CAB Series User Manual
Connections
If a microphone is to be used directly with the CAB speaker, connect via the Mic
Input 1 XLR (5) and select MIC on the mic/line level sector switch (4). Alternatively,
a line input (e.g. CD, mp3 player or laptop) can be connected to the Input 1 jack
socket (6) and the mic/line selector switch set to LINE.
An additional Line input 2 can connect via XLR (14) or dual RCA sockets (13).
Note: Both red and white RCA inputs are summed to mono.
To connect the output of the CAB speaker onto an additional CAB speaker or other
active cabinet, there is an XLR line output (12) which can be linked to a line input
using a good quality balanced audio XLR cable.
Before connecting to mains power, ensure that the supply voltage at the mains
outlet is correct. A covered slide switch (16) can select 110Vac or 230Vac operation
to match the supply voltage. Connect mains to the IEC inlet (7) using the power lead
provided or an equivalent lead with the same fuse and same or higher current rating.
Operation
Before powering up, turn the Bluetooth Volume, Level 1, Level 2 and Master controls
(2, 3, 8, 11) fully down. This will avoid any loud noises or pops when the speaker is
activated. High and Low EQ controls (9, 10) should remain at the 12 o
’
clock position.
Switch mains power on using the on/off rocker switch (15) and the
“

LED next to
the Master volume control will light.
If a microphone is connected to Input 1, firstly take care to keep the microphone
pointing away from the front of the speaker, as this can result in feedback.

Turn up the Master volume (11) part way and gradually increase Level 1 (2) whilst
speaking into the microphone to check for the sound coming through the speaker.
For a line input connected to either input 1 or 2, again with the Master volume
turned up part way, play the audio source (CD, mp3 or other) whilst gradually
increasing Level 1 or Level 2 (2, 8) until the audio can be heard through the speaker.
When all wired inputs have been checked, increase the Master to the maximum
required volume and adjust Level 1 and Level 2 as needed.
