Operating the EX500
EX500 MONO SUB WITH PASSIVE SATELLITES
If your system uses a standard stereo power amp and passive full range enclosures, like the Samson EX10, the
EX500 is easily interfaced for extended bass. Below is a typical system set-up using the EX500 with a mixer,
stereo power amp and a pair of passive satellite loudspeakers.The EX500Os inputs and outputs utilize industry
standard XLR connectors. For a detailed wiring diagram, see the section EX500 Connections on page 1. Follow
the steps below the diagram to set up your system.

YLower your mixerOs master outputs to all the way off.
YConnect the mixerOs left output to the EX500Os left input and the mixerOs right output to the EX500Os right
input. Now connect the EX500Os left outputs to the left side input of your power amp, and EX500Os right
output to the right side input of your power amp. Run your speaker cables from the power ampOs outputs
to the left and right satellite speakers. Switch the Stereo/Mono
selector switch to the MONO position.
YNow adjust the crossover SWEEP to the desired frequency.

YSet the level of your power amplifiers 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 of low frequen-
cy output that you like. Now when you raise and lower your
mixerOs output, the EX500 and satellites will track at the same
relative volume.
