Mic Gain Control; Level Control - YORKVILLE YX15P Owner's Manual

YX15P - Active Speaker - 200w, 12 inch / 1 inch
The YX15P offers the best value in a 15-inch and horn active loudspeaker enclosure. The enclosure
is the same proven design as the YX15 passive loudspeaker and uses the same rugged and reliable
speaker components. The biamped 200-watt power module has a minimum of controls yet provides
maximum versatility making the YX15P the ideal solution for many applications.
A 3-band EQ, XLR balanced microphone input as will as an XLR / TRS 1/4-inch balanced combi-jack
line input on the power module means the YX15P can be easily connected to any source and quickly
EQ balanced for the room. An XLR balanced line output allows multiple NX250's to be linked together
for use in an array or for easy distribution around a large room when used as repeater cabinets.
The horn/tweeter amplifier uses two-tier class A/B technology, allowing the horn to produce
clean transients to keep up with the high output of the woofer. The woofer, or low frequency,
amplifier uses class-H 2-tier amplifier technology. This achieves a lighter weight, more efficient
amplifier with higher headroom (and lower operating temperature). Each amplifier has it own
limiter to prevent distortion caused by clipping.
The YX15P enclosure, like all enclosures in the NX loudspeaker line, has been designed for
maximum versatility. The trapezoid box is ideal for mounting in arrays, or for use as a monitor
cabinet (with well-protected inputs and controls). The YX15P can easily be used in any orientation,
and close to walls, floors and in close arrays with multiple cabinets. Particular care was taken
designing the components to reduce extraneous heat production.

1. Mic In
The balanced XLR microphone input can be
used with any dynamic microphone.
2. Line In
The balanced XLR/1/4-inch combi-jack 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. Unlike the Mic In, the
Line In does not have it's own level control so
connection to the Line In and the Mic In at
the same time are not recommended.
3. Mix Out
To allow operation of multiple YX15P
loudspeakers, from one source, this line
output is provided. It should be connected
to the Line In of the next YX15P in the
chain. When connecting multiple YX15P
loudspeakers, the last YX15P in the chain
YX SERIES
should be turned off first (and on last). Each
YX15P should be turned on or off before the
previous YX15P in the chain. This will eliminate
unwanted on/off noises.

4. Mic Gain Control

The microphone level control adjusts the mic
level of the loudspeaker. It also adjusts the mic
level on all YX15P enclosures in the chain (if
multiple YX15P enclosures are used). The main
Level control should be set to maximum when
the microphone is being used.

5. Level Control

The Main level control sets the level of all sound
coming out of the YX15P enclosure. Unlike the
Mic Gain control, this control does not affect
the signal coming out the Mix Out. In systems
using multiple YX15P enclosures the Level
control on each cabinet sets the volume for
that cabinet. When used with a microphone
connected to one YX15P at the beginning
of the chain the Level control will normally
be set to maximum unless it is desired that a
particular cabinet be set quieter than the rest.
When a line source is used the Level control will
