HiSys 215XT

Low Frequency Enclosure

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction

Thank you for choosing PeaveyÕs HiSys 215XT low frequency speaker enclosure as part of your sound
reinforcement system. We take great pride in the design and manufacture of our units and you can expect top
performance and reliability. Your HiSys enclosure has been rigorously tested before packing and despatch to
your dealer.

Impedance

The HiSys 215XT is a nominal 4 ohms.

Crossover

The practice of bi-amplification allows full control over the performance of the drivers used in the HiSys
215XT. For optimum performance, no internal passive crossover is fitted to the HiSys 215XT. An electronic
crossover or module will be required with a crossover point of between 100 and 250Hz. We recommend
PeaveyÕs PL-100, PL-150 or PL-250 when using the CS series of power amplifiers fitted with crossover
islands.

Satellite pole facility

We have equipped your HiSys 215XT low frequency enclosure with a top-mounted stand adapter. By using
the correct satellite pole (not supplied) simply mount your satellite onto the HiSys 215XT. Suitable satellites
are PeaveyÕs HiSys 1,2,5 or 6XT. Larger HiSys enclosures such as the HiSys 3 and 4 are not fitted with a
stand adapter but may be stacked with the HiSys 215XT. Stand poles are available from your Peavey dealer.

The HiSys 215XT uses the PS-SP......PEAVEY PART # 0708.

Connection in bi-amp mode

From the power amplifier low pass output connect to the input of the HiSys 215XT using Neutrik pins 1+ and
1-. Configure the HiSys 1,2,3,4,5 or 6XT in full range mode (see relevant operating guide). From the
amplifier hi pass output connect to the HiSys 1,2,3,4,5 or 6XT input using Neutrik pins 1+ and 1-.

Connection in tri-amp mode

For maximum performance, the HiSys 215XT low frequency enclosure can be tri-amped with the HiSys
1,2,3,4,5 or 6XT. Configure the HiSys 1,2,3,4,5 or 6XT to its bi-amp mode (refer to the relevant operating
guide). Two crossover points are now required. For the low frequency enclosure, select between 100 and
250Hz and for the HiSys 1,2,4 or 6XT, 1200Hz (with 22XT compression driver EQ). The HiSys 3 and 5XT
will need a crossover point of 2000Hz with no EQ. Simply connect the low pass to the input of the low
frequency enclosure using Neutrik pins 1+ and 1-. Connect the mid pass to the input of the HiSys 1,2,3,4,5 or
6XT using Neutrik pins 1+ and 1-. Finally, connect the hi pass to the input of the HiSys 1,2,3,4,5 or 6XT
using Neutrik pins 2+ and 2-.

Speakon Cable Wiring

Your HiSys enclosure is fitted with low loss Neutrik input sockets, either of which must be wired to a regular

twin conductor cable of adequate gauge using a 4-pole Neutrik plug (not supplied)..... .PEAVEY PART #
