Mixer; Sub Switch; Main In; Stereo/Mono Switch - YORKVILLE YXL Series Owner's Manual

9. Mixer

Channel Level Controls & Clip LEDs
The channel level controls adjust the input sensitivity and the level of the channel's signal being
sent to the Master. The clip LEDs illuminate 3 dB before clipping and are affected by both the
source's gain signals and each corresponding channel level control.
USER TIP: When using the mixer, the Master control should be adjusted to control the suitable
overall level of the YXL Series Powered Enclosure for the application.
NOTE: Adjustments of the gain for the Bluetooth® source can be made on the source device.
Channel 1 Mic / Instrument In
Any standard dynamic, condenser or phantom powered microphone may be connected to the Mic
input, phantom power is built-in. The 1/4-inch TRS Instrument input is optimized for instruments
such as guitars, basses or keyboards. Do NOT use both XLR and 1/4-inch inputs simultaneously.
NOTE: Some condenser microphones, that don't use batteries, may require phantom power.
TECH NOTE: The function of the fixed 90 Hz high pass filter on Channel 1 is to minimize low
frequency rumble when an acoustic instrument is used. It also helps remove the boominess
when using the Microphone.
Channel 2 Mic / Line In
Any standard dynamic, condenser or phantom powered microphone may be connected to the
Mic input, phantom power is built-in. The 1/4-inch TRS input can be used with any line source
such as a CD player or an electronic instrument with a line output. It is always recommended to
use balanced sources. This helps prevent the risk of hum or buzz associated with unbalanced
connections, especially if the cable is long or the source is operated from a separate AC power
connection. Do NOT use both XLR and 1/4-inch inputs simultaneously.
Channel 3 Stereo Aux In
The 1/8-inch Line input jack is a typical 'stereo' audio input which properly sums the left and right signals
from stereo sources such as MP3 players. When the mixer is set in Stereo Mode the right output will
appear at the Link Output allowing a pair of linked YXL cabinets to give you stereo playback.
NOTE: Channel 3's 1/8-inch TRS Line input and Bluetooth® can be used simultaneously.

10. Sub Switch

For operation with a subwoofer, the Sub switch shuts off the low frequency boost and filters out
signals below 100 Hz. This switch only affects the signals to the internal amplifier and does not
affect signals going out from the onboard mixer, or to signals passing through the Link connections.

11. Main In

The Main In and L/Link connectors allow additional powered enclosures to be driven from a
single source. You can Link up to 16 YXL Series powered enclosures! The Main In jack is the
correct input to use when driving the YXL Series Powered Speaker with an external mixer or from
another YXL link output.
TECH NOTE: The Main In and L/Link jacks operate at line level (+4 dBu) to achieve full power.
When operating from signals that are not as strong, use the Line inputs of the first cabinet in
the chain. The Link jacks are high quality balanced inputs with very good common mode (hum)
rejection. To ensure maximum hum rejection, the proper balanced cables must be used.
NOTE: A maximum of 3 YXL Series Control Panel mixers can be used when Linking YXL
Series Powered Enclosures.

12. Stereo/Mono Switch

The Stereo/Mono Switch works in conjunction with the L/Link out jacks. If a single YXL Series
Powered Enclosure is used as the signal source, the originating cabinet will either be mono
or Right channel only depending on the switch position. When in the out position (R), the Left
channel is routed to the output of the link. When the switch is selected, the output of the Link is
Mono (stereo signals summed). This allows a pair of "Linked" YXL cabinets to give you stereo
playback. Mono sources will still play normally through both cabinets.
