Using the System Normal set up The EPAK2500 is designed to actively power one ES1.0 cabinet and associated subwoofer systems. For Normal Mode operation signal is applied to the ‘Main Input’ connector and the ‘Insert’ switch would be in the ‘Disengage’ position. Six different combinations of subwoofers setup are accommodated for when using the EPAK2500. The combinations are as follows: EPAK2500 Setting 1 2 3 4 5 6 Setting 1 Subwoofer configuration 1 x ES1.5 2 x ES1.5 3 x ES1.5 1 x ES2.5 or 2 x ES2.
Using the System Using the subwoofer insert The subwoofer insert point gives you the ability to ‘insert’ a signal processing device into the ES subwoofer signal chain. For instance in some instances it may be necessary to ‘delay’ the signal going to the subwoofer using a delay line. The Main Input is used as the system input, as per Normal Mode, but the subwoofer insert switch is switched to ‘Engage’.
