1 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, Yorkvilles 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. Thats enough for the experienced club veteran, all in a single package (and its 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 Yorkvilles 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. Features - The ideal PA system for audiences of up to 300 people. - Truly Plug and Play, all amplification and level controls are built in. - Voiced for prerecorded applications as well as live sound reinforcement. - XLR and 1/4-inch TRS balanced inputs connect easily to any mixer source. - Active crossover networks with integrated power amplification create a seamless balance between subwoofer and full-range, bi-amped stereo satellites. - System nests together for easy transportation and storage. - An ultra quiet, highly efficient, high output, low distortion, lightweight PA solution. - Includes integrated bar handles and stand mount adaptors. - Rugged plywood cabinet construction. - Removable caster kit. - Available in your choice of black carpet (EX1) and black Ultrathane (EX1B) painted finishes P O W E R E D L O U D S P E A K E R S Y S T E M
