S2125A

Introduction

The LS2100P is a premium quality integrated subwoofer and
power amplifier. Created as an easy-to-setup
addition to any P.A., the LS2100P will extend
the bass of a typical sound system with the
least amount of complication. The LS2100P
has been intended to operate primarily
with line level signals (with the option to
accept Speaker Level signals).

Configuration

The LS2100P may be used in several different
configurations. The basic system is a single
LS2100P used for each full range enclosure
or multiple LS2100Ps along with individual full
range enclosures. The LS2100P accepts, and
combines, the signals from separate line level
(e.g. Left and Right) sources. Using the Mono
Blend XLR input combines the second line level signal
properly to drive the internal speakers and does not
affect the stereo separation of the full range enclosures. When
used in a setup where only one signal is provided to a speaker, such as a mono system or stereo
with more than one LS2100P, you can use any of the Link jacks.

1. Input Level Switch

The Input Level switch is provided to switch
the Input Level between line level and
speaker level. This switch should be set to
speaker level when the LS2100P is fed from
the output of an amplifier or ‘powered’ mixer.
Do not plug in two Speaker Level sources to
one LS2100P. The line level position is for use
when the LS2100P is fed a signal directly from
a processor, electronic crossover or the output
of an ‘unpowered’ mixer. When using the line
level mode, the use of balanced (Tip, Ring,
Sleeve) and/or XLR cables will reduce the
unit’s sensitivity to hum and buzz.

2. LS2100P Level Control

The LS2100P Level control adjusts the
amount of bass added to the sound system
by the LS2100P. This adjusts for the relative
sensitivity of the companion full range
speakers and the desired system frequency
response. This control should be set by
listening while operating at a medium level
and then not changed. It is not possible to
set this control properly at high levels since
the limiter is determining the output level.

A setting of 0 dB on the LS2100P Level
control is the correct starting point when
setting up a sound system. From there,

adjustments can be made for the best sound.
The 0 dB mark refers to the setting that will
give full power when the line input is used
and the input signal is at a level of +4 dBV.

3. Shape Control

The Shape control enables tweaking of the
most effective sub frequency, 50 Hz. You can
boost or cut the equalization of the enclosure
(50Hz) by a range of 6 dB (+ 3dB / -3dB).

4. HF Rolloff Frequency Control

The HF Rolloff Frequency control varies the
frequency at which the LS2100P rolls off the
high frequencies. This provides part of a
crossover function. This crossover function
also combines with the natural low frequency
rolloff inherent of the full range enclosure
(when the LS2100P is not used with an élite
processor). An elite processor may be used
to provide the LF rolloff of the full range
loudspeaker. Ideally the LS2100P would then
be wired ahead of this processor. In this case
the LS2100P HF rolloff should match the LF
crossover point of the elite processor. The
elite processor should be set in the mode
intended for use with a subwoofer. An
elite processor may be used ahead of the
LS2100P in which case the LS2100P HF rolloff
should be set to maximum.

Note: The LS2100P built-in stand mounting adapter can be used with Yorkville SW-Teletube accessory to support

many of our élite enclosures. The support tube can be adjusted up to it’s full 5-foot 4-inch extension safely as long

as the LS2100P is not inclined more than 10° (10-degrees). Maximum pole extension for mounted enclosures is

48-inches for 85 lb. enclosures and 60-inches for enclosures that are less then 55 lbs.

WARNING: Larger or heavier cabinets should not be used!

The Link jacks are
set up to make it
easy to hook up
your LS2100P to
any audio system
with a minimum of
hassles. SInce all
of the Link jacks
are connected
in parallel, you
can use them to
daisy-chain other LS2100Ps or full range
enclosures.

Note: the Mono Blend Input is intended
for Line Level signals only!

For normal operation, connect the LS2100P
just like an ordinary speaker along with the full
range enclosures. Set the Input Level switch
to Speaker if the signal is coming directly from
a power amplifier, ‘powered’ mixer, or other
powered source. If the LS2100P is receiving the
signal from a non-powered mixer, a line level
signal processor (as in an equalizer) or another
line-level source, set the input switch to Line.

The LS2100P may be plugged in before or
after the full range enclosure. The LS2100P
does not alter the signal to the daisy chained
enclosures and will not draw any power from
the host amplifier/processor driving them.
Also, note that an external crossover is not
necessary when using the LS2100P.

As well as accommodating full range
enclosures, the Link jacks allow many LS2100Ps
to be connected in a string (parallel). There

is no practical limit
to the number of
LS2100Ps that may
be connected
together.

6. Mono Blend Input Jack

The Mono Blend
Input jack enables
you to connect

a secondary line
level signal to the system without externally
summing the two signals (e.g. Left and
Right). This is helpful when you are adding
a single LS2100P to a stereo system. By
using this input for your secondary signal,
it is blended internally with the Link input
but isolated to prevent interaction of those
signals.

7. Protection

The LS2100P has circuitry to prevent clipping,
over current and over excursion. At high levels
the limiter will limit the gain of the LS2100P and
hence if the user attempts to set the subwoofer
level control at a high level, the resulting setting
will be incorrect. The level control should be set
while operating at low levels (under 10 watts). If
the level control is set too high due to setting it
at high operating levels the input circuit will clip
and the dynamics of the bass will be lost. The
Red Clip indicator will signify when this occurs.
This can happen without audible distortion
since the filters will filter out the distortion.
