Setting up
When powered up, BASS and TREBLE controls (14, 13) should remain pointing vertically
(i.e. 12-o-clock position). Turn up the MASTER VOLUME control (12) part way.
Your PAL unit should now be ready to operate.
VHF Wireless Microphone
Extend the VHF antenna (18) at the rear of the unit. Insert 2 x AA batteries into the handheld
microphone by carefully unscrewing t
he base and connecting the “+” and “
-
”
terminals of the
batteries to the corresponding contacts inside the mic body, taking care to observe the correct
polarity and screw the base back onto the handset. Turn the VHF MIC VOL. control (4) up part
way for checking.
Switch on the wireless microphone and gradually increase the VHF MIC VOL control, testing the
microphone for output through the speaker. Note that the microphone switch has 2 positions -
the centre position is muted and the “fully up” p
osition is
“on”.
If the LED on the transmitter
lights dimly, change the batteries.
Take care not to incur “feedback” (howling or screechi
ng sound through the speaker) by
keeping the microphone a sensible distance from the speaker and pointing away from the
speaker s
o that it doesn’t
hear
the speaker output.
Turning the ECHO control (15) clockwise adds an echo function for singing or special effects.
When not in use, switch the wireless microphone off and remove batteries if not being used for
long periods.
External Connections
In addition to the included VHF microphone, a 6.3mm jack input (16) is provided to connect a
wired microphone which is governed by the MIC VOL control (19).
Another 6.3mm jack input (17) is provided to connect a guitar to the PAL unit which is
governed by the MIC VOL control (20).
A line input is also provided on either 3.5mm jack or 2 x RCA sockets (5) for playback from
wired input devices such as mp3 players, laptops or other line level stereo audio sources. This is
selected through the media player section as described on the next page.
The overall BASS or TREBLE (14, 13) tone character of the PAL output can be cut by turning
the relevant control anti-clockwise or boosted by turning clockwise. The best setting will depend
on the usage and environment. It is recommended to experiment to get the best results.
To connect a line output from the PAL onto another portable PA unit or active speaker for extra
sound coverage, use the 2 x RCA line output connectors (3) next to the line input.
