LP-LED2M
The Yorkville Sound LP-LED2M is a compact and dual powered (battery and AC) lighting system. The
LP-LED2M uses 2 lighting fixtures, called pods, mounted on a stand-mountable bar/controller. The bar
houses the user controls, the connectors for a separate controller, the power supply, the battery and
internal charger, and mounting options. Each light pod uses 4 very high-power multi-die LED emitters
that comprise of a red, a green, a blue and a white die. The addition of the white die provides a much
more complete light spectrum; more accurate color rendering of the objects and/or people illuminated.
The light output of each pod is roughly equivalent to 300-watt bulbs with gels. At a distance of 6 feet, the
light beam has a diameter of 3 feet. The diameter of the light at 12 feet is 5 feet. The light is mixed in the
lens so that the mixed light color is visible when looking at the lens. Each pod may be adjusted in 2 axes.
The LP-LED Bars may be used in several ways:
1. Stand alone, no separate controller is required
2. Linked to other LP-LED Bars with one as master
3. With a Yorkville Lighting Controller. The Yorkville Sound LP-C12 and LP-C4 controllers
allow for more functionality than the LP-LED Bars on their own. The older Yorkville Sound
LP-608 can also be used but has limited functionality (see more detailed description below).
When a Yorkville Sound Color Controller is used, the controls on the LP-LED Bars become inactive
except for the Brightness Control.
4. With a DMX™ Controller. The DMX™ signals pass through internal integrated DMX™
processing via a 3-pin standard XLR. Five separate modes are available with DMX512
addressing standard protocol.
5. Bluetooth Smart™ device. Using our dedicated Android and iOS apps via any Bluetooth
Smart™ enabled device. Effects and full manual RGBW color controls are available, along
with extended Bluetooth™ effects such as strobe.
Function Control & Stand-Alone Operation
The Function Control allows you to set the basic operation of the LP-LED Bars. It allows you to power the unit
on, off, choose Bluetooth™ operation or set a manual setting. When an LP-LED Bar is operated by itself (stand-
alone) there are a number of modes which are set by the Function control:
• ALL ON Lamp Color control (5 identical positions)
• Bluetooth™ operation 4 separate settings (A, B, C, D)
• Chase (5 speeds)
• Single Color fade (6 speeds)
• Multi Color fade (4 speeds)
• Audio effects via internal microphone (4) or via ¼-inch jack,
triggering (4) (inserting a jack bypasses the internal microphone)

Bluetooth™ Smart Device
You must install the Yorkville LP Control App on your smart device prior to use. The App is avail-
able on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
The Bluetooth™ app may change and this description may not reflect the particular version the user
has. There also may be additional features and the details that may change. The number of bars con-
nected may change along with a number of factors such as: the digital device (phone or tablet), the
software version in the bar / Bluetooth™ receiver and the amount of Bluetooth™ traffic in the vicinity.
To connect to a light bar, simply open the dedicated app and tap on the “Add Bar” button at the
top of the screen. It will prompt you to enter a 4-digit pin code - if a bar is currently unsecured,
any desired pin code can be entered. Security pin codes are cleared when the light bar is pow-
ered off, or can be removed from the app. You can connect up to 4 bars at once.
Once at least one bar has been connected, “help” and “connected devices” buttons will
appear beside the “Add Bar Button,” along with: channel selection, individual head control-
lers, effects selection, and scene selection.
Channel Selection
Four channels are available, labeled A, B, C and D. These correspond with the channel each light
bar has been set to on the back of the bar. Any bar set to the currently selected channel will follow
given commands. For example, if two bars are connected and set to channel A, changing the first
head color to red will cause the first heads on specifically those two light bars to become red.
Individual Head Controls
the controls will appear as a color knob, an intensity slider, and a manual RGBW assignment button.
Rotating the knob will cycle through the corresponding wheel colors, adjusting the intensity will affect
the brightness level, and pressing the RGBW button will allow for manual RGBW color assignments.
Effects Selection
Eight effects are available. The first seven correspond with the effects on the light bar, while
the eighth is an additional strobe effect. Individual head controls are disabled for that chan-
nel and scene until the effect is switched off.
Scene Selection
each scene will retain the configured head controls or effect for all 4 channels. 10 scenes
are available, and are automatically saved to device storage.
Brightness Control
The brightness of all pods vary from a minimum to a maximum with 32 positions. This control var-
ies the brightness of all pods from any function position or any control source.
Note: The maximum brightness controlled by DMX or the Bluetooth™ app will depend on the manual
brightness setting on actual light bar.
Lamp Color Control
If using the Lamp Color control, any pod can be turned off by setting the Color control to the off
position. There are 31 colors and color choices which begin with red, followed by blue, white,
amber yellow and finally green. There are also several choices of color temperature for white.
