dynamic horn tweeter, and supplies a 100 W rms
power. For applications for which a lower volume is suf-
ficient, the speaker system PAK-6 with a slightly lower
rms power of 50 W is suitable. It is equipped with a full
range speaker and a piezo horn tweeter.

Both models are provided with a limiter circuit for

level limitation, a 3-way equalizer with bypass switch,
and a subsonic filter, and a sub-boost function (both
can be switched on/off). It is possible to connect either
a microphone or a unit with line output level (e. g. CD
player) to the balanced input. A feed-through output
allows connection of another active speaker system.

Setting-up and Connection

1) The speaker system can freely be placed on the

floor: either put it on edge on the three standing feet
or in a flat way on the four standing feet so that the
sound will be radiated diagonally upwards. Via the
stand sleeve on the lower side of the unit it is pos-
sible also to place the speaker system on a PA cabi-
net stand (e. g. a stand of the PAST series from the
MONACOR product range).

2) As a signal source it is possible to connect a micro-

phone or an audio unit with line output level (e. g. mix-
er, CD player, MD or cassette recorder, etc.). Con-
nect the signal source via an XLR plug or a 6.3 mm
plug to the balanced input jack BAL. INPUT (4).
Note: When connecting a stereo unit, use a stereo

mono adapter, e. g. the adapter NTA-169 (stereo
inline jack to 6.3 mm mono plug) or the cable
MCA-300 (2 x phono plug to 1 x 6.3 mm mono
plug) from MONACOR. Otherwise certain signal
parts will be extinguished.

3) The fed-through input signal is available at the bal-

anced XLR output LINK (2). To this output the input
of another active speaker system can be connected.

4) Finally connect the supplied mains cable to the

mains jack (6) and to a mains socket (230 V~/50 Hz).

Operation

1) With the button INPUT SELECT (3) adapt the input

sensitivity to the connected signal source: disen-
gage the button in case of connected audio unit
with line level; with connected microphone the but-
ton must be pressed.

2) Switch on the connected signal source.
3) Switch on the active speaker system with the mains

switch POWER (12):

Model PAK-6: The upper LED ON (1) lights up as

operating indication.

Model PAK-8: After switching-on, the upper LED

ON/PROT. (1) shows red for some seconds
(protective circuit activated, unit muted) and then

changes to green to indicate the normal operat-
ing condition.

4) Adjust the volume with the control VOLUME (8).

From a certain volume, the lower LED NORMAL (1)
lights up to the rhythm of the music.

If the level is too high, the central LED LIMTER

(1) lights up to show that the integrated limiter circuit
is active. The limiter circuit serves to limit the signal
level: If the level exceeds a defined maximum value,
it is adjusted downward to this value by the limiter
circuit. If the LIMITER LED should light permanently,
turn back the volume control correspondingly.

5) To switch on the equalizer (9), press the button EQ

(10); with the equalizer switched on, the LED next to
the button lights up. By disengaging the button, the
equalizer can be bridged (switched off), if desired.
With the three equalizer controls adjust the desired
sound: It is possible to control the bass range
(LOW), the midrange (MID), and the high range
(HI) up to ±12 dB or ±15 dB. With the controls in
mid-position there is no influence on the sound.

6) By pressing the button SUB-BOOST (5) it is possi-

ble to boost the lower bass range, if required. With
the sub-boost function switched on, the LED next to
the button lights up.

7) Subsonic sound or other low-frequency interference

can be suppressed by connecting the subsonic fil-
ter: Press the button SUBSONIC (13). With the filter
switched on, the LED next to the button lights up.

8) When setting up several speaker systems, the

sound waves of the systems may show a different
phase. This may cause undesired attenuation of cer-
tain frequencies. To balance this, the PAK-6/PAK-8
has a phase reversal switch, the button PHASE (11),
by which the phase of the audio signal can be turned
by 180°. Test both positions of the button – pressed
(LED next to it lights up) or disengaged – and choose
that position which offers the best reproduction.

9) After operation of the unit, switch it off with the

switch POWER (12).

Specifications

According to the manufacturer. Subject to change.

Caution! Never adjust a very high volume. Perma-
nent high volumes may damage your hearing! The
human ear gets accustomed to high volumes which
do not seem to be that high any more after some time.
Therefore, do not further increase a high volume
which has once been adjusted after getting used to it.
