External Inputs
In addition to the QR10PA
’s own VHF microphones, 6.3mm jack inputs are provided to connect external wired or wireless
microphones, which are both governed by the MIC VOL control.
If required, the music level can be automatically muted when speaking into a microphone by switching the VCV on.
Also, twin RCA and 3.5mm stereo jack input are provided for line input sources such as CD player or ipod. To use these,
set the MODE switch on the USB/SD/FM player to “LINE IN”
. The line input is governed by the main VOLUME control at
the top of the panel.
Adjacent to the twin RCA input is a twin RCA line output carrying the overall main mix. This can be fed on to further
active speakers or portable PA units via a twin RCA lead.
VCV
The VCV button (15) activates a muting function which causes playback from the internal media player to be temporarily
reduced in level when there is input from a microphone. This can be useful to “duck” music playback when making
announcements.
Internal USB/SD/FM player-recorder
Insert a USB memory stick or SD card with mp3 or wma audio files stored on it into the relevant slot on the rear panel.
Playback should start automatically. If both USB and SD are inserted, pressing the MODE button will select between
playback from the different storage devices.
Increasing the main VOLUME control (14) on the rear panel should result in the audio being played through the speaker.
If playback does not start automatically, press the Play/Pause button or remove the device and check that the files stored
on it are the correct format, then re-insert and try again.
Alternatively, press the MODE button until the media player is in FM mode. Pressing Play/Pause initiates the auto-tune
function. This function scans and stores available FM radio stations into memory locations. Stored radio stations can then
be selected using the Previous and Next buttons. The media player
controls are detailed below…
