Connecting A Powered Sub-Woofer; Connecting A Monitor - Peavey Escort 5000 Operating Manual

Connecting a Powered Sub-Woofer

The Escort 5000 features a Sub-Woofer output that is internally crossed over at
100Hz. This output is line level so it will need to be connected to a POWERED Sub
or a Power Amplifi er that will then drive your passive Subs. Be sure the power for
your Escort and your Sub-Woofer is turned OFF. Insert a 1/4" speaker cable into the
Sub-Woofer Output (Fig.5) on the back of the Escort, then insert the other end of
the speaker cable into your POWERED Sub-Woofer or power amplifi er input.

Connecting a Monitor

The Escort 5000 includes a full-range line level Monitor output. This is to be used
when monitors are required for a performance. This output is line level so you will
need to use POWERED Monitors or a separate power amplifi er to drive passive
monitors. Be sure the power to your Escort and your Monitors is turned OFF. Insert a
1/4" speaker cable into the Monitor Output on the back of your Escort (Fig.6), then
insert the other end of the speaker cable to the input on your POWERED Monitors or
power amplifi er. This output can also be sent to another mixer or recording device to
record the full-range signal from your performance. The level of the monitor mix can
be controlled by the master monitor control (Fig. 6a).
Connecting Microphone(s) or Line Input(s)
The Escort's powered mixer is designed to work with any good-quality, balanced, dynamic or condenser microphone such as Peavey's PV i
®
series of microphones. Connect the microphone to the XLR (three-pin) input connector as shown (Fig.7). If using multiple microphones, connect
them in the order they will be on stage for easy adjustment to each microphone. To connect a line level device such as a keyboard, use a 1/4"
instrument cable and insert into the center of the XLR-1/4" combo connector as shown (Fig.8).
