PRECAUTIONS The PRX500 series speakers covered by this manual are not intended for fixed installation and high moisture environments. Moisture can damage the speaker cone and surround and cause corrosion of electrical contacts and metal parts. Avoid exposing the speakers to direct moisture. Keep speakers out of extended or intense direct sunlight. The driver suspension will prematurely dry out and finished surfaces may be degraded by long-term exposure to intense ultra-violet (UV) light. PRX500

The PRX500 Series power amplifier AC Power Requirements Standard PRX500 series speaker systems are equipped with a multi-channe Crown Class-D power amplifier and loudspeaker specific DSP electronics and require appropriate AC power. Before plugging a PRX500 speaker into an outlet ensure that it is able to provide the appropriate AC power as set on the speaker. A robust AC supply is necessary for maximum performance. If the supply is too weak the bass performance may be affected and if it sags (

Operating Temperature The design of the Crown amplifier is such that it is very energy efficient and as a result does not get really hot. In the rare event that it does get too hot it will automatically shut down to protect itself. When its temperature has returned to within its operating range it will turn back on. A Condition under which this may occur is when the system is operated in very high ambient temperatures and the heat sink on the rear of the enclosure is in direct sunlight. Always e

2 - INPUT MIC / LINE: Allows the selection of different input sensitivities to permit the connection of many different sources, with or without the use of a mixer or external microphone preamplifier. See “Setting Input Sensitivity” on page 18. 3 - LEVEL: Sound level adjustment. With the input in the “MIC” position the level can be adjusted over a large range. In the “LINE” position most typical applications will require that the level control is set at 12 o’clock. (More details are outline

SETTING THE INPUT SENSITIVITY PRX500 series systems have been designed to allow the connection of a variety of sources. This provides a great deal of versatility, especially with the PRX512M and PRX515, as a microphone or instrument can be connected directly to the input. Low levels output from consumer products like MP3 and CD players, can also be accommodated. There are two user selectable gain or input sensitivity ranges: Mic and Line. For the majority of applications, the system will be rece
