New Compact PA System Added to Yorkville's éXcursion Line
 May 8, 2005
Yorkville Sound expands the éXcursion line with
the addition of an active 950-watt three-way complete PA system solution for
live sound or mobile DJ applications.
The élite éXcursion 1000 system is an active stereo PA centered around one 15-inch subwoofer and two
8-inch / 1-inch satellite loudspeakers. The core of the élite éXcursion 1000
is the efficient active subwoofer that also houses the electronics
for the entire system.
Five separate power amplifiers are integrated into the electronics of the
active subwoofer. A single 650-watt power module drives the 15-inch
subwoofer, while two 125-watt amplifiers drive the 8-inch mid frequency
drivers in the compact satellite speakers, and two additional 25-watt
amplifiers drive the satellite's 1-inch horns.
An integrated electronic crossover network ensures an acoustically perfect
transition between the subwoofer and the bi-amplified mid and high
components of the satellite speakers. Opto-limiter circuitry in the
crossover network provides an unobtrusive and 'musical sounding' compression
that not only protects the speaker components, but also ensures balanced and
clear reproduction from the satellite cabinets.
XLR and 1/4-inch TRS balanced inputs ensure the élite éXcursion 1000 can be
connected to any mixer source. Great care was taken during the initial
circuit design to ensure good common mode rejection (50 / 60-cycle hum
rejection) at the input so this PA system is as free from extraneous noise
as possible while in use. Separate gain controls for subwoofer and for the
right and left satellite cabinets are easily accessible from the back panel.
Warning lights show the user when the system is limiting or clipping at the
input.
The éXcursion 1000 nests into one convenient package for transportation and
storage. A detachable caster dolly is included with the system ensuring
easy and safe transport. The caster kit
from the élite éXcursion 1000 does not remain attached to the subwoofer when
the system is in use, eliminating caster buzz and rattle during live
performances. All of the cabinets in
the élite éXcursion1000 are made with plywood, not MDF or composites.
