Operating/Use

1.The EVP-X12P,X15P,X215P feature 2 x combined jack and XLR inputs.The two stereo inputs are mixed down to mono enabling the connection of stereo output products.

2.Connect the provided power cable to the IEC mains connector on rear of cabinet.

3 Connect the signal cable (balanced or un balanced, see table and description) from audio mixer or processor securely to your EVP-XP unit (the internal amplifier should be off, power down mode). Where possible use quality connectors. Only use screened audio cable for the signal input from the audio mixer or processor. If possible use balanced line signal leads for optimum quality (see description and table of balanced line operation).

4.If using XLR CONNECTORS, insert the XLR until locked in. If using a jack plug insert until secure.

5.Power up audio mixer or processor ensuring connections are made.

6.Power up EVP-XP internal amplifier with levels on zero. Confirm speakers are operating.

7.The EVP-XP all feature a balanced Male XLR connector on the line output.

8.The EVP-X12PM,X15PM has one speaker extension output allowing the addition of another speaker.

Product Features of the EVP-XP Series:

•300W RMS/500W Peak amplifier (EVP-X12P, EVP-X12PM)

•400W RMS/600W Peak amplifier (EVP-X15P,15PM,215P)

•Thermal, DC fault and short circuit protection

•Hi/Low EQ control in the master section

•5 Band Graphic EQ (EVP-X12PM/15PM onlyoonly)

•External speaker output connector (EVP-X12PM/15PM only)

•Integral tripod stand adaptor (except monitors)

•Balanced line output

•Integral, preset limiter prevents clipping distortion

•Combined Jack and XLR balanced input connectors

•Power on and system AGC protect LED indicators

EVPX-15PB and EVPX-18PB Active Subwoofers

•Stereo line input and speaker level input available for the powered subwoofer

•Peak limiter that protects the amplifier and speaker from clipping.

•0°, 180°Phase switch

•Built-in 600 watt (peak), 400 watt (continuous) amplifier

•Thermal, DC fault and short circuit protection

•Power on and system AGC protect LED indicators

•Integral, preset limiter prevents clipping and distortion. Linelevel stereo inputs are summed before being sent to the subwoofer’s internal amplifier. This feature allows the subwoofer to operate in stereo systems using a single subwoofer

A pair of an integral 150Hz, 24dB/Oct crossovers to send a high-pass, balanced, line-level, stereo signal to a pair of powered satellite full-range speakers or an external amplifier for passive satellite speakers.

•A speaker-level, 1/4” TS phone jack is provided. This input is

useful in applications, such as those employing powered mixers, in which it is more practical to bring a full-range, speaker-level signal to the subwoofer amplifier

The EVP-X15/18PB is a 15/18 inch direct-radiating powered subwoofer. A built-in 600 watt (peak) amplifier accepts stereo or mono line level inputs via balanced, XLR connectors as well as single channel speaker level input via a 1/4 inch phone jack. Integral signal processing includes a stereo crossover and

5limiting for the internal amplifier. A pair of XLR out-put connectors may be used to pass the input signals to another system or to send a high-pass, line-level stereo signal to a pair of powered, full-range speakers.

EVP-X12PM/15PM Panel & Description:

1.Level control: The Level control adjusts the overall volume of the amplified signal.

2.5 band EQ: Use this Five-Band Graphic EQ to cut or boost your signal up to 12dB at designed frequency centers. This is useful for reducing low frequency rumble or feedback that often occurs on stage.

3.Parallel Line input and output: These two jacks are provided to supply a signal input to the EVP-X15PM and to allow for daisy chaining the signal to possibly another EVP-X15PM or amplifier combination.

4.Speaker out: The Speaker Out is a post EQ, powered output designed for speakers with a minimum impedance of 8 ohms speaker. This output should be connected only to non-powered monitor speakers. The EVP-X15M is the perfect extension monitor to use in this application.

5.Power switch: use this switch to turn the unit on and off.

6.AC Input connector: The line cord (included) which provides AC power to the unit. Connect the line cord to this connector and to a properly grounded AC supply.

Damage to the equipment may occur if an improper line voltage is used.

NEVER REMOVE OR CUT THE GROUND PIN OF THE LINE CORD PLUG

7.Fuse: If the fuse should fail, it must be replaced with the same type and value in order to avoid damage to the equipment and prevent voiding the warranty.
