Introduction
As a leading manufacturer in the A/V industry, Sony offers a wide range of
public address and sound reinforcement products utilizing sophisticated Sony
audio, wireless and interfacing technologies to provide a comprehensive business
and industrial product line.
In 2002, Sony introduced an innovative all-in-one system concept for multimedia
presentations, the SRP-X700P Digital Powered Mixer. Designed to function as
the central control hub for the integration of video, audio and PC media sources,
this mixer allows for rich content and multimedia presentation systems to be
easily configured, without integrating several separate A/V presentation devices.
Best suited for use with in mid- to large-scale conference rooms, seminar rooms,
and audio-visual rooms, the SPR-X700P is now widely accepted in many different
arenas including education, and the corporate and public sectors.
In 2005, expanding on this all-in-one concept, Sony introduced the SRP-X500P
This cost-effective mixer is an ideal choice in small to mid-scale presentation
systems that are typically used in conference rooms, corporate boardrooms,
classrooms, and houses of worship.
Soon after the launch of the SRP-X500P, however, system integrators and
installers were confronted with questions: What is the best choice for a specific
application – the SRP-X500P or the SRP-X700P? What are the differences
between these two mixers?
To help answer these questions, this guide provides the following useful
information:
• Using the maximum functionality and performance of the SRP-X500P
• Understanding the differences between the SRP-X500P and the SRP-X700P
• Establishing an effective system using the key features of the SRP-X500P
• Professional audio terminologies related to the SRP-X500P and SRP-X700P
We hope this guide serves as a valuable asset to your SRP Series system
ation activities.

Differences Between
the SRP-X500P and SRP-X700P
2-1. Features
SRP-X700P
The SRP-X700P Digital Powered Mixer has been designed
for multimedia presentation systems that are required to
process material from a wide range of sources including
microphones, video, audio, DVD players, audio tape
recorders, and PCs. It incorporates the functionality of
seven major presentation devices – including a video/RGB
switcher, audio mixer, wireless tuner slots, sound processor,
and two-channel digital power amplifier – in a compact
3U-high chassis. Equipped with a comprehensive remote
control capability, and a variety of interfaces, the SRP-X700P
can easily be configured into a flexible system, and is an
ideal mid- to large-scale presentation system. The main
features of the SRP-X700P are as follows:
• Processes and mixes six microphone inputs (4 MIC,
2 MIC/LINE)
(Audio input CH1/CH2 is compatible with wired and
wireless microphones)
• Eight BUS outputs and two REC outputs to configure a
large system
• Built-in high-powered two-channel digital power
amplifier: 150 W + 150 W (8 Ω)
• Support for 5.1-channel surround audio input/output
• Comprehensive remote control of the SRP-X700P and
external peripherals such as a projector via a wide array
of interfaces (USB, RS-232C, Parallel, Control S)
Supplied SRP-X700P User Control P
•
easy system setup and operation from a PC
anel software for
SRP-X500P
Inheriting rich features from the SRP-X700P, the SRP-X500P
provides a cost-effective solution and is ideal for use in
small to mid-scale presentation systems. For smooth
control over presentations, there is an easy-to-use frontpanel layout, providing instant-access controls. A built-in
four-channel power amplifier eliminates the need for
additional power amplifiers, enhancing the all-in-one
system concept.
The SRP-X500P offers nine system presets (factory default
system settings) in its memory, enabling quick setup of the
audio system by recalling the one best suited for each
venue. The main features of the SRP-X500P are as follows:
• Processes and mixes four microphone inputs
(Audio input CH1/CH2 is compatible with wired and
wireless microphones)
• Built-in four-channel digital power amplifier:
90 W + 90 W + 50 W + 50 W (8 Ω)
• Nine system presets stored in memory – allows simple
system configuration
• Easy-to-use front-panel layout with hardware switches
for projector controls and feedback reducer function
• Supplied front cover to prevent accidental operation

Setting up the SRP-X500P
4-1. SYSTEM TYPE
What is a “SYSTEM TYPE”?
The SRP-X500P offers nine factory default system settings
called “SYSTEM TYPE” in its memory, enabling efficient
audio adjustment. Depending on the type of room,
speaker locations, and speaker system configurations, you
can quickly configure an audio system by recalling the bestsuited preset for each venue. If your requirements cannot
be managed by one of the nine system presets provided,
you can easily customize all system settings using the
supplied SRP-X500P Manager software.
SYSTEM TYPE 1, 2 (for AV Presentation Rooms)
SYSTEM TYPE 1 and 2 are suitable for AV presentation
rooms. This type of room needs clear voice reproduction
from microphones, and vivid sound from AV equipment
such as DVD and CD players. Satisfying both requirements,
the following may be the best speaker configuration:
• Output microphone audio from ceiling speakers to
enhance clarity
• Output AV equipment audio from the front speakers in
stereo
For ceiling speakers, both multi-connected high-impedance
speakers and high-quality low-impedance speakers can be
used.
The SRP-X500P is equipped with a four-channel digital
power amplifier (SP1 to SP4). Low-impedance speakers can
be connected to SP1 and SP2, while SP3 and SP4 can be
switched between high- and low-impedance modes. This
means you can configure systems as follows:
• SYSTEM TYPE 1: a pair of front speakers and
high-impedance ceiling speakers (70V Line)
• SYSTEM TYPE 2: a pair of front speakers and
low-impedance ceiling speakers (Lo-imp)
