HOOK 2. QUICK START - PASSIVE SPEAKER CABINET UP Passive, Full-range, two speakers. This is the simplest set-up. You just need a mixer and a stereo amplifier. It is good for small club gigs, disco,etc. Make all initial connections with all the equipment powered off, and ensure that all the main volume controls are turned down completely. 1).
HOOK 2. QUICK START - PASSIVE SPEAKER CABINET UP If you use a powered mixer for the passive speakers, it is no need to use an amplifier. make sure all the main volume controls of your power mixer are turned down completely. 1). Connect one side of the speaker cable to the SPEAKER OUT of your powered mixer and the other side to the Input socket of your Elvis speaker cabinet. 2).
HOOK 2. QUICK START - PASSIVE SPEAKER CABINETS UP Passive, Full-range, four speakers. It is similar to the first set-up but four speakers are connected instead of two. 1).Follow the same steps as described above. 2).Connect the THROUGH socket of the first Elvis cabinet to the INPUT socket of the second Elvis cabinet. NOTE: Every time you connect Elvis cabinets this way your parallel them to the output of the amplifier that will read half of the impedance of one speaker.
HOOK 2. QUICK START - PASSIVE SPEAKER CABINETS UP Passive two subwoofers and two satellite speakers. With this example, the stereo amplifier drives both the subwoofers and the satellites. In this case we do not call them full-range anymore because they receive a signal from the subwoofer that is already xovered at 125 Hz. In this way, the high energetic content of the low frequencies is limited to the subwoofer and the satellite's woofer act like a mid-woofer. 1).
HOOK 2. QUICK START - ACTIVE SPEAKER CABINETS UP Active, Full-range, two speakers. It is similar to the passive example but you do not need a power amplifier in between the mixer and the 2 ELVIS speakers Make all initial connections with all the equipment powered off, and ensure that all the main volume controls are turned down completely. 1).
HOOK 2. QUICK START - ACTIVE SPEAKER CABINETS UP Active, Full-range, multiple speakers. This solution is particularly flexible when you have a large stage and for fixed installations where you want to send the same signal to different zones like in a Bar, Pub, Restaurant, Church, etc. Each ELVIS cabinet has its own volume control so you can adjust different volumes in different zones. 1). Follow the above steps connecting the MAIN OUTPUTS of the mixer to the LINE INPUTS of 2 Elvis active cabinets. 2).
HOOK 2. QUICK START - ACTIVE SPEAKER CABINETS UP Active, two satellite speakers & two subwoofers. In this example, the mixer is connected to the ELVIS subwoofers and then a 125 Hz xovered line signal is sent to the respective satellites. In this way, the high energetic content of the low frequencies is limited to the subwoofer and the satellite' s woofer act like a mid -woofer. As a consequence the satellites built-in amplifier is not stressed by low frequency content. 1).

LINE OUT at + 4dB on XLR connector LINE IN at + 4dB on COMBO connector. Ground lift Switch. POWER, green LED, indicate ON status.
HOOK 4. WIRE CONNECTIONS UP -. For Passive Speaker Cabinets Please only use the power connectors to make connections with other signal source equipment for the passive speaker cabinets. The power connector has four terminals: 1+, 1-, 2+, 2-. 1- 2- 1+ 2+ In our cabinets, only 1+/1- are used to connect the Speaker+/Speaker-, and 2+/2are not used. -.
