Introduction  
Congratulations - Welcome to the Cerwin-Vega! Family! You’ve joined a growing group of audio professionals who have  
turned to Cerwin-Vega! for the most advanced audio reproduction systems available. All Cerwin-Vega! products are  
thoroughly tested to insure that they meet or exceed our performance specifications. Backed by the best service in the  
industry, Cerwin-Vega! is dedicated to quality and reliability. For a complete overview of Cerwin-Vega! products and  
Before you begin  
The Cerwin-Vega! P-Series active speakers covered by this manual are designed for portable applications in which the  
speakers will be stacked directly on a floor, stage, stable platform, or mounted on a tripod stand or pole-mount. Cerwin-  
Vega! does not support suspension of the subwoofer models covered by this manual nor are these models intended for  
fixed installation in outdoor or high moisture environments. Moisture can damage the speaker cone or surround and  
cause corrosion of electrical contacts so avoid exposing the speakers to direct moisture.  
Cerwin-Vega! speakers can generate considerable energy. When placed on a slippery surface such as polished wood or  
linoleum, the speaker may move due to its own mechanical vibration. Precautions should be taken to assure that the  
speaker does not fall off a stage or table on which it is placed.  
Some Cerwin-Vega! speakers include a receptacle cup to allow mounting of a satellite speaker on top of the subwoofer  
using a standard speaker pole shaft. When using a standard speaker pole shaft, be sure to observe the following  
precautions:  
CAUTION: There are a wide variety of pole stands and pole shaft available in the market. Please refer to  
qualified service personnel from the pole stands and pole shaft manufacturer for installation service. Improper  
use of accessory and inappropriate installation will present a tripping hazard.  
Check the speaker pole shaft specification to be certain it is designed to support the weight of the speakers.  
Observe all safety precautions specified by the speaker pole shaft manufacturer.  
Always verify that the subwoofer is placed on a flat, level, and stable surface.  
Route cables so that performers, production crew, and audience will not trip over them, toppling the speaker.  
Always be cautious in windy, outdoor conditions as the stability of the entire system may be compromised.

Quick Start  
The steps below provide a quick reference on how to setup and use a single loudspeaker. A typical setup will follow the  
same basic steps.  
Make sure the loudspeaker is unplugged.  
Be sure the master switch is to set to the ‘OFF’ position.  
Turn the Volume to the lowest level (fully counter-clockwise)  
STEP 1  
Check that the loudspeaker voltage selector is set to the same voltage as the AC power outlet.  
Place the loudspeaker in the ideal location. See the Loudspeaker Placement page for  
recommended usage.  
STEP 2  
Connect the source audio equipment output to the loudspeaker input. Be sure the source  
equipment is powered on and set to a normal output level.  
Connect the power cord to the loudspeaker and AC power outlet.  
STEP 3  
Set the master power switch to the ‘ON’ position and verify the rear POWER LED indicator is  
illuminated.  
Slowly turn the volume clockwise until the sound output is at the desired level. If there is no  
sound, check to make sure the source equipment is providing audio output.  
When you are done using the loudspeaker, set the master power switch to ‘OFF’ before removing  
any cables and turning off the source audio equipment.  
NOTE(s)  
Do not switch the loudspeaker voltage selector or MIC/LINE switch while the loudspeaker is  
powered ‘ON’ and plugged into an AC power outlet.  
Loudspeaker placement  
Never point a microphone directly at a loudspeaker as this will result in extreme feedback (unwanted sound). Be  
sure the loudspeaker is placed away from the front of the microphone or directly behind the microphone when  
in a floor monitor position.  
When used with turntables, carefully place the loudspeaker so that any vibrations do not interfere with the  
turntable performance and functionality.  
Avoid placing the loudspeaker in the corners or along the walls of a room. This will increase the low-frequency  
sounds and the sound will result in a muddy and incoherent sound reproduction.  
Avoid placing the speakers directly on a hollow stage. It is better to place the loudspeakers on tripod stands or a  
sturdy table.  
The loudspeaker should be placed two to four feet above the ear level of the audience since the human body  
can absorb sound especially at high frequencies. This will make sure the entire audience can hear the sound  
system with the best possible clarity.

