SYSTEM SET UP - FULL RANGE MODELS PRX600 Amplifier Input Configuration for PRX612M, PRX615M, PRX625 and PRX635 Full-Range Models: Features 1 - EQ BOOST / FLAT: When set in the “FLAT” position, frequency response is linear and unaltered. When “Boost” is selected, internal equalization is applied to enhance low frequency and high frequency response. - Page 20 2 - INPUT MIC / LINE: Allows the selection of different input sensitivities to permit the connection of many different sources, with or without the use of a mixer or external microphone preamplifier. See “Setting Input Sensitivity” on page 24. 3 - LEVEL: Sound level adjustment.
- Page 21 SYSTEM SET UP - SUBWOOFER Models: PRX618S and PRX618S-XLF Subwoofer Features 1 - XOVER IN / OUT: Pressing this button engages a high-pass filter that allows a smooth transition between the subwoofer and a full range speaker connected to the output connector. 2 - POLARITY INVERT: Allows you to set the polarity of the subwoofer to either Normal (no change) or Reverse (inverse polarity).
- Page 22 3 - LEVEL: Sound level adjustment. The 12 o’clock position is a good starting point for most usages. Once the full-range system has been connected the level can be varied to match and deliver the desired balance (for details see Setting the Gain on page 25). 6 - POWER SWITCH: Turns the power on.

Page 23: Setting Input Sensitivity
SETTING THE INPUT SENSITIVITY PRX600 series systems have been designed to allow the connection of a variety of sources. This provides a great deal of versatility, especially with the PRX612M and PRX615M, as a microphone or instrument can be connected directly to the input. Low level outputs from consumer products like MP3 and CD players can also be accommodated. -

Page 25: Application Examples
Basic Sound Reinforcement System This is a very basic sound system. PRX600 series speakers allow the direct connection of sound sources, without the need for extra mixer or pre-amplifier. The XLR or 1/4 inch input jack provides versatility and cabling options and the mic/line input sensitivity selector switch optimizes the speaker gain for the input source. - Page 26 Music Playback Reinforcement with Subwoofer (PRX612M Pole Mounted on a PRX618S) This is a very powerful but flexible combination. The subwoofer provides the extra low frequency extension and also serves as the base for the pole mount. The compact 12 inch satellite system, PRX612M is a perfect match to the subwoofer.
- Page 27 Live Performance Or Music Playback Reinforcement System With Stage Monitors (PRX635 and PRX612M or PRX615M) This is an ideal system when wide coverage and good directivity is required, specifically in highly reverberant rooms. The horn loaded PRX635 3-way system will control the propagation of the sound much better than a conventional 2-way system.
- Page 28 Large Live Performance Or Music Playback Reinforcement System With Stage Monitor (4 x PRX618S-XLF, 4 x PRX625 and 2 x PRX612M) For larger crowds in and outdoors, a flexible system like this will deliver excellent results. The dual 15 inch PRX625 delivers mighty bottom end and crisp highs.
