Operation with P1200A
Up to two E18-SUBs can be driven by each P1200A power
amplifier channel. Fitting one E18-SUB-CO and one C or E-Series
TOP controller module allows a single mainframe to drive two E18-
SUB and two (E3: four) mid/high cabinets. All cabinets can be
linked together locally and fed by a single four-wire cable from
either mainframe output connector.
E18 Controller module switches
160Hz switch and indicator
If the 160Hz switch is selected (yellow 160Hz LED illuminated), the
upper operating frequency of the system is raised from 110 Hz to
160 Hz. This setting can be used when E18-SUBs are used with the
C6 system - the 160Hz setting on the C6-CO should also be
selected to increase the C6 system's headroom (see C6 data sheet).
Operation with E-PAC
To drive E18-SUB cabinets the E-PAC has to be configured to
E18-SUB mode.
For an E-PAC version 2, the configuration is selected by setting the
appropriate DIP switches on the rear panel. DIP switches 1 and 2
(CUT and HFA) are not functional with the configuration E18-SUB.
For an E-PAC version 3, the configuration is set via a front panel
digital rotary encoder in conjunction with an LCD.
The 160Hz mode of the E18 controller module is not available on
the E-PAC controller.
The E-PAC can drive a single E18-SUB cabinet at an output power
of 300 watts. We do not recommend that two E18-SUB cabinets are
driven in LO IMP mode as the 6 dB reduction in input level to the
loudspeakers results in no gain in acoustical output.