Fade / Multicolor Fade
The color fade speeds are fairly slow and are intended for gradually changing the lighting for a
mood effect, chase speeds are faster and are also multi-color.
Color Sound to Light
The LP-LED Bars have sophisticated audio to light (color organ) circuitry. The automatic level cir-
cuitry allows it to be used with signals from weak line levels up to strong loudspeaker levels. The
voltage range on the ¼-inch phone jack is 50mV to 100V. The LP-LED Bars has an internal micro-
phone with automatic sensitivity. The microphone triggers the same sophisticated audio to light
(color organ) circuitry as is used in the audio input jack.
Note: the microphone is active unless a ¼-inch phone jack is inserted to the audio input.
Mounting
For mounting on a standard loudspeaker stand please refer to the diagram "LP-LED Overhead Truss
Mounting Instructions for Tripod Speaker Stand." The stand adapter has a removable pin to allow multiple
light bars per stand.
For overhead truss mounting please refer to the diagram "LP-LED Overhead Truss Mounting
Instructions." As shown in the diagram you must use a safety cable to protect people and equipment in
case the primary mounting hardware fails. This is unlikely to happen if the C-clamps are properly connected
to the truss system but the addition of the safety cable is still a requirement. Improper installation can result
in bodily injury or death. If you are not qualified to attempt the overhead installation get help from a profes-
sional structural rigger.

Using Multiple LP-LEDs
The Yorkville proprietary protocol connections and the DMX connections both allow for daisy chain-
ing. If one bar is used as a master to control other bars the Yorkville Protocol connections should
be used to daisy chain from the master. A unit under Bluetooth™ control will output signals on the
Yorkville Protocol jacks to allow daisy chaining that mimics the bar under Bluetooth™ control.
LP-LED2M 1,2/3,4 Switch
The LP-LED2M has 2 light pods but the Yorkville lighting controllers such as the LP-C4 or LP-C12
use a 4-channel signal. The 1,2/3,4 switch selects which 2 of the 4 channels the bar responds to.
Power Consumption
The advantage for using LED versus conventional incandescent lighting is two-fold, not only does
the unit give off less heat but also consumes less than 5-20% of the energy. This eliminates the
need for separate AC power circuits just to run the lights!
Power consumption is rated under 200 watts which depends on the color choice and intensity.
The light pods and the base are fan cooled. The AC connector will mate with a standard IEC cable
or with a special locking cable (sold seperately). Line voltage can be anywhere from 100 to 240
volts AC enabling you to use the LP-LED Bars practically anywhere!
Battery Status Indicators
The LP-LED2M has a series of four green LEDs to indicate the approximate charge level. The upper
green LED is illuminated if there is greater than 90% charge in the battery. The red LED only will
indicate that the battery is critically low (less than 10% remaining) and needs immediate charging.
The indicators will be engaged only when the power switch is turned on.
Charging Indicator
Whenever AC is connected to the unit, the charging indicator will be turned on. If it is green, the
unit is fully charged. If it is red, the unit is in the process of charging.
Charging the LP-LED2M
To charge the LP-LED2M, plug it into an AC power source using the included power cord. The
charging indicator LED is the best indication of the charging status; even if all of the battery status
LEDs are lit, there is still possibly some additional charging time required. The LP-LED2M can be
safely left connected to AC power for charging indefinitely. It will intelligently control its own charg-
ing regime when plugged in long-term.
Note: The battery charge rate will drop to 1/8th when the unit is between the tempertures of 0°C-10°C
(32°F-50°F), and also 35°C-45°C (95°C-113°C). Charging will be suspended when the unit is below 0°C
(32°F) or above 45°C (113°F).
If the LP-LED2M is going to be stored unused for a long period of time (greater than 6 months) it is advis-
able to periodically plug it in to charge up the battery.
If the LP-LED2M has been stored for a long period of time unused and it has not been maintained, it is
advisable to connect the charger and leave it plugged in for approximately 24 hours.
Yorkville sound LP-C12 and LP-C4 Controllers
The LP series controllers provide an easy way to control LP-series lights. The LP-C4 is a simple
controller intended for foot controlled applications and small applications. The LP-C12 provides
extensive effects, effects patch and scene controls in an especially easy to use format. The use of
LP-series controllers also are the easiest way to synchronize effects between bars. The LP-C12
patch allows some pods to be under scene control while other pods are running effects.
Yorkville Sound LP-608 Lighting Controller
When operating with the Yorkville Sound LP-608 lighting controllers the color controls on the
LP-LED Bars remain active. The Color control can be used to select the color of each pod or if
the Color control is set to off then the LP-Controller’s intensity control becomes the color control
(including off) but the intensity is not controllable.
Note: Operation with the legacy LP-608 controller will require a ‘gender reversing’ adapter in line with the
XLR cable. This was done to prevent accidental connection to a DMX™ controller possibly causing damage.
