PortaVox is an easy-to-use portable sound system that will
run for many hours on its built-in battery. You’ll need a
microphone or other input source before you begin.
Make sure the battery is fully charged before use (see page 9).
Here’s how easy it is to use:
1. Unhook the two speaker units from the center
console and set them in front of your audience on
the ground or on speaker stands.
2. Plug the cable attached to each speaker into the jacks
on the console labeled SPEAKER OUTPUT.
3. Plug a microphone into the MIC 1 or MIC 2 input,
or plug an audio source into the LINE input.
4. Set all input level controls to minimum, then turn the
power switch ON. Increase the level control adjacent
to the input used until desired volume is reached.
5. Adjust the tone control (also the power switch) for
desired sound quality.
To operate the wireless mic system on model PB-500W see
“Wireless Operation” on pages 7 - 9. And for more detailed
instructions, see the “Operation” section beginning on page 5.
