SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1. Wireless Microphone Modules (Sold Separately)
The Phonic WR-1 UHF wireless receivers can be installed
here. The Smartman speakers will feature a blank
faceplate which can be removed and replaced with the
UHF wireless receiver modules (sold separately). These
modules simply slide into the receiver slot and can be
screwed into place.
2. Gain Control
This control allows you to adjust the incoming signal from
their corresponding input jacks.
3. Combo Input Jack
This connector accepts both XLR and ¼” phone jack
connectors for either balanced or unbalanced connectors.
The incoming signal level can be adjusted using the
corresponding “Gain Control” (#2).
4. Stereo Input Connectors
These ¼” phone jacks are for the connection of stereo
input signals from such devices as mixers, keyboards,
etcetera.
5. RCA Input Connectors
These connectors are for unbalanced RCA connectors,
typically used on consumer products like CD and DVD
players.
6. Peak Indicator
The Peak indicator is found on each input channel. It
will light up when the input signal from the channel hits
high peaks that could potentially affect your audio. If this
occurs, Phonic suggests turning down the “Gain Control”
(#2) slightly.
7. USB Connector
Connect USB flash drives to this port. These drives can
contain mp3 or wma files for playback of digital audio.
Digital audio files can also be recorded directly to the USB
flash drive. (in WAV/MP3 format).
8. USB Recorder Screen
This screen will display the current status of the
Smartman’s USB player. This could include information
on currently playing tracks (including track title, playtime,
etcetera). It is also used to view menus and options when
tracks are not playing.
9. Stop / Menu Button
This button has two main functions. The first is the stop
button, which obviously stops the currently playing track.
It also allows access to the USB player’s menus. By
pushing and holding this button for 2 seconds, you will
access the USB recorder’s menu where you will be able
to adjust settings such as repeat mode.
10. Forward / Reverse Buttons
These buttons can be used to skip back and forth between
audio tracks. Pushing and holding these buttons will allow
for fast forwarding/rewinding of the currently playing track.
11. Play Button
This button is used to play the currently selected track
on the USB player. When a track is currently playing, it is
also used as a pause button. In addition to this, the play
button acts as the “Enter” button when navigating menus.
12. Main Output
The main output of the Smartman features both XLR and
¼” phone jack outputs. The XLR output acts as the “left”
output and the ¼” connector acts as the “right”. These
are accompanied by a switch that selects output mode.
When “L+R” is selected, the left and right signals of the
Smartman will be combined and both of the Main Outputs
will essentially be mono outputs. When L/R is selected,
the Main Output will send the left and right output signals
accordingly.
13. Bluetooth Switch and Indicator
Use this switch to activate the Smartman’s BT streaming
option. When activated, you will be able to find the
Smartman in your phone or tablet’s Bluetooth menu as
an available device.
