Configuration
The NX720S can be used in several different configurations. The basic system is a single NX720S used for each full-range loudspeaker (multiple NX720Ss can also be used with individual full-range loudspeakers). A single NX720S can also be used with a stereo system if both Input A and Input B are used (see note, below).
Note: Left and right signals can be directly connected to a single NX720S maintaining their stereo separation. Plug the two audio signals (left and right) into the Input A and Input B jacks, the NX720S combines the line-level signals properly but also allows you to connect the respected left and right full-range powered loudspeakers by connecting them directly to the Thru jacks.
Note: When sending a mono source signal into the NX720S, you can use either Input A or Input B.
1. Input Level Switch
The Input Select switch is provided to choose between line-level and speaker level. The line-level position is for use when the NX720S is fed a signal directly from a processor, electronic crossover or the output of an un-powered mixer. When using the line-level mode, the use of balanced (Tip, Ring, Sleeve) and/or XLR cables will reduce the units sensitivity to hum and buzz. This switch should be set to speaker level when the NX720S is fed from the output of an amplifier or a powered-mixer.
WARNING: Do not plug in two speaker level sources to a single NX720S.
2. NX720S Level Control
The Level control adjusts the amount of bass added to the sound system by the NX720S. This Level Control adjusts for the relative sensitivity of the companion full-range loudspeakers and the desired system frequency response. This control should be set by listening while operating at a medium level and then not changed.
Note: It is not recommended to set this control at high levels since the limiter determines the output level.
Note: A setting of 0 dB on the NX720S Level control is the correct starting point when setting up a sound system. From there, adjustments can be made for the best sound. The 0 dB mark refers to the setting that will give full power when the line input is used and the input signal is at a level of +4 dBV.
3. Boost Frequency Control
The Boost Frequency control allows the user to change the character of the subwoofer sound. This control will have less effect when operating into limiting.
4. HF Rolloff Frequency Control
The HF Rolloff Frequency control varies the frequency at which the NX720S rolls off the high frequencies, which provides part of a crossover function. This crossover function also combines with the natural low frequency rolloff inherent of the full-range loudspeaker (when the NX720S is not used with a separate processor). As an example, a Yorkville élite processor may be used to provide the LF rolloff of the full-range loudspeaker. Ideally the NX720S would then be wired ahead of this processor. In this case the NX720S HF rolloff should match the LF crossover point of the separate processor. A separate processor may be used ahead of the NX720S in which case the NX720S HF rolloff should be set to maximum. Most Yorkville powered loudspeakers include a LF rolloff switch, which makes it unnecessary to use an electronic crossover.
5. Input Jacks
The inputs are set up to make it easy to hook up your NX720S to almost any audio system with a minimum of hassles. There are two groups of input jacks, Input A and Input B. Each set provides a Thru connection to allow daisy-chaining. Input A jacks includes ¼ inch jacks, a male XLR jack and female XLR jack. Input B jacks use a single XLR male jack and a single female jack. If these two sets of jacks are used simultaneously the signal is mono summed within the NX720S to generate the signal to drive the subwoofer.
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the NX720S. The NX720S is a premium-quality integrated subwoofer and power amplifier. Its been designed as an easy-to-setup addition to any P.A. and will extend the bass of a typical sound system with the least amount of complication.
Note: The NX720S is primarily intended to operate with line-level signals, but will also work with speaker level signals.