P1500X Mixer - Rear Panel  
The P1500X powered loudspeaker has an assortment of mixer controls and connections that cover several applications.  
It is suggested to review the P1500X mixer, as listed below, to take full advantage of the product features.  
(A)  
INPUT 1, INPUT 2, INPUT 3 LEVEL KNOBS  
Each level knob adjusts the gain level on the respective input signal. The full clock-wise position (MAX) sets the gain level  
to maximum whereas a full counter-clockwise (MIN) position sets the gain level to the minimum ‘MUTE’ level. It is  
recommended to set each level knob to the middle position and the main volume knob to the MIN or fully counter-  
clockwise position when first connecting the system.  
(B)  
INPUT 1, INPUT 2 MIC/LINE SWITCH  
Set each switch according to the equipment connected to INPUT 1 and INPUT 2. For example, if a microphone is  
connected to INPUT 1, set the switch to ‘MIC’. If a mixing console or acoustic-electric guitar is connected then set the  
switch to ‘LINE’.  
SWITCH POSITION  
MIC  
LINE  
INPUT IMPEDANCE  
2 kOhm  
40 kOhm  
NOTE: The switch must be properly set to the device that is connected to the  
input. Any mistake may result in unexpected sound level.

(C)  
SIGNAL/CLIP INDICATORS  
Each of the three inputs is monitored by an indicator that provides status on the incoming audio signal. The SIGNAL  
indicator is illuminated when there is an audio signal present with a level greater than -30dBu, approximately the lowest  
level before a MUTE condition. The CLIP indicator is illuminated when the audio signal is clipping and adjustments must  
be made to avoid amplifier shutdown and poor sound quality. Adjustments to prevent clipping are made by reducing the  
input signal gain/level on the appropriate channel or reducing the volume level on your audio source, if possible.  
(D)  
INPUT 1 & INPUT 2 INPUT JACKS  
A combination input on each channel allows for either XLR or ¼” TRS cable types.  
(E)  
INPUT 3 INPUT JACKS  
A pair of ¼” TS unbalanced input jacks is provided on this channel for stereo connections such as a keyboard or media  
device. Devices with RCA outputs can use these inputs with the appropriate cable or plug adapter. Both input jacks on  
this channel are summed into one mono signal.  
(F)  
THRU 1 & THRU 2  
The balanced XLR outputs THRU 1 & THRU 2 are parallel connections to the respective INPUT 1 and INPUT 2. The level  
controls for INPUT 1 & INPUT 2 will not affect the signal on the direct output connection.  
(G)  
MIX OUTPUT  
This is a balanced XLR output that is a sum of all three input channels. This output is not affected by changes to the  
Main Volume knob or the custom features but is affected by the levels set on each channel level knob. This connection is  
designed to provide an output which combines all three input channels together for connecting to another P1500X  
powered speaker or a recording device.  
(H)  
MAIN VOLUME KNOB & REMOTE VOLUME CONTROL  
It is highly recommended to have the volume set to the minimal (MIN) level upon initial system start-up and it can be  
adjusted two different ways. On the main volume knob, volume is increased in a clockwise rotation and decreased in a  
counter-clockwise rotation. Another method to control the volume is by using the Remote connection (sold separately).  
A removable three-terminal jack can be wired over long distances to a remote volume control device with a  
corresponding connection.  
(I)  
INDICATORS  
Three indicators provide operating condition status on the P1500X:  
1) The POWER indicator (green) will illuminate when power is properly applied to the P1500X and the main power  
switch is ‘ON’.  
2) The LIMITER indicator (yellow) will illuminate when the P1500X automatically reduces the sound output to  
prevent damage to the speaker. While the P1500X is producing sound, it is suggested to reduce the volume level  
so the LIMITER indicator does not illuminate. Continuing use of the P1500X while this indicator is illuminated  
may result in a protect condition where no sound can be produced. Note, upon initial power up the indicator  
will blink. This is normal behavior as it will indicate the firmware version in the unit.  
3) The PROTECT indicator (red) will illuminate when the P1500X automatically places itself into a condition where  
sound output is shutoff. This condition may be the result of excessive limiting, an excessive heat condition, or a  
low voltage condition. These conditions all can cause significant damage to the product.

