bass enhancement, up to a maximum of 12 dB. An in/out switch makes it
easy to assess the degree of enhancement. An in/out LED indicates when the
circuit is active.
• Input Level and Sub Level controls facilitate
easy balancing of a complete System 200TM.
• A power/clip LED shows constant green
with power on. If clipping occurs, the green
is interrupted by flashes of red.
• The full-range, left and right outputs of the
Xp200A feature a 40-Hz, 24-dB-per-octave
high-pass filter that keeps the bass output
of the Sx100 and Sx200 speaker systems
very tight and clean, by eliminating excessive cone excursion caused by very low,
infrasonic frequencies.
• The mono-summed subwoofer output incorporates 24-dB-per-octave filters that roll
off response above 100 Hz and below
37 Hz for a high degree of placement flexibility and infrasonic protection for the
Sb120a and Sb120 bass modules.
• Inputs and outputs are electronically
balanced, with XLR connectors. Two paralleled sub outputs are provided, for easy
connection of two subwoofer amplifiers or
Sb120a powered bass modules.
• Outputs are compatible with both balanced
and unbalanced loads. A cross-coupled
output circuit automatically senses an unbalanced signal connection and increases
the gain of the circuit by 6 dB to maintain the
same output voltage at the power amplifier
input.
