CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS OVERVIEW
INPUT SECTION:
This is where you may plug in microphones, instruments, keyboards, drum machines and other audio devices, adjust the
volume, bass and treble.
1.
MIC Inputs:
These XLR inputs are designed for low-impedance microphones or equipment that has a mic-leve
l
a
dv
anced
output (often called a Direct Out). Note
: These
inputs receive 15-volt phantom power. This is used to provide
power to
condenser
microphones. Phantom power will not damage any dynamic or non-condenser microphone.
2.
LINE Inputs:
These ¼-inch inputs may be used to connect high-impedance microphones or keyboards, drum
machines
and
other audio devices.
3.
AUX IN:
Use this stereo input to connect an external audio device such as an MP3, CD player or computer for playback
Note: Right and Left channels are summed to mono on this input
4.
Volume:
Use these controls to adjust the volume level of each channel and the relative balance between them.
5.
Low:
Determines the emphasis of bass frequencies. Turning this knob clockwise creates a deeper, warmer tone. If you
need
a brighter sound, reduce the bass by turning counterclockwise.
6.
High:
Turned clockwise, this control accents treble frequencies to produce clearer, crisper sound. Turn counterclockwise
to
make the sound softer and less bright.

9.
POWERLINK IN:
This balanced XLR Jack accepts the POWERLINK output from another
PW505
/
BT using
a standard mic
cable. Channels from both Powerwerks
PW505/
BT’s are summed together. Use the channel volume controls to get the mix of
the
channels (If a channel is not used turn the volume all the way down). MASTER volume controls the loudness of the
mix
thr
ough its PW50
5/
BT. It does not affect volume of a linked PW50
5/
BT.

BT using
a standard
mic
cable. Channels from both PW50
5
BT’s are summed together. Use the channel volume controls to get the mix of the 6
channels (If a channel is not used turn the volume all the way down). MASTER volume controls the loudness of the

11.
Subwoofer Out:
The PW50
5
/
BT subwoofer output jack sends a line level unbalanced low frequency signal crossed
over
at 150Hz to a powered subwoofer. It will also work with any powered subwoofer that accepts a line level input. A
crossover
that
rolls off the frequencies below 150Hz through the PW50
5
/
BT’s speakers is activated when using this jack
with
a
standard
¼”
mono (tip/Sleeve) SHIELDED instrument cable. When Subwoofer jack is not used, this crossover is
bypassed
and
PW50
5
BT
speakers are full range. Note: It is recommended to connect subwoofer using a standard ¼” mono
(tip/sleeve)
SHIELDED
instrument cable be
w
cause the sleeve connection to ground activates crossover on speakers.
