SRM | V-Class High-Performance Powered Loudspeaker Series

Getting Started

Introduction

  SRM | V-Class High-Performance Powered Loudspeakers  

are a whole new tier of SRM portable loudspeakers  

that aren’t just made to get the job done, but to get  

it done better than anything else with unmatched clarity, 

output, and control packaged into sleek, rugged enclosures. 

  Robust 2000W amplifiers with our Advanced Impulse™  

DSP tuning and Intelligent Bass Management™ deliver  

a consistent listening experience to your whole audience  

even at extreme volumes. 

  A built-in digital mixer with full-color display features 

Bluetooth® streaming and powerful processing plus  

complete wireless control via the SRM Connect™ app. 

  Experience the new definition of high-performance for DJs, 

clubs, HoW, rental, and beyond with SRM | V-Class. 

How to Use This Manual:

  After this introduction, a getting started guide will help  

you get things set up fast. The hookup diagrams show  

some typical SRM | V-Class loudspeaker setups, including 

some that involve a subwoofer.

This icon marks information that is critically 

important or unique! For your own good, read and 

remember them...it is a good idea to pay special 

attention to these areas in the Owner’s Manual 

marked with the “VERY IMPORTANT” hand icon.
There’s an illustration of a microscope,  

so, of course, you’re going to get more  

detailed information when you see this  

little guy. There are explanations of  

features and practical tips listed here.
It’s a good idea to pay attention to text displayed 

next to a note icon, as this icon draws attention  

to certain features and functions relating to  

the usage of the SRM | V-Class Series.

  The following steps will help you set up the loudspeakers 

quickly.

  1. Make all initial connections with the power switches OFF  

on all equipment. Make sure the master volume, level and gain 

controls are all the way down.

  2. If not using a subwoofer, connect the outputs from  

the mixing console (or other signal source) to the inputs  

on the rear panel of the loudspeakers. 

  3. If using a subwoofer, connect the outputs from  

the mixing console (or other signal source) to the inputs  

on the subwoofer, then connect the high pass outputs  

from the subwoofer to the inputs of the loudspeakers.

  4. Push the line cord securely into the subwoofer’s / 

loudspeaker’s IEC connectors and plug the other ends into 

grounded AC outlets. The subwoofer/loudspeaker may accept 

the appropriate voltage as indicated near the IEC connector.

  5. Turn the mixer (or other signal source) on.

  6. Turn the subwoofer on (if applicable).

  7. Turn the loudspeakers on.

  8. Make sure the loudspeaker’s channel gain knob(s)  

are set to mic / Hi-Z or line followed by setting the channel 

levels to (or near) 0 dB. More information may be found  

on pages 11-13.

  9. Start the signal source and raise the mixer’s main L/R  

fader up to a comfortably loud listening level.

Things to Remember:

•  Never listen to loud music for prolonged periods. Please see 

the Safety Instructions on page 2 for information on hearing 

protection.

•   As a general guide, the mixer (or other signal source) should 

be turned on first, subwoofers next, and SRM | V-Class 

loudspeakers last. As such, the SRM | V-Class loudspeakers 

should also be turned off first, followed by the subwoofers, 

then the mixer. This will reduce the possibility of any turn-

on or turn-off thumps and other noises generated by any 

upstream equipment from coming out of the speakers.

•   Save the shipping boxes and packing materials! You may  

need them someday. Besides, the cats will love playing  

in them and jumping out at you unexpectedly. Remember  

to pretend like you are surprised!

•   Save your sales receipt in a safe place.

Please write the serial numbers here for future reference  

(i.e., insurance claims, tech support, return authorization,  

make dad proud, etc.)
