Yorkville PSA2S Sub Dual 15 Sub

The term "PSA2S" most prominently refers to the Yorkville PSA2S Powered Dual 15" Subwoofer. It's part of Yorkville Sound's Paraline Series, designed to complement their PSA1 powered loudspeakers in a scalable array system.

Here's a detailed breakdown of the Yorkville PSA2S:

Purpose & Design:

• High-Performance Active Subwoofer: The PSA2S is built for demanding professional audio applications, including medium to large-sized live events, clubs, and rental systems, where powerful and articulate bass is essential.

• Companion to PSA1 System: It's specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with Yorkville's PSA1 full-range powered loudspeakers, forming a complete, scalable PA system.

• Bass Reflex Cabinet: Utilizes a bass-reflex design, which is efficient at extending low frequencies.

Power & Drivers:

• Power Rating: Features a robust Class-D power amplifier delivering 4800 Watts Peak Power (2400 Watts Program / RMS). Class-D amplification is known for its high efficiency, compact size, and reliability.

• Drivers: Equipped with two 15-inch woofers, each with a 3-inch voice coil. These custom ceramic drivers are engineered for high output and deep bass reproduction.

• Maximum SPL: Capable of an impressive 134 dB Peak SPL (131 dB Continuous SPL), ensuring significant low-end impact in large venues.

• Frequency Response (Hz +/- 3dB): Provides a deep bass response from 30 Hz to 100 Hz.

• Crossover Frequency: Fixed at 100 Hz, designed for optimal integration with full-range speakers.

Construction & Portability:

• Cabinet Material: Built from solid 15mm (5/8") Birch plywood, which is renowned for its acoustic properties and durability, ensuring the cabinet can withstand the rigors of touring.

• Finish: Durable, anti-resonant black Ultrathane paint, providing a tough, scratch-resistant exterior.

• Heavy Duty Precision Stand Adapter: A notable feature is its integrated, extremely thick-walled cast aluminum stand receiver with a wider mounting plate. This allows for exceptionally stable and secure mounting of PSA1 cabinets (or other pole-mountable speakers) on top of the subwoofer, minimizing sway, especially in stacked array configurations.

• Mobility: Equipped with heavy-duty rear tilt-back wheels and four robust bar handles (one on each side, plus top and bottom) for easier transport and setup.

• Flyable Version: A "PSA2SF" variation is also available, which includes provisions for flying (suspending) the subwoofer for permanent installations or more complex touring rigs (requires additional eyebolts).

• Made in Canada: Highlighting its Canadian manufacturing.

Connectivity & Controls:

• Inputs:

  • 1 x XLR Input (balanced)

  • 1 x 1/4" TRS Input

• Link Outputs:

  • 1 x XLR Link Output (for daisy-chaining to other powered speakers)

  • 1 x 1/4" Link Output

• Controls:

  • Master Volume (Level) control.

  • Line / Speaker Mode switch, allowing it to accept either line-level signals from a mixer or speaker-level signals from an amplifier, offering versatile integration into almost any PA system.

• LED Indicators: For Clip, Limit, and Power.

The Yorkville PSA2S is a professional, high-output subwoofer designed for reliable, impactful bass delivery, particularly as part of a scalable system with Yorkville's PSA1 tops. Its robust build, powerful amplification, and specialized stand adapter make it a strong contender for demanding live sound applications.
