Operation
Powering the SyStem
CorreCtly
Before switching on any part of the system,
ensure the mixer and any other signal
processors are turned on. The power
input and output for the QM600ASi are
lockable Powercon NA3 series power in/
out connectors. Firstly, connect the power
supply cable and then the XLR signal cable.
Before turning on the internal sub amplifier,
set the volume control to the minimum level.
It is important that the mixer is already ON
before turning on the speaker. This will avoid
damage to the speakers and possible loud
noises on start up.
It is best practice to switch on powered
speakers last and turn them off first when
packing down.
Once the signal path has been checked and
all volume controls are set to zero, turn the on
speaker then adjust the volume control to the
desired level.
Setting levelS and oPerating
tiPS
A speaker system sounds best when there is
no distortion occurring. All parts of the system
need to be set so that they are operating
within their designed operational range. This
means no part of the signal chain is showing
red clip lights or is likely to have sudden large
volume changes.
To ensure this is the case, firstly ensure there
are no overloaded inputs. At the mixer side,
it is best practice to set the levels so the
channel and master volumes at the input
gain are at a level that will provide ample
headroom before clipping. This will allow for
large volume changes at the signal input side.
