Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha CXS18XLF, CXS15XLF SUBWOOFER (hereinafter referred to as “CXS”). This product is a speaker designed for live performance, sound reinforcement and fixed installation sound system applications. This manual explains how to install, set up, and configure the connections for the installers, constructors, or general users familiar with speakers. Please read this manual thoroughly before you begin using this product to get the most out of the product.
Functions Front Rear q w e y r t q Dual pole sockets Compatible with commercially available speaker poles of 35 mm diameter and M20 screws. NOTE • For details on installing the wheels or special precautions you should take, please refer to the corresponding manual for the wheels. • Do not install any wheels other than the SPW-1. rt [INPUT/PARALLEL] jacks 35 mm diameter M20 screw If you use the pole socket for mounting of a satellite speaker, observe the conditions below for your safety.
Connection Wiring Wire the plugs as shown below. Use cables specially designed for speakers. When using only the CXS itself, wiring to the 2+ and 2– contacts is unnecessary. When the signal to a full-range speaker, or the signal for cardioid mode are sent together over a single cable using the [OUTPUT] jack, make sure to also wire to the 2+ and 2– contacts. (See “Basic Setting Example” on page 8, and “Cardioid Mode Setup” on page 9.) When using only the CXS itself. When using the [OUTPUT] jack.
Selection and Settings of Processors and Amplifiers In order to take full advantage of the CXS performance, make sure to adjust the cut-off and equalizer (EQ) using a processor/DSP built-in amplifier. When selecting an amplifier, the amplifier should have a similar program (PGM) wattage rating to the speaker. For example, since the PGM rating of the CXS18XLF is 1000 W, an amplifier of 800 W to 1250 W (0.8 to 1.25 times that of 1000 W) should be selected.
Cardioid Mode Setup Because directivity in the low frequency range is weak, the output sound from the subwoofer diffracts not only toward the audience but also to the stage with almost the same sound pressure. By using the Cardioid mode, bass to the audience is summed up and bass to the stage is canceled. This suppresses the bass volume on the stage, providing greater headroom before feedback, and resulting in more powerful bass for the audience.
