FEATURES
An All-in-One
Digital A/V Powered Mixer -
Providing an Effective Solution for
Smooth Multimedia Presentations
In 2002, Sony introduced the SRP-X700P Digital
Powered Mixer, a new “all-in-one” system concept for
multimedia presentations. Designed to function as
the central control hub for the integration of video,
audio and PC media sources, the SRP-X700P allows
for rich content and multimedia presentation systems
to be easily configured, without integrating several
separate A/V presentation devices.
Expanding upon this concept, Sony is now introducing
the SRP-X500P, a cost-effective and ideal choice for
use in small to mid-scale presentation systems - for
conference rooms, corporate boardrooms and
classrooms to houses of worship. Within its compact
chassis the SRP-X500P has seven major presentation
devices - including an RGB/video switcher, audio
mixer, wireless tuner slots, sound processor, and
digital power amplifier. For smooth control over
presentations there is an easy-to-use front-panel
layout, providing instant access controls for
compatible Sony VCRs, DVD players, projectors and
PCs. Plus, the built-in digital mixer offers important
DSP functions, including a feedback reducer and
equalizer for high-quality audio.
Eliminating complicated operations, cumbersome
installation procedures, and complex adjustments of
A/V parameters for optimized visuals and sound, the
SRP-X500P is an efficient A/V presentation system for
conveying your messages as effectively as possible.
All-in-One Design
The SRP-X500P incorporates the functionality of
seven presentation devices in a compact 3U
high, 19-inch rack-mountable chassis, enabling
modern presentations using a wide variety of
A/V sources. Compared to purchasing these
devices separately, the SRP-X500P presents a
large reduction in system cost and eliminates
time-consuming wiring and adjustments
between such devices.
Nine System Presets
Setting up audio parameters of a presentation
system can be a difficult task, especially to
deliver high-clarity audio to all areas of the
venue. The SRP-X500P offers nine factory-
default system settings in its memory, enabling
more efficient audio adjustment. Speaker
system configurations are also included in these
settings, allowing quick setup of the audio
system by recalling the one best suited for the
venue.

Comprehensive Remote Control
For integrated control of the presentation
system the SRP-X500P offers a variety of
control interfaces - to control peripheral
equipment or to be controlled from an external
control system. These include RS-232C,
Control S and PARALLEL ports.
An optional RM-AV3000 Series Wireless
Remote Commander®also provides basic
control functions for both the SRP-X500P and
connected projector.
Remote Control of the SRP-X500P:
•RS-232C (REMOTE): Various settings of the
SRP-X500P can be altered from a PC running the
supplied SRP-X500P Manager. Third-party system
controllers can also be connected to this port to
control the SRP-X500P.
Remote Control of Peripheral Equipment
From the SRP-X500P
•RS-232C (PROJECTOR CONTROL): For remote
control of Power ON/STANDBY and input selection
of Sony projectors.
•Control S (PROJECTOR CONTROL): For remote
control of Power ON/STANDBY and input selection
of the Sony LCD Data Projector VPL-PX15.
Remote Control of Peripheral Equipment
From an External Parallel Interface Box
•PARALLEL (REMOTE): For remote control of
peripheral devices such as video screens
(up/down), window curtains (open/close), and
lighting (on/off).
High-Quality Digital Sound
The SRP-X500P is equipped with a number of
digital signal sound processing functions
including Auto Gain Control (AGC), equalizer,
compressor and feedback reducer, helping to
bring professional sound quality into
multimedia presentations. Each microphone
input channel integrates a digital feedback
reduction function. At the touch of a button,
the audio frequency in which howling is likely
to occur, is detected and suppressed, reducing
unwanted microphone feedback.*
Consequently operators can raise the amplifier’s
volume without concern over microphone
howling. The SRP-X500P also incorporates an
A/D and D/A converter with a 24-bit, 48-kHz
sampling frequency for high-quality digital
sound. The four-channel digital amplifier also
maximizes the sound quality of the SRP-X500P.
*When a microphone position is changed,
the feedback reduction function has to be set again.
Integrated Wireless Tuner Unit Slots
The SRP-X500P can accommodate two optional
wireless tuner units, selectable from the
Sony UWP-X series or the
WRU-806A/806B, making it
simple to establish a high-
quality wireless microphone
system for the presentation.

Wireless Control of the SRP-X500P or
Peripheral Equipments
Using the optional RM-AV3000 Series Remote
Commander, frequently accessed operations of the
SRP-X500P and connected projector can be wirelessly
controlled:
SRP-X500P
•AV/RGB selection
•Master volume adjustment
•Master volume muting
Projector
•Projector Power ON/STANDBY
Versatile Interfaces
The SRP-X500P offers an array of video, PC,
and audio I/Os. In addition to conventional
composite and component video inputs, it
supports computer RGB input and output, both
of which accommodate up to SXGA resolution.
As for audio, four microphone inputs and two
stereo line inputs are available, each which can
be freely assigned to the four audio outputs.
Built-in Four-Channel
Digital Power Amplifier
The SRP-X500P is equipped with a four-channel
digital power amplifier that can be switched
between high and low impedance modes to
suit various room types.
Low impedance mode:
90 W + 90 W + 50 W + 50 W (4 Ω, 8 Ω)*
High impedance (70 V line) mode:
90 W + 90 W (4 Ω, 8 Ω)* + 60 W (82 Ω)
*The same power rating can be acquired for both 8 Ω
and 4 Ωspeaker impedance. Connect the speakers so
the total speaker impedance is 4 Ωor higher.
PC Control With Easy-to-Use GUI
For system setup and operation from a PC, the
SRP-X500P is supplied with the Windows-based
SRP-X500P Manager software.* From its easy-
to-use GUI, operators can control detailed
settings such as the equalizer, AGC, and
compressor, before the presentation.
