Setup consists of: 2x VSS 18 + 4x VB 18 + 2x VL 750 or VL 760 

 

1. Set-up PA: - place a VSS 18 to the left and right side in front of the audience 
 

       (on solid underground) 
    - place one VB 18 to the front and one backwards next to VSS 18 (side by side    
      and front in line, see drawing); 

Note! 

Please mind the distance of 60 cm to the  

      systems among each other and the distance to the periphery (e.g. front of stage,  
      walls)              
    - place the top units each on a distance rod on the VB 18 in the mid-position or   

                        each on a high stand (front in line)    

 

2. Connection: - apply power supply connection always with the supplied PowerCon cable on   
 

         VSS 18 + VL 750 or VL 760 on one 16A fused electric circuit 

 

       - plug in the left + right audio signal (XLR cable) each on channel A on the   

 

         VSS 18, after this you have to link each audio signal with a XLR cable to the 

 

         top units (e.g. with a dual-cable from K.M.E., which includes the audio signal 

 

         and the power supply) 

 

      - connect the speaker output „Out A“ of VSS 18 each with a passive subwoofer 

 

        VB 18 with a Speakon cable for the rear channel and speaker output „Out B“  

 

        each with a passive subwoofer VB 18 for the front channel 

 

      - switch on the system components successively, 

Note! 

please turn down all   

 

        volume controls before switching on the system components to avoid an   

 

        undesirable sound reproduction, because the system components can start    

 

        in the “lock-function” (depending on adjustment), that means it may not react on  

 

        changes on the control panel 

 

     - after switching on the system components it is advisable to set the volume knobs 

 

        to „central click“ (=0dB) to have a defined volume level 

 

     - The volume control for „Out A” and „Out B” is pre-set by 0 dB and depends on  

 

       

 system volume control (master), but they are not adjustable
