Page 9: Introduction
The PSX combines Class D amplification, powerful on-board DSP and networking capability with a 15” (380 mm) LF driver in a reflex enclosure. The PSX is intended to be used in conjunction with active or passive full-range loudspeakers, extending the system’s overall LF response. It is ideal for use with Martin Audio’s XD15, XD12 or DD6 cabinets. -
Page 10: Overview
USER GUIDE OVERVIEW The PSX is an active subwoofer with a single 15” bass driver. It is intended to be used in conjunction with passive, full-range cabinets such as Martin Audio Models DD6, XD12 or XD15. It may also be used with similar, compatible cabinets from other manufacturers. It has an integral, specifically-designed, two-channel DSP amplifier module: one channel drives the internal subwoofer driver, the other is available to drive the passive cabinet(s) it is used with. - Page 11 USER GUIDE The two versions of the PSX can be distinguished by the visibility of the IP24 Marking. Below is a photograph of the non-IP rated PSX, which just has a bezel trim (shown above) on the amplifier faceplate. This bezel covers the IP24 rating plate, clearly indicating that it does not comply in this format.

(Part No. ASF14103), which allows operation over 75 m of Cat 5 cable. It is a self- contained unit which is small enough to be attached to rear of the PSX cabinet using Velcro or similar (if wished); this arrangement would help to keep on-stage wiring tidy. -

A female Neutrik® NL4 socket is fitted, which carries the output of the power amplifier‘s second channel. As the PSX will always be used in conjunction with a full-range speaker system (“a satellite”), it may be convenient, in the case of passive speakers, to use this to drive the satellite. -