CUSTOM FEATURES  
ENHANCED EQ SWITCH  
The ENHANCED EQ switch adjusts the contour of the overall frequency response and attenuates the mid-range  
frequencies which helps increase focus on the low and high frequencies while potentially reducing feedback. This  
feature is ideal for situations where an external mixer or EQ device is not available or playback only situations such as  
mobile DJ’s. It is recommended that users listen to their system with this switch both on or off to determine what is  
best for their needs.  
VEGA BASS BOOST SWITCH  
Engaging the VEGA BASS BOOST switch to ‘ON’ adds low frequency gain to the signal and dynamically adjusts the low-  
frequency response based on the speaker volume level. Leaving the switch ‘OFF’ and engaging the HIGH PASS FILTER is  
recommended when using the P1500X with a subwoofer. When using the P1500X with the P1800X subwoofer it is also  
recommended to engage the HPF THRU & LPF SUB switch on the P1800X for the best performance.  
HIGH PASS FILTER SWITCH  
When engaged to ‘ON’, the HIGH PASS FILTER (HPF) switch attenuates overall frequency output below 80Hz. This is  
recommended to reduce stage rumble when the speaker is used as a floor monitor or in situations where low  
frequencies need to be attenuated such as in combination with a subwoofer.  
FRONT LIMITER LIGHT SWITCH  
Setting the FRONT LIMITER LIGHT switch to ‘ON’ will enable the limiter indicator light on the front of the P1500X. This  
allows the user to see when the limiter is engaged in situations where it needs to be visible such as during a sound  
check.

P1800SX Mixer - Rear Panel  
The P1800SX powered subwoofer features an assortment of controls and connections similar to the P1500X but unique  
to the needs of this subwoofer. It is suggested to review the P1800SX mixer, as listed below, to take full advantage of the  
product features.  
(A)  
SIGNAL/CLIP INDICATOR  
Each of the two inputs is monitored by an indicator that provides status on the incoming audio signal. The SIGNAL  
indicator is illuminated when there is an audio signal present with a level greater than -30dB, approximately the lowest  
level before a MUTE condition. The CLIP indicator is illuminated when the audio signal is clipping and adjustments must  
be made to avoid amplifier shutdown and poor sound quality. Adjustments to prevent clipping are made by reducing the  
input signal gain/level on the appropriate channel.  
(B)  
INPUT 1 & INPUT 2 INPUT JACKS  
A combination input allows for both XLR and ¼” TRS cable types.

low voltage condition. These conditions all can cause significant damage to the product.  
(G)  
CUSTOM FEATURES  
POLARITY REVERSE  
In situations where the P1800SX is not optimally located, a polarity reverse switch is provided which inverts the phase of  
the audio signal by 180 degrees and can improve low frequency performance. In certain situations, the location of the  
subwoofer may be out of phase with the full-range speakers. By reversing the polarity of the subwoofer, the phase will  
match the full-range with the benefit of not having to relocate the subwoofer.  
VEGA BASS BOOST SWITCH  
Engaging the VEGA BASS BOOST switch to ‘ON’ adds low frequency gain to the signal and dynamically adjusts the low-  
frequency response based on the subwoofer volume level.  
HPF THRU & LPF SUB  
When turned on, the HPF THRU & LPF SUB switch engages two filters simultaneously:  
1) A low pass filter will attenuate frequencies above 80Hz for the P1800X subwoofer.  
2) A high pass filter will attenuate frequencies below 80Hz on the THRU 1 & 2 outputs. This is recommended when  
using the subwoofer in combination with other speakers such as the P1500X.  
FRONT LIMITER LIGHT  
Setting the FRONT LIMITER LIGHT switch to ‘ON’ will enable the limiter indicator light on the front of the P1800SX. This  
allows the user to see when the limiter is engaged in situations where it needs to be visible such as during a sound  
check.

Using the P1500X as a floor/stage monitor  
The P1500X can be used as a floor monitor by laying the cabinet on its side at a fixed 45 degree angle toward the  
performers. It is recommended to engage the HIGH PASS FILTER which cuts low frequencies to minimize any low  
frequency bass-coupling or stage rumble between the loudspeaker and the stage platform. Be sure that the P1500X and  
cables are not located where they can become a tripping hazard. It is recommended to use right angle XLR or right angle  
¼” jacks where possible to avoid cable binding between the loudspeaker and stage platform.

