When the jack LINE IN R is used as an input,
set the selection switch (14) to the position
MONO. When other input jacks are used, the
position of the selection switch does not mat-
ter.
2. Feed the signal of the right channel from one
C- RAY/ 8 to another C- RAY/ 8
For the left channel, set the selection switch
(14) of the C- RAY/ 8 to the position RIGHT.
Now, the speaker system only reproduces
the left channel of the input LINE IN (12); the
signal of the right channel is available at the
input LINE IN. For the right channel, connect
the jack LINE OUT to the jack LINE IN L (12)
of the C- RAY/ 8.
5.3 Additional amplifier
To connect an additional amplifier, two options
are available:
1. Connection via the jack LINE OUT (13)
At this jack, the monophonic signal of the
input LINE IN (12) is available. The selection
switch (14) must be set to the position
MONO.
2. Connection via the jack MIX OUT (17)
At this jack, the mixed signal adjusted by
means of the controls LINE, MIC, COMBI and
AUX (1 – 4) is available.
5.4 Power supply
Use the mains cable supplied to connect the
mains jack (20) of the C- RAY/ 8 to a socket
(230 V~/ 50 Hz).
6 Operation
1) To prevent switching noise and excessive ini-
tial volume, set the controls LINE, MIC,
COMBI and AUX (1 – 4) to the position MIN
prior to setting the speaker system into oper-
ation.
2) Set the selection switch (14) to the position
MONO; otherwise, only the left channel of the
input LINE IN (12) will be reproduced. For
stereo operation, however, set the switch for
the left channel to the position RIGHT
(
"
chapter 5.2).
3) Use the power switch (21) to switch the unit
on and off. When the unit is switched on, the
power switch and the blue power indicator
ON (10) light up.
4) Use the appropriate volume controls (1 – 4) to
mix the signals of the inputs or to fade them
in or out as desired. Always turn the controls
of unused inputs to the position MIN.
Note:
If there is feedback during microphone opera-
tion, increase the distance between the C- RAY/ 8
and the microphone and/or turn back the volume
control of the corresponding microphone accord-
ingly.
5) Use the control BASS (5) to adjust the
desired strength of the low frequencies radi-
ated by the subwoofer module.
6) The green indicator SIGNAL (10) lights up
when a specific signal level has been
reached. When the signal level is too high,
the limiter will reduce the level to protect the
speakers: In this case, the red indicator LIMIT
will light up. To retain the original dynamic
range of the signal, reduce the volume by
means of the appropriate control (1 – 4) until
the indicator LIMIT extinguishes.
7) Use the appropriate control (6 – 9) to adjust
the sound of the individual input signals. The
adjustment options available depend on the
input type (
"
chapter 1, items 6 – 9).
— The controls CONTOUR (6, 9) for the
inputs LINE IN and AUX IN define the
level of the aurally compensated sound
correction. The correction will boost the
high frequencies and the low frequencies.
The boost level depends on the position of
the control LINE (1) or AUX (4).
high low no boost
— Use the equalizer control (7) to continu-
ously adjust the sound for the input MIC IN
between vocals (SING), neutral (FLAT)
and speech.
— Use the equalizer control (8) to continu-
ously adjust the sound for the input
COMBI IN between neutral (FLAT), music
and speech.

CAUTION
Never adjust the speaker system
to a very high volume. Permanent
high volumes may damage your
hearing! Your ear will get accus-
tomed to high volumes which do
not seem to be that high after
some time. Therefore, do not fur-
ther increase a high volume after
getting used to it.
