Floor Monitor Enclosures

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Full Range Operation

Thank you for choosing either PeaveyÕs HiSys 1MXT or 2MXT floor monitors 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 1MXT or 2MXT has been rigorously tested before packing and despatch to your dealer. A
built-in crossover is fitted to optimise performance under variable conditions and the unit leaves the factory pre­patched for passive/full range mode. The nominal impedance of the HiSys 1MXT and HiSys2MXT is 8ohms.

Bi-amp Operation

The practice of bi amplification allows full control over the performance of the individual drivers used in these
monitors. To change the enclosure from passive to bi amp mode or vice versa, it is necessary to gain access to the
internal crossover board. The correct procedure is as follows:-

1. Remove the ten screws retaining the right hand handle (enclosure facing you). Remove the handle. The
crossover board can be viewed through the opening and two large sockets will be visible.

2. The lower of these white sockets is for passive operation. The upper socket is for bi-amp operation.

3. As the enclosure leaves the factory pre- patched for passive use, the plug will be inserted in the lower socket.
Simply pull out the plug and repatch it to the upper socket. The enclosure will now be in bi-amp mode.

N.B. The plug will be very tight in its socket. This is necessary to achieve a low loss connection.

Crossover Selection

When operating in bi-amp mode it is important to select the correct crossover frequency and EQ. For use with
PeaveyÕs CS Series power amplifiers with crossover islands we recommend a PL-1200EQ.

For use with other electronic crossovers and configurations, consult your Authorised Peavey Dealer. NOTE! EQ is
required for the 22XT compression driver.

Speakon Cable Wiring

Your HiSys floor monitor is fitted with two low loss parallel Neutrik input sockets which must be wired to a regular
twin conductor cable of adequate gauge using a 4 pole Neutrik plug, Peavey part #00712570 (not supplied). Either
socket may be used as the input. The spare socket allows feedthrough connection to another Hisys monitor (daisy
chaining).

IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY CONSULT YOUR AUTHORISED PEAVEY DEALER