CERWIN-VEGA! PROFESSIONAL  
Using the pole mount  
The P1500X has two different pole mounting angles: level and 7.5 degrees down. This  
allows the loudspeaker to be adjusted to an angle that provides optimal audience coverage.  
For example, a loudspeaker placed on a raised stage platform may have the pole mount  
adjusted to 7.5 degrees downward so the front audience will not be missed.  
Adjust the pole mount angle on the loudspeaker before it is placed onto a pole. On the  
bottom of the loudspeaker is a rotatable disc with two tabs and a position indicator. Use  
the two tabs to rotate the disc so that the position indicator is aligned with either 0 (level)  
or 7.5 (angle downwards). Be sure the disc ‘clicks’ into place and cannot rotate freely.  
CAUTION: When using stands or poles, be sure to observe the following:  
Make sure the pole stand is capable of handling the weight of the loudspeaker. Be sure to observe all  
precautions as indicated by the pole stand manufacturer.  
The pole stand must be placed on a flat, level and stable surface with the legs fully extended. The pole stand  
legs should be placed where they will not present a tripping hazard.  
Power cables and audio signal cables must be placed in a location where they will not create a tripping hazard  
or topple the speakers over when moved or pulled.  
When placing the loudspeakers on top of the pole stand, be sure to ask for help.  
Before loudspeaker pole mounting, be sure to inspect all critical points for any cracks, deformations, corrosion  
and/or missing parts that may affect the strength and safety of the installation.  
Only use a pole stand intended for loudspeaker use.  
Avoid placing the pole stand and loudspeaker in an area of traffic to prevent accidental contact.  
In a windy environment, be sure to use additional weight to support (sandbags) on the base of the pole stand  
for additional stability. Do not attach banners, signage or balloons to the pole stand and/or the loudspeaker.  
Consult a licensed, professional engineer regarding equipment installation and ensure that all local, state and  
national regulations regarding the safety and operation of loudspeakers and related equipment are  
understood and adhered to.

handle (top for vertical orientation and on the side for horizontal orientation) as well as two pull-back points located on  
the rear of the unit.  
CAUTION: When using suspension installation, be sure to observe the following:  
Loudspeaker suspension requires qualified persons who are familiar with rigging standards and practices. Any  
unsafe mounting of any heavy load can result in serious injury and equipment damage.  
Consult a licensed, professional engineer regarding equipment installation and ensure that all local, state and  
national regulations regarding the safety and operation of loudspeakers and related equipment are  
understood and adhered to.  
Do not attempt to suspend the loudspeakers by the handles.  
Before loudspeaker suspension, be sure to inspect all critical points for any cracks, deformations, corrosion  
and/or missing parts that may affect the strength and safety of the installation.  
Only use commercially-available M10 load-rated shoulder eyebolts along with rigging hardware appropriate  
for the actual load.  
Fittings and rigging hardware may deteriorate over extended periods of time due to wear and/or corrosion, be  
sure the installed is checked thoroughly by qualified personal at regular intervals.  
Cerwin-Vega! cannot be held responsible for damage or injury caused by insufficient strength of the support  
structure or improper installation.

Application #2 Adding a second P1500X  
A second P1500X loudspeaker can easily be added using a standard XLR/mic cable as in the example below. A two  
speaker system can cover a wider audience and situations where more volume is needed. To add a second P1500X  
loudspeaker, connect the MIX OUTPUT of the first speaker to INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 on the second speaker then set the  
level and main volume to an appropriate setting on the first speaker. Be aware that the main volume on the first speaker  
will not change the volume on the second speaker so make sure to set the input and main volume knobs to similar  
settings.

Application #3 Adding Subwoofers  
For demanding applications where even greater bass response is ideal, adding subwoofers to a pair of P1500X speakers  
is a great idea. In the diagram below, an audio source is connected to INPUT 1 on each P1800SX subwoofer and then the  
signal is linked to the P1500X speakers by using the P1800SX THRU 1 outputs. The P1500X and P1800SX also have  
CUSTOM FEATURES that allow them to work together efficiently which is covered on the next page.

Application #3 Adding Subwoofers (Adjusting HPF & LPF Filters continued)  
When using the P1500X and P1800SX together it is important to know how to set the HIGH PASS FILTER switch on the  
P1500X and the HPF THRU & LPF SUB switch on the P1800SX so that both speakers work well together. Fortunately, this  
system is designed so that the user can route the audio source to either the P1500X or P1800SX depending on the  
situation. The settings below have been provided for either setup.

Application #4 Daisy-Chain  
Some events may require several P1500X speakers spread across a long distance or a large stage front to provide  
adequate sound reinforcement for the entire audience. Since there are multiple sources, the loop out from the mix  
output should be used to daisy-chain to the next P1500X and then use the thru-out from the second speaker onward.

Application #5 Adding a P1500X as a Stage Monitor  
In a live performance, the performer may wish to have a stage monitor to help hear the performance better. The  
diagram below shows a P1500X used as a stage monitor for the performer plus two P1500X speakers (daisy-chained) for  
the audience. The performer(s) may have a different mix requirement than the audience which means all the THRU  
outputs from the performer(s) must be taken to the first loudspeaker used to cover the audience. At the first  
loudspeaker, the input levels can be mixed to the preferred presentation for the audience. The performer’s monitor can  
be mixed to the performer’s specific requirements without affecting what the audience hears  
NOTE: Careful positioning of the monitor loudspeaker is required as the proximity to the microphone is  
susceptible to feedback. As a general rule, never point the microphone towards the loudspeaker.

