Specifications

Processor Control - Full function stereo analog processors that are configurable for passive or
bi-amp operation, as well as live or recorded music applications make sure that your élite system
is always tuned and ready.
Integrated Flypoints - All élite Series Loudspeakers have integrated
reinforced flypoints and pullbacks for easy installation in commercial installs,
clubs and concert halls.
Rugged Driver Mounting System - All élite cabinets feature a specially
reinforced driver mounting system that makes sure the horn drivers will still be
attached to the horns when you get to the show. The ABS or composite horns are
pressure fitted to the driver which is bolted to the internal driver support.
Custom Design Hor
ns
- Custom
ABS plastic and composite horns are specifically
designed for each cabinet and manufactured right in our factory for optimum quality
control. This insures proper waveguide output for better clarity and lower distortion.
Cur
ved Metal Speaker Grilles
- Curved metal grilles absorb shocks evenly to resist
dings and dents while eliminating frequency resonance. The trapezoidal cabinet shape allows
for arrayable performance without phase cancellation.
Rugged Black Carpet Covering - The highly practical carpet that covers the élite cabinets keeps
them looking great over long term use. The two part rubberized glue that is used to attach the carpet ensures
that élite cabinets will stand up against moisture by effectively wrapping the cabinet in a rubber glove.
Recessed Handles -
All élite cabinets feature attractively recessed bar handles. Great care is taken to make sure that
they "stay out of the way", but are easy to get at when you need them.
Flush Mounted Stand Adaptors - Flush-mounted stand adapters in the top of the subs and bottom of the full-range
speakers allow the use of an adjustable Subwoofer
T
ube option which makes setup a breeze by eliminating the need for
speaker stands.
Integrated Wheels - Tilt back wheels and top-mounted handles are standard issue on the larger cabinets and subwoofers.

élite Series Loudspeakers and Subwoofers
Y
orkville’s élite series loudspeaker systems are the result of
years of research, pushing the limits of modern state-of-the-art
sound reinforcement technology
. Engineered for the serious
pro audio user, élite systems are among the most advanced,
most versatile and most efficient high powered portable P.A.
boxes available.
T
oday’s élite Series Cabinets, from the highly efficient two-way
E10 to the 1500-watt E2152 incorporate the most advanced
component protection and crossover technology available
today. They have been carefully designed to bring you the
latest in Yorkville’s advanced loudspeaker engineering.
Innovative Component Protection
Depending on power handling and choice of components used in
the loudspeaker, not all protection systems are created equal. élite
loudspeakers use a combination of proven protection schemes to
ensure maximum reliability, regardless of the application.
Select élite full range cabinets feature seamless driver interaction
through sophisticated high-slope passive networks and the
CTL™ (Current-To-Light) protection scheme. This scheme allows
continued operation by absorbing excess signal in a standard
automotive light bulb, thus preventing HF driver failure. In
extreme conditions, the low-cost light bulb will burn out before
harmful current can damage expensive driver components.
Yorkville’s proven PTC™ high frequency protection is employed
in some higher-powered élite models. PTC™ is an ingenious
current sensing / self-resetting breaker that offers some serious
advantages over current protection schemes used in many
loudspeaker cabinets. This protection scheme, while always
present in the signal path, remains inaudible until it becomes
necessary for it to react. It kicks in at a point where it effectively
reduces output to the horn and protects that diaphragm from
damage due to excessive power input or signal distortion. Unlike
a breaker it does not require a physical reset to allow signal back
to the horn driver, and unlike a bulb or fuse, does not need to be
replaced if the circuit is tripped, and the fuse is blown.
The high-powered E2152 features the ATP™ (Active-Transistor
Protection) system that allows the horn driver to operate at
levels significantly above those required for normal operation.
The ATP™ brickwall element of the protection circuit uses power
transistors configured to operate linearly yet have the fast attack
required to protect against harmful transients. Along with ATP™,
the crossover also incorporates air core coils and polypropylene
capacitors to guarantee reliable and distortion free operation at
extreme levels. The sonic benefit is higher output and greater
transparency when operating at high levels.
