4 Setting Up / Transporting

Place the unit as desired or mount it onto a PA
speaker stand via the stand sleeve on its lower
side .

For transporting, the unit is provided with a

telescopic handle . Push down the unlock but-
ton at the lower side of the handle and extract /
retract the handle as desired .

5 Power Supply

5.1 Mains operation /

Recharging the batteries

To operate the unit via the mains and /or to re-
charge the internal batteries, connect the mains
cable provided to the mains jack (19) and to a
mains socket (230 V / 50 Hz) .

When the unit is connected to the mains,

the batteries will be automatically recharged:
During the recharge, the LED indicators for the
battery status (4) will light up continuously one
after the other . It is not necessary to switch
on the unit for recharging; however, it can be
operated during the recharging process . Once
the recharging process has been completed, the
LED “FULL” will light up continuously .
After operation or after recharging the batter-
ies, disconnect the unit from the mains to avoid
unnecessary power consumption .

5.2 Battery operation

During battery operation, the respective LED (4)
will indicate the charging state of the recharge-
able batteries:

80 – 100 % charged
less than 80 % charged
less than 50 % charged
less than 20 % charged

Important:

To prevent damage to the batteries due

to deep discharge and to prevent a reduction of their
lifetime, please observe the following notes:
– Always fully recharge the batteries prior to initial

operation and after longer storage .

– When the LED “20 %” starts flashing, the batteries

are almost discharged and should be recharged as
soon as possible .

– Fully recharge the batteries prior to longer storage

and at least every two months during storage .

6 Audio Connections

Switch off the unit prior to making any con-
nection .

6.1 Inputs

Two microphones can be connected: via an XLR
plug or a 6 .3 mm plug, to the jack MIC 1 (18)
or, via a 6 .3 mm plug, to the jack MIC 2 (17) .

Audio units with line signal level (e . g .

CD / MP3 player, mixer, tape deck, tuner) can be
connected to the RCA jacks LINE IN (13) and the
3 .5 mm jack AUX IN (15) . It is possible to connect
both mono units and stereo units; in case of a
stereo input signal, the left channel and the right
channel are combined to a mono signal .

6.2 Outputs

Additional audio units such as a recorder or an-
other active speaker system can be connected
to the outputs LINE OUT and AUX OUT (14) .
At both outputs, the mixed signal of the audio
sources will be available, unaffected by the tone
controls (6) and the control MASTER (11) . At
each output jack – the two RCA jacks and the
3 .5 mm jack – a mono signal is available .

7 Operation

CAUTION

Never adjust the active speaker
system to a very high volume .
Permanent high volumes may
damage your hearing!

Your ear will get accustomed to high volumes
which do not seem to be that high any more
after some time . Therefore, do not further in-
crease a high volume after getting used to it .

1) Prior to switching on the unit, set the control

MASTER (11) to “MIN” .

2) To switch the unit on and off, use the POWER

switch (5) . The switch will be illuminated
when the unit is switched on . The battery
status indicators (4) will indicate the charging
status of the rechargeable batteries .

To prevent damage to the batteries by

deep discharge during battery operation, a
discharge protection will automatically switch
off the unit when required . However, due to
self-discharge of the batteries, a deep dis-
charge may also occur when the unit is not
operated for a longer period of time . There-
fore, always observe the box “Important” in
chapter 5 .2 .

3) Switch on the audio sources that are to be

audible and then adjust their volume with the
corresponding controls / buttons (see below);
use the control MASTER (11) to adjust the
overall volume for the active speaker system .
Volume adjustment of the audio sources:

– for the two receiver units of the 2-channel

receiver module, use the corresponding
volume control (2), CH .A or CH .B

operation: see chapter 7.1

– for model TXA-1020USB:

for the integrated audio player, use the vol-
ume buttons at the player or on the remote
control

operation: see chapter 3.1

– for a unit connected to the input AUX IN

(15) and the Bluetooth receiver, use the vol-
ume control (8) of the operating panel AUX

operation of the Bluetooth receiver:

see chapter 7.2

Note:

The control will determine the volume of

the mixed signal of both sources when they are
used at the same time .

– for a unit connected to the input LINE IN

(13), use the volume control (7) of the op-
erating panel LINE

– for a microphone connected, use the vol-

ume control (10 or 9) above the corre-
sponding input

Switch unused sources off or set their volume
to minimum .

4) Use the high-frequency control TREBLE and

the low-frequency control BASS (6) to adjust
the tone of the active speaker system .

5) Use the button VOICE PRIORITY (12) to

activate the microphone priority function .
When the button is pressed (LED beneath
the button illuminated), the volume of the
music currently played will be substantially
reduced while announcements via a micro-
phone connected or a wireless microphone
are being made . To deactivate the function,
disengage the button again .

Note:

The function will also have an effect on the

output signal of the jacks LINE OUT and AUX OUT
(14) as well as on the output signal of the trans-
mitter module .

7.1 Operating the receiver module

Using the 2-channel receiver module and two
appropriate transmitters (e . g . pocket transmitter
TXA-800HSE, wireless microphone TXA-800HT),
two transmission paths can be established .
1) The receiver units A and B of the module pro-

vide a control (2), CH .A and CH .B respectively,
to adjust the volume and to switch them on
and off . To switch a receiver unit on, advance
the corresponding control from the position
“OFF” . The left half of the display (1) applies
to receiver unit A, the right half applies to
receiver unit B . When a receiver unit has been
switched on, the corresponding half of the
display will indicate the transmission chan-
nel . To indicate the radio frequency, press
an arrow button (

△

for unit A,

▽

for unit B) .

The previous indication will reappear after
2 seconds .

2) Use the buttons (3) of the module to

set the

transmission channels

, either manually or

by means of an automatic scan . Leave the
corresponding transmitters switched off for
the time being .

Channel scan:

Keep the buttons

△

and

▽

simultaneously

pressed for approx . 1 second until

appears on the display . The scan will start:
The receiver units will be set to free channels
without mutual interference . If no free chan-
nels are found, the channels set will be kept .

Manual channel selection:

both

receiver units A and B are switched on:

1 . Keep the button SET pressed until the

channel indication for receiver unit A starts
flashing on the display .

2 . Select the channel for receiver unit A with

the button

△

▽

and then confirm with

the button SET .

3 . The channel indication for receiver unit B
