Features and Startup
Roadtrip 508 is divided into three areas:
8-in-2 mixer with 7 mono channels, one stereo input and an internal
FX processor
2-channel Class D power amplifier for driving the integrated 3-way
speakers and/or external monitors/subwoofer
Stereophonic 3-way speaker system
Roadtrip 508 is a self-contained system which integrates the mixer
and the Class D amplifier in the same enclosure while the separate
modules of the 3-way speaker system are mounted on the front and
back of the mixer/amplifier unit for transport. Before using Roadtrip
508 you first have to detach the speaker modules and hook up the
mixer/amplifier unit.
Proceed as follows:
1)
Place Roadtrip 508 on solid ground.
2)
Release the buttons on both sides of the handle on top of the
main module: Now you can remove the two speaker modules to
the side.
3)
If required place the speaker modules and/or the mixer/amplifier
unit on speaker stands (not included): you will find a standard pole
socket (35 mm) on the bottom of every module.
4)
Connect the LEFT/MAIN and RIGHT/MON outputs in the OUTPUTS
section of the mixer/amplifier unit with the jacks on the rear of the
speaker modules using the supplied speaker cables (5m).
NOTE:
Route cables so that performers, production crew, and au-
dience will not trip and topple the speakers over.
5)
Next connect your external sources like microphones, instruments
and/or line devices with the Combo and stereo inputs on the front
of the mixer/amplifier unit. Please note that the input cables are
not supplied with the unit.
6)
Connect the mixer/amplifier unit with the mains outlet using the
supplied IEC power cord.
7)
Make sure to completely turn down all volume controls on the
mixer/amplifier unit before powering up Roadtrip 508.
