Input Connections
Always use a good quality screened cable. Make sure soldering has been done correctly, bad solder joints can
cause damage or intermittent faults to occur. Try to always use a balanced connection, if this is not possible
try to keep unbalanced cables as short as possible. See the connector wiring chart below when wiring
connectors.
Powering Up For The First Time
• Turn down all volumes.
• Switch on your audio devices ie tablet, CD player, tuner, PC.
• Switch on your mixer.
• Switch on any processors between mixer and active speaker.
• Switch on the active speaker.
• Turn up slightly the audio source volume, then mixer volume, them processor volume.
• Turn up the active speaker volume slowly.
• Make any adjustments to the volume settings.
• Do the reverse of this when powering down.
It is best to turn the active speakers volumes up to max or almost maximum, when using a separate mixer, or
any device with volume controls. If connecting devices straight to the active speaker, use the active speaker
volumes. Remember to try and avoid distortion and do not over drive any of the equipment. Always try and
keep mixer gains as low as possible and do not turn the input gain on a mixer down and then turn the main
master output to maximum to achieve the correct levels, as you may also be amplifying unwanted signal
noise.
