1
Input
Plug a cord equipped with an XLR connector or 1/4”/6.35 mm jack plug into
this electronically balanced XLR/ 1/4”/6.35 mm combo input to send a L/R
stereo line signal from your DJ controller, mixing console, keyboard or the
like to the system.
●
2
Thru
These balanced parallel XLR outputs serve to send the L/R stereo signal
routed into Input (
●
1
) through to other components such as powered
monitors. The Thru jacks also connect the optional HK Audio LINEAR
SUB series model L SUB 1500 A subwoofer. This bass bin comes highly
recommended if you wish to boost your system's low-end performance.

Power LED
This LED lights up green when the Power button (
●
10
) is set to On and the
unit is getting mains power.
●
4
Master
The Master knob adjusts the gain and thus the volume for the entire
ELEMENTS GALA system. Turn it all the way down—that is, as far left as it
will go—before switching on the system.
●
5
Sub
The Sub knob adjusts the subwoofer’s volume separately. The mid/high
units and the subwoofer's volume levels are relatively balanced when the
knob is set to 0 dB—that is, the center-notched 12 o’clock position.
●
6
Limit Mid/High
This LED tells you the limiter is operating in the mid/high columns' fre-
quency range.
Heads up! If the Mid/High LED stays red while the system is up and
running, it is being overloaded. Turn down the Master knob! If you are not
feeding a signal into the system and the LED stays red, there has been
malfunction. Contact our Technical Service.
●
7
Limit Sub
This LED tells you the limiter is operating in the GALA SUB 15 subwoofer's
low frequency range.
Heads up! If the Sub LED stays red while the system is up and running,
it is being overloaded. Turn down the Master knob! If you are not
feeding a signal into the system and the LED stays red, there has been
malfunction. Contact our Technical Service.

Small Venue/ Long Distance Selector
This DSP-driven EQ optimizes the frequency response for the given
application.
EQ
Small Venue
Long Distance
Small Venue:
As the name suggests, the Small Venue fi ltering setting
voices the mid/high columns' frequency response for smaller rooms. The
system will then deliver a signal that sounds balanced and remarkably
transparent even at very short range.
EQ
Small Venue
Long Distance
Long Distance:
Set the switch to Long Distance when you want to voice
the mid/high columns' frequency response for larger rooms. This setting
maximizes the speakers' reach to throw high and mid-range frequencies all
the way to the back row, yet retains the system's excellent sound quality.

Auto Sleep
ELEMENTS GALA SUB 15's Auto Sleep mode is enabled when the button
is set to On. If the system is left to idle for 350 minutes without receiving
a signal, the amp switches to this power-saving mode where it consumes
around 0.5 watts. To wake it up, fi rst press the power button (
●
10
) to switch
the system off for fi ve seconds. Then switch it on again to bring ELEMENTS
GALA SUB 15 back on line. Set Auto Standby to the Off position if you wish
to disable this function and ensure ELEMENTS GALA SUB 15 remains up
and running.
●

Power
This is ELEMENTS GALA SUB 15's on/off button. The power LED (

up green when it is engaged.

Mid/High Out
Plug speaker cords equipped with NL2 Speakon connectors (+1/-1; at least
1.5 mm² in diameter) into these outputs to connect the ELEMENTS GALA
system's mid/high columns. Do not use these outputs to connect any
component apart from the E 835 (E 435) mid/high units. If you connect
another device, you stand a good chance of destroying it and the GALA
SUB 15 bass bin.
