Thank you

Thank you for purchasing one of our EUROLIVE VP series

loudspeakers. These loudspeakers oﬀer powerful, pristine sound

reinforcement in a lightweight, portable package. Furthermore,

they can act as pieces to an expandable sound system, with both

¼" TS and professional locking-style inputs and outputs, pole

mounting sockets and recessed handles. Heavy duty low-frequency

drivers deliver thumping bass and powerful midrange clarity while

high-frequency compression drivers cut through the mix with

smooth, shimmering treble. The VP1800S subwoofer matches

perfectly with the full range counterparts to create an absolutely

massive sound. We’re certain these versatile loudspeakers will bring

you years of faithful sound reinforcement and ensure that your

music is heard the way it should be!

Connections Fig. 2.1 Connector panel Fig. 2.3 ¼" TS loudspeaker connector [1] The VP series features two locking professional loudspeaker [1] connectors that are wired in parallel. You can connect one of the connectors to the output on your power amp and tap into the signal from the amp on the second connector, in order, for example, to feed this signal into an additional loudspeaker.

Avoid placing full-range loudspeakers in a corner or right next to a wall. This enhances the low frequencies and can cause the sound to get muddy. Subwoofers may be placed almost anywhere since low frequencies are not highly directional. Make sure that the loudspeakers are not in a place where they could be knocked over by dancing audience members, overly eccentric stage performers, sudden earthquakes, etc.

In this example, the main output signal of a mixing console is connected to a power amplifier. Both the outputs and inputs are stereo. A full-range VP series loudspeaker is connected to each of the amplifier outputs, and these loudspeakers reproduce the entire frequency range. 5.

5.3 Two-way stereo operation with a crossover, full-range loudspeakers and subwoofers This example applies to the VP1800S in combination with the full-range loudspeakers (VP1220, VP1520, and VP2520). Using an external active crossover, the main output signal of a mixing console is split into two signals. One signal covers the lower frequency range and the other signal covers the mid and high frequency range. The recommended crossover frequency is 150 Hz.