Application #6 Large Venue/Front of House  
In larger venues the Front of House engineer has control of the entire sound reinforcement system using the console  
mixer. The diagram below shows how a console mixer interfaces with the performers’ on-stage audio equipment with  
several P1500X speakers directed towards the audience.

Protective Grill  
The P1500X and P1800SX are shipped with the grill attached. It is recommended to leave the grill in place as it will  
prevent any accidental damage to the drivers that may result during transportation, setup and general use.  
In the event that the grill needs to be removed, simply remove the hex-head screws around the edge of the grill.  
Remove the grill slowly to avoid damaging the gasket. When replacing the grill, be sure the gasket is in place and all  
fasteners are secured in tightly to prevent rattling during general use.  
Remote Main Volume  
The 3-pin terminal connector plug allows the P1500X or P1800SX main volume level to be controlled from a remote  
location through signal wires and an external device (not included). The signal wire passes only a voltage level and not  
the actual audio signal. A single device can control the main volume of multiple units when connected correctly. The  
potentiometer should be 10kOhm and specified to support numerous rotations as required for volume control use.  
NOTE: Do not use the remote main volume connection for anything other than  
volume control through the external device. Failure to follow this warning may  
result in damage to the loudspeaker.

Troubleshooting (continued)  
Bad Sound Equipment  
settings  
Check the meters on the external mixing console to ensure that the signal is  
not being clipped by the mixer, if the levels from the mixer are too hot  
correct the gain structure of the console; first by lowering the pre-amplifier  
trim (input sensitivity), if this does not lower the signal level sufficiently then  
lower the channel fader, and if the level is still too hot then lower the master  
bus (but most likely a clipped input is the source of the distortion). It is  
important to check every active input channel on the console to ensure that  
each input trim is set correctly for each source.  
are not set properly  
causing distortion  
If the signal sources are plugged directly into the P1500X make sure that the  
input level knobs are not turned up too high. If the signal indicator LED is  
turning RED on any channel that means the input on that channel is clipping  
and the input level needs to be lowered. It is also possible that the source  
level will need to be lowered. If distortion is still audible after lowering the  
source level and input level knob then lower the master volume knob on the  
P1500X.  
Check that the audio source and/or mixer do not have excessive bass or  
treble added to the mix, overdriven EQ’s can clip causing audible distortion.  
Bad cable connections Verify that all connections are good. Verify the connectors are clean and free of  
any residue build-up. Verify the insulation jacket on all cables has not been torn  
or crushed.  
Rattling Sounds  
Be sure the rattling sounds do not come from the caster wheels (subwoofer  
only), loudspeaker stands or any furniture or fixtures located near the system.  
Bad AC mains cable Avoid using an AC power source that is connected to a light dimmer. Use an AC  
location  
filter box or use a different AC circuit.  
Avoid routing the audio signal cables along other power cables, transformers  
and signal cables to prevent interference.  
Ground loop ‘hum’  
Turn all volume and input levels to the minimum setting to verify there is no  
‘hum’ coming from the connected audio equipment. If the ‘hum’ is still present,  
than remove all audio cable connections and if the ‘hum’ disappears than there  
is a potential ground loop problem. Ground lifting the signal cable (with a direct  
box or coupling transformer) is the safest way to eliminate ground loops within  
sound setups. Plug all audio equipment AC power connections into the same  
outlet which shares a common ground (make sure the outlet is capable of  
supporting the equipment to avoid overloading the circuit). Verify that the  
distance between AC power source and common ground is as short as possible.  
Use a balanced connection (instead of an unbalanced connection) to take  
advantage of the best noise rejection.  
Equipment ‘hiss’  
Plug all audio equipment AC power connections into the same outlet which  
shares a common ground (make sure the outlet is capable of supporting the  
equipment to avoid overloading the circuit).

Care and Maintenance  
Before any cleaning or maintenance, be sure the loudspeaker is unplugged, turned off, and that all cables are removed.  
Be sure to avoid any moisture coming into the openings of the speaker.  
The loudspeaker can be maintained cosmetically using a dry cloth. Avoid using cleaning chemicals as they may harm the  
finish of the loudspeaker. A direct burst of air should be avoided and may harm the drivers as well as assisting debris  
into the enclosure.  
When storing the loudspeaker, be sure it is above ground to avoid accidental flooding and excess dust build-up. It is  
suggested to cover the loudspeaker while it is placed in storage or being transported.
