PROJECTOR MANUAL
3. CONNECTING CABLES
The integrated design of the
PROJECTOR
system minimizes the effort
involved in connecting cables.
Make sure that all of the system’s mains switches are set to the OFF
position.
Connect the signal-carrying cable from your mixer (master left/right, line
out or a similar circuit) to the balanced input on one of the system’s com-
ponents. It doesn’t matter which component you plug into, either a sub-
woofer or top will do. Use a standard XLR microphone cord to patch the
signal from the THROUGH output to the INPUT of the next component,
and continue plugging cords into components in this manner until they are
all connected. Make sure that the XLR connectors you are using have the
following pin assignments: 1= GROUND, 2= +, 3= -.
Do not connect the mains power cord until you have made sure that the
mains voltage of the given venue matches the voltage specified on the
device. Connecting the system to the wrong mains voltage can destroy the
PROJECTOR
system’s electronic components.
With the new locking Neutrik Powercon connectors, the mains cable can
no longer be pulled out accidentally while the system is up and running.
When you plug the connector in, insert it and then rotate it to the right
like you would a quarter-turn or bayonet-type connector. You have a
secure connection when the connector engages.
4. POWERING UP
Turn the GAIN knob on the cabinets all the way down (counterclockwise
as far as the knob will go).
Make sure that the entire system is connected before you power it up and
that all connected peripheral components are already in operation. The
connected mixer and all signal sources such as keyboards, instrument
amps, effects and so forth should be switched on first.
The PROJECTOR should always be switched on last, that means after you
switch on all connected devices. And it should always be switched off first,
that means before you switch on all connected devices. After you power
the system up by activating the ON/OFF switch (it will light up red when it
is set to ON and is getting mains power) turn the GAIN knobs on all
cabinets all the way up (clockwise as far as the knobs will go).
5. SETTING LEVELS
If you hear distortion or overdriven signals, first check the signal sources
and, if possible, reduce the output signal level there. If the signal that you
are routing to
PROJECTOR
cannot be adjusted at the source, adjust the
power amps by backing off the GAIN knobs (see Tips and Tricks).
If you encounter low frequency hum, activate the GROUND LIFT switch on
the individual components. If this doesn’t take care of the problem, check
all cords and all signals routed into the mixer (see Helpful Hints) until you
pinpoint the problem.
