Two EX500’s can be used with any pair of powered full range enclosures like the Samson EX20 and EX30.
Below is a typical system set-up using two EX500’s with a mixer and a pair of powered satellite loudspeakers.
The EX500’s inputs and outputs utilize industry standard XLR connectors. For a detailed wiring diagram, see the
section EX500 Connections on page 12. Follow the steps below the diagram to set up your system.
• Connect the mixer’s left output to the left-side
EX500’s left input and the mixer’s right output to the
right-side EX500’s right input. Now connect the left-
side EX500’s left output to the input of the left pow-
ered satellite, and right-side EX500’s right output to
the input of the right satellite. Switch both the
Stereo/Mono selector switches to the Stereo posi-
tion.
• Now adjust the crossover SWEEP to the desired fre-
quency. For the Expedition EX20 & EX30 select 80-
100Hz. If you are using another brand of powered
speaker as satellites with the EX500, consult their
respective owners manuals for the recommended
crossover point.
• Lower your mixer’s master outputs to all the way off.
Now set the level of your powered satellites up to the
normal operating level. Run an audio signal (like
some music from a CD) through your mixer and raise
the level to a comfortable listening volume. Now
slowly raise the EX500 Level control and listen to the
low frequency output. Adjust the EX500 to the level
to low frequency output that you like. Now when you
raise and lower your mixer’s output, the EX500 and
satellites will track at the same relative volume.
