The concept behind the design of the élite éXcursion1000 was
simple, –create a powerful, yet highly mobile active stereo PA
and club system. Striking the right balance between portability
and presence, Yorkville's designers selected a 15-inch bass driver
capable of handling a booming 650 watts and paired it with two 8-
inch/1-inch satellite loudspeakers delivering a crisp 150 watts a side; total output of over 950 watts. That's enough
for the experienced club veteran, all in a single package (and it's compact enough for one-night stands).
The heart of the élite éXcursion1000 is the active subwoofer unit. Housing the 15-inch driver, input section,
electronic crossover networks and the five integrated power amplifier modules that drive the entire éXcursion1000
system, this core unit is powered by a single AC line cord. To ensure trouble-free transport, the system comes
complete with a swivel caster dolly and Velcro™ tie downs to allow for its nested satellite cabinets. With its
quick and convenient setup, teardown, and a minimum of cabling and connectivity to get in the way onstage, the
éXcursion1000 is an ideal solution wherever portability is an issue. And unlike competing PA system solutions,
the caster kit for the éXcursion1000 is fully detachable, eliminating caster buzz and rattle during performance.
The full-range satellite speakers are driven by the subwoofer through two 8M Speakon™ fourline-cables
(included). This four-wire design allows the internal electronic crossover network to deliver an acoustically perfect
transition between subwoofer and satellite. Experienced design of the active bi-amp circuitry delivers 125 watts to
each of the 8-inch drivers and 25 watts to the 1-inch horns with precision, allowing unsurpassed efficiency and
clarity. Opto-limiter circuitry in the crossover network provides an unobtrusive and musical-sounding compression
that not only protects the speaker components, but provides balanced program reproduction from the satellite
cabinets. The entire system may be connected to any mono or stereo mixer source through either XLR or 1/4-inch
TRS balanced inputs. And true to Yorkville's long-standing commitment to quality, the éXcursion1000 cabinets are
a rugged plywood construction – we never use fiberboard or composites.
A complete, self contained powered system with passive and active crossover networks, equalization, and
separate stereo and subwoofer level controls included, the élite éXcursion1000 is the ultimate in compact live/DJ
systems. This is a PA that is truly "Plug and Play."
