Getting Started
The following steps will help you set up your
loudspeakers quickly.
INITIAL SETTINGS:
1. Turn the LEVEL control on the rear panel all the
way down.
2. Set the EQ ON/OFF switch out (OFF).
3. Turn the POWER switch OFF.
CONNECTIONS:
1. Connect the line-level signal from your mixer (or
other signal source) to the INPUT jack on the
TH-12A rear panel (XLR connector).
2. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the IEC
socket on the back of the loudspeaker. Plug the
other end into an AC outlet properly configured with
the correct voltage as indicated just below the IEC
socket.
TURN IT ON:
1. Turn the POWER switch ON.
2. Start your signal source (mp3 player, CD, DAW,
band, or whatever), but leave the master level
control on your mixer down.
3. Slowly turn up the LEVEL control on the TH-12A to
the “U” (unity gain) mark at the center position.
4. Adjust the master volume on your mixer to a
comfortable listening level. If the volume from the
speakers gets really loud, really fast, try turning
down the LEVEL control on the TH-12A a bit. If the
speakers don’t get loud enough, turn up the LEVEL
control to achieve a good balance of master volume
control and loudness from the speaker.
Now that you have your loudspeakers working, it’s
time to hunker down and read the rest of this manual…
especially the following:
ADDITIONAL TIDBITS OF WIDSDOM:
• Never listen to loud music for prolonged periods.
Please see the Safety Instructions on page 2 for
information on hearing protection.
• When you shut down your equipment, turn off the
TH-12A loudspeakers first to prevent thumps
and other noises generated by any upstream
equipment from coming out of the speakers.
When powering up, turn on the TH-12As last.
• Save the shipping boxes and packing materials!
You may need them someday. Besides, your
cat 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.
• Record the serial number in the space provided on
page 3, along with where and when you bought it.
