Warning:
When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
Power Sources:
Your unit should be connected to a power source only of the voltage specified in the owners manual or as marked on the unit. This unit has a polarized plug. Do not use with an extension cord or receptacle unless the plug can be fully inserted. Precautions should be taken so that the grounding scheme on the unit is not defeated.
Hazards:
Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The product may fall, causing serious personal injury and serious damage to the product. Use only with cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when installing the product and use mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing water; no objects filled with liquids should be placed on the apparatus.
Terminals marked with the “lightning bolt” are hazardous live; the external wiring connected to these terminals require installation by an instructed person or the use of ready made leads or cords.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.
Power Cord:
The AC supply cord should be routed so that it is unlikely that it will be damaged. If the AC supply cord is damaged DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT.
Service:
The unit should be serviced only by qualified service personnel.
AVIS:
AFIN DE REDUIRE LES RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE, N’ENLEVEZ PAS LE COUVERT (OU LE PANNEAU ARRIERE). NE CONTIENT AUCUNE PIECE REPARABLE PAR L’UTILISATEUR.

DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED BY
YORKVILLE SOUND • TORONTO, CANADA
INTRODUCTION
The Pulse Powered Subwoofer PS210P is a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier designed to drive the unit all in one easy-to-connect package. It is intended to be used to extend the bass of a typical sound system with a minimum of complication and hence is intended primarily to operate with speaker level signals.
FEATURES
1. INPUT LEVEL SWITCH
A switch is provided to switch input levels between Speaker level and Line level. Line level operation is only appropriate when used with an active crossover with a crossover frequency of 125 Hz or lower. All other modes of operation should be done at speaker level with the level switch set to SPEAKER.
2. INPUT GROUND SWITCH
The PS210P expects the source feeding it to be grounded. A system comprised entirely of ungrounded equipment may cause the PS210P to hum or buzz. If you have a buzz or hum problem, try setting the switch to the grounded position (GND). The switch should otherwise be left in the ungrounded position (GND LIFT). Do not use the grounded position with an amplifier operating in bridged mode or when the sleeve of the input signal is live.
3. ACTIVE LIMITING EQUALIZATION
The PS210P contains circuitry designed to achieve maximum utilization of both the amplifier and the speakers without distorting audibly. At low to moderate power levels the very low frequency sounds are electronically boosted to extend the response to 45 Hz. As the sound level is increased the PS210P reduces the boost and may even cut the 45 to 60 Hz response in order to achieve adequate output without over excursion of the speakers or running out of amplifier power. At extremely loud levels most of the PS210P's output is concentrated around 90 Hz where the bass is
most audible. As the input signal is increased the PS210P reduces its sensitivity to prevent distortion.
At high power levels when the limiter is operating, increasing the subwoofer level control will not increase the output. Do not increase setting while operating at high levels.
The limiter circuitry operates to prevent over excursion of the speakers, over heating of the voice coil and excessive clipping of the amplifier.
4. SUBWOOFER LEVEL CONTROL
The subwoofer level control on the rear panel of the PS210P is intended to adjust the amount of bass added to the sound system by the PS210P. 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.
5. MULTIPLE PS210Ps
As well as accommodating the full range speakers the PARALLEL THRU jacks allow many PS210Ps to be connected in a string (or otherwise in parallel). There is no practical limit to the number of PS210Ps that may be connected together.
6. REAR PANEL TEXT
The rear panel of the PS210P contains a ‘User Note’ which is reprinted on the following page for your convenience.

USER NOTES
For normal operation connect the PS210P just like an ordinary speaker, along with the Full-Range speakers and set the Input Level switch to SPEAKER. If the audio source does not have a ground pin on the AC cord, the Input Ground switch must be set to GROUND (GND). The PS210P may be plugged in before or after the Full-Range speakers. Use the Left and Right Inputs when using a single PS210P in a stereo system. Use either the Left or the Right inputs when using separate PS210P's for each side (or when used in a Mono system). The PS210P does not alter the signal to the Full-Range speakers, and will not draw any power from the host amplifier driving them. Please note that an external crossover is not necessary.
Note: The PS210P built-in stand mounting adapter can be used with Yorkville SW-Teletube accessory to support our E160 cabinets. The support tube can be adusted up to it's full 5'4" extension safely as long as the PS210P is not inclined more than 10°.
WARNING: Larger/heavier cabinets should not be used with the stand mount!
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
The PS210P may be used in several different configurations. The minimum standard system is one PS210P used with a pair of full range speakers. The PS210P accepts separate left and right signals and combines them into one signal to drive the internal speakers.
When used in a setup where only one signal is provided to a speaker, such as a mono system (figure 2) or stereo with more than one PS210P, use either the left or right input (figure 3).
