Yorkville Elite PA System Package – Complete 4-Speaker Solution
This complete Yorkville PA system package combines two powerful EF15P powered speakers with two PS18S subwoofers, delivering an impressive 4,800 watts of total program power (9,600 watts peak) with a combined maximum output of 268 dB SPL. Weighing in at a total of 350 lbs, this professional-grade system comfortably handles audiences from 200-500 people indoors and up to 300 people in outdoor settings.
Yorkville Sound has been a cornerstone of Canadian audio manufacturing since 1963, building their reputation on indestructible build quality and legendary warranty support. Based in Pickering, Ontario, Yorkville designs and manufactures all products in Canada, maintaining strict quality control standards. Every Yorkville system is backed by their industry-leading 2-year “Even If You Break It” unlimited warranty, plus a 10-year warranty on all wooden cabinet elements—one of the most comprehensive protection plans in professional audio.
This package comes ready to work with integrated pole mount adapters, versatile connectivity options including XLR, 1/4″ TRS, and speaker-level inputs, and includes 25-foot detachable power cables. Available accessories include padded speaker covers, flight cases, heavy-duty speaker stands, and professional rigging hardware for both portable and permanent installation applications.
Yorkville EF15P Elite Series Powered Speakers (Pair)
The EF15P represents the next generation of Yorkville’s legendary Elite series, completely redesigned with modern DSP technology while maintaining the rock-solid durability that made the original Elite series famous in the 1980s. Each speaker delivers 1,200 watts of program power (2,400 watts peak) through a precision-matched bi-amp system: 900 watts drives the 15-inch neodymium woofer with 3-inch voice coil, while 300 watts powers the 3-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver.
The intelligent onboard processing includes four performance presets (Club, Concert, Vocal, and Custom) that optimize the speaker’s response for different applications—whether you’re reinforcing spoken word in a worship service or delivering high-impact sound for live music. The 60° x 40° coverage pattern provides focused, even dispersion that minimizes early reflections and feedback while maximizing intelligibility across your venue.
What sets the EF15P apart is its built-in mixer functionality. Engage the internal mixer to access dedicated mic and line inputs with individual level controls, or bypass it entirely for the lowest possible noise floor when connecting from an external mixer. The thru output allows you to daisy-chain up to sixteen EF-Series speakers from a single source, making system expansion incredibly straightforward.
With a frequency response extending down to 43 Hz, these speakers provide substantial low-end punch even without subwoofers, though the dedicated 100 Hz high-pass filter makes integration with subs seamless. At just 64 lbs per speaker, neodymium magnets and Class-D amplification keep the weight manageable while the ABS-coated Baltic birch cabinet ensures road-ready durability. The maximum SPL of 133 dB peak means you have serious headroom for dynamic peaks without distortion.
Yorkville PS18S ParaSource Powered Subwoofers (Pair)
The PS18S is Yorkville’s largest ParaSource subwoofer, engineered to pack massive low-frequency output into a compact, tour-ready enclosure. Each sub features an 18-inch driver with a hefty 4-inch voice coil, powered by 1,200 watts program (2,400 watts peak) of efficient Class-D amplification. The bass reflex design maximizes efficiency, delivering controlled, deep bass from 45 Hz to 100 Hz with minimal distortion.
At 135 dB maximum SPL per subwoofer, these aren’t just for adding a little extra bottom—they fundamentally transform your system’s capability, providing the chest-thumping impact that makes music come alive and adds weight to spoken word. The fixed 100 Hz crossover integrates seamlessly with any full-range speaker, and the rear panel accepts both line-level and speaker-level signals, making these subs compatible with virtually any existing PA setup.
The PS18S’s compact dimensions (22.25″ D x 21.25″ W x 32.25″ H) belie its massive output capability. Despite weighing 111 lbs each, the four integrated metal handles make two-person transportation manageable. The solid 15mm birch plywood construction with painted finish ensures years of reliable service, while the powder-coated perforated steel grille protects the driver from accidental damage.
Whether you’re running sound for a worship service that needs clean, articulate bass to support contemporary music, or providing full-range reinforcement for corporate events and live performances, the PS18S delivers professional-grade low-frequency extension without the bulk and weight of larger dual-18″ designs.
Perfect Coverage for Your Indoor and Outdoor Events
This Yorkville PA package handles diverse venue requirements with ease. For indoor applications, expect clean, powerful sound for 200-300 people in typical worship spaces, conference rooms, and small theaters, with capacity extending to 400-500 people in more controlled acoustic environments. The 60° x 40° dispersion pattern of the EF15P speakers means you get wide horizontal coverage while maintaining vertical control, reducing ceiling reflections that can muddy the sound.
For outdoor events, this system confidently covers 150-300 people depending on ambient noise and layout. Without walls to contain the sound, you’ll appreciate the focused dispersion pattern and substantial power reserves. The weather-resistant painted finish on all components handles outdoor conditions, though proper covering is recommended during storage and transport.
Strategic Subwoofer Placement Options
Single Sub Configuration: When running one sub, center placement under the stage provides balanced coverage for symmetrical venues. Side placement works well for asymmetrical rooms or when center space is limited—just be aware of potential phase issues if your mains aren’t properly aligned.
Stacked Configuration: Placing both subs in the center, stacked vertically, increases maximum output and coupling efficiency. This setup produces 6 dB more output than separated subs and creates a stronger bass presence in the near field.
Separated Left/Right: Positioning subs beneath or beside each main speaker creates a more distributed bass image. This works particularly well for stages wider than 20 feet, though you sacrifice the coupling benefit of stacking.
Cardioid Array: For advanced users, position one sub forward-facing and one reverse-facing, spaced 1-2 feet apart with a polarity reversal. This dramatically reduces bass bleed onto the stage, helping your musicians hear themselves clearly while maintaining powerful front-of-house impact.
Ideal Applications and Target Customers
This Yorkville sound system excels for churches and worship spaces that need clear, powerful reinforcement for contemporary worship bands, traditional music, and spoken word. The vocal preset on the EF15P ensures excellent speech intelligibility for sermons and announcements, while the full system handles modern worship music with the impact congregations expect.
Event production companies will appreciate the system’s versatility across corporate presentations, wedding receptions, and live music performances. The quick-setup capability and built-in processing mean less time at soundcheck and more confidence during shows.
Live music venues benefit from the system’s high SPL capability and clean reproduction across genres from acoustic performances to full rock bands. The substantial power reserves mean you’re never running at the edge of the system’s capability, ensuring clean sound even during dynamic peaks.
Schools and community centers requiring a reliable, powerful PA for gymnasium events, theater productions, and multi-purpose spaces get professional results without the complexity or maintenance headaches of some competing systems.
Easy Setup and Transportation Solutions
Setup flexibility is built into this complete PA solution. The EF15P speakers work beautifully on standard speaker stands—the integrated pole mount socket accepts any 35mm stand. For permanent installations, Yorkville offers compatible rigging hardware and brackets. The angled cabinet design also allows floor wedge positioning for stage monitoring applications.
The PS18S subwoofers include pole mount adapters on top, making them the perfect base for your EF15P tops in a pole-mounted configuration. This stacked approach minimizes your system footprint while optimizing the acoustic coupling between subs and mains. At 111 lbs each, the subs benefit from a hand truck or cart for longer load-in distances, though the integrated metal handles allow two people to safely position them.
