English

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Phonic

Smartman Intelligent All-In-One Audio Systems. These

systems incorporate everything one would expect to find

in a typical front-of-house setup, but completely integrated

into a convenient, intelligent system. Complete with active

speaker, multi-channel mixers, wireless microphone

systems (sold separately) and extensive onboard signal

processing, the Smartman systems are fully-loaded with

everything you need for a live audio system.
Available in 3 different speaker configurations, the

Smartman 303A/703A features an 8” or 12” woofer

matched with just the right amount of power to provide

phenomenal sounds in any venue. The system expansion

options provide a means to extend the systems beyond

just a simple setup to a much more advanced, multi-

speaker setup.
We know how eager you are to get started – getting the

Smartman out and hooking up all your gear is probably

your number one priority right now – but before you do,

we strongly urge you to take a look through this manual.

Inside, you will find important facts and figures on the set

up, use and applications of your brand new mixer. After

reading through the manual, please store it in a place

that is easy for you to find, because chances are there’s

something you missed the first time around.

BASIC SETUP

There are obviously many potential setup possibilities

for the Smartman system. Here we’re just going to go

through the basics to give you an idea of where to start.
1. First and foremost, make sure the Smartman is turned

off and unplugged before making any connections.

2. Once you ensure the Smartman is off, you can make

your input and output connections. Phonic suggests

using ribbon or dynamic microphones for the Mic

Inputs, instruments or CD players for line inputs, and

digital audio players on RCA inputs. For outputs, you

can connect Phonic Smartman Expansion Speakers

to the MAIN OUT connectors. Be sure to set the L/R

(stereo) and L+R (mono) to the position best for your

purposes.

3. Connect the Smartman’s Ethernet port to the Ethernet

port on your Windows-based system via the shipped

adapter.

4. Plug in the Smartman and turn on the power.
5. Open the Windows software and the control software

will establish the connection automatically.

6. Please set the input level you wish to use under the

“Input” page.

7. Preview the audio you will be sending into channel

1 of the Smartman system. Slowly turn up the

accompanying Gain control until you get the level

you’re after.

8. Repeat step 7 for further channels and inputs.
9. For the USB Recorder and Bluetooth streaming

functions, set the virtual software fader at the lowest

position and slowly increase it until you find an

acceptable level. For Bluetooth streaming, the default

input level is 0 db. Please set Gain level knobs on the

rear panel to minimum and then set to the level you will

use.

CONTROLLING THE SOFTWARE

While the Smartman remote software on both Windows

PCs and the iPad is similar in appearance, the actual

control of the software may be different.
On the Windows software, virtual rotary controls are

adjusted using the mouse. The value of the control can

be increase and decrease by clicking left and right mouse

buttons respectively or by clicking and dragging to right

and left.
Virtual faders can simply be dragged up and down on

screen using the mouse.
Adjusting the rotary controls on the iPad is slightly

different. Push and hold the rotary control onscreen and

drag your finger up and down the screen to increase and

decrease the value.
