If your system uses a standard stereo power amp and passive full range enclosures, like the Samson EX10, the
EX500 is easily interfaced for extended bass. Below is a typical system set-up using the EX500 with a mixer,
stereo power amp and a pair of passive satellite loudspeakers.The EX500’s inputs and outputs utilize industry
standard XLR connectors. For a detailed wiring diagram, see the section EX500 Connections on page 12.
Follow the steps below the diagram to set up your system.
• Lower your mixer’s master outputs to all the way off.
• Connect the mixer’s left output to the left-side EX500’s left input and the mixer’s right out-
put to the right-side EX500’s right input. Now connect the left-side EX500’s left output to
the left input of the power amplifier and the EX500’s right output to the the power amp’s
right input. Run your speaker cables from the power amp’s out-
puts to the left and right satellite speakers. Switch both the
Stereo/Mono selector switches to the Stereo position.
• Now adjust the crossover SWEEP to the desired frequency.
For the Expedition EX10 select 80-100Hz. If you are using
another brand of speakers as satellites with the EX500, consult
their respective owners manuals for the recommended
crossover point.
• Set the level of your power amplifiers to the normal operating
level. Run an audio signal (like some music from a CD)
through your mixer and raise the level to a comfortable listening
level. Now slowly raise the EX500 Level control and listen to
the low frequency output. Adjust the EX500 to the level of low
frequency output that you like. Now when you raise and lower
your mixer’s output, the EX500 and satellites will track at the
same relative volume.
