orchestral purposes. In addition to the speakers, the device contains a built-in amplifier,
microphone echo and MP3 / FM / BT multimedia player. You can directly connect external
devices such as a CD / DVD player, a microphone, an instrument, a mixer, a computer, a
mobile phone. An external passive sound box can be connected to the clip on speaker
output (option: SAL PAX 2

guaranteed!)

INSTALLATION

Make sure the connections conform to the functions indicated on the control panel. All audio
connections should be done when the device is powered off! The stage cabinet and the
devices to be connected should be powered off. Make sure that the connections and their
polarity meet the prescriptions. Keep the microphone, audio connecting cables, and
speaker wire away from the power cord. Connect the power cable first to the stage cabinet
(AC INPUT) and then to the AC Adapter. Before first placing the system under voltage,
check that the connections are correct. The connections should be stable and free of short-
circuit, the

VOLUME

control should be adjusted in the minimum position, so the resulting

noise does not damage your stage cabinet! To turn the device on, you need to switch the

PAY ATTENTION ON THE ACTUAL SETTINGS OF BOTH VOLUME CONTROLS! IF

YOU HAVE LIMITED THE VOLUME BY PRESSING THE PREV / DOWN BUTTON, YOU
CAN NOT INCREASE THE VOLUME WITH THE KNOB OVER A CERTAIN LEVEL, AND
VICE VERSA.

MAXIMUM VOLUME

All speakers have to be broken in prior to proper use. Operate only at 50 % load for the first
30–50 hours of operation! At higher volume settings – in some cases – distorted, bad sound

quality may be experienced. This may be caused by an overly high input signal level. To
avoid this, when the circuit control LED line is over-controlled, decrease the signal level of
the input channel or if it is necessary, the

VOLUME

The maximum volume of the system is that which can be heard in high quality without
distortion.

•

When turning the volume up beyond this point, output power will not increase, while the
distortion level will grow! This is very harmful to the speakers and may lead to faults!

•

Increase the volume only till the level you can't hear distortion!

•

If you connect a microphone, place it as far from the speaker box as you can, to avoid

feedback! The speaker box should not be aimed toward the microphone, as feedback is
harmful to the speakers! When using a microphone, increase the volume carefully, and
immediately rotate it off when you experience feedback, and reposition the speaker box, if
needed!

GRAPHIC EQUALIZER

The volume can be increased or decreased at 5 different frequencies indicated by
controllers: 100 Hz – 340 Hz – 1 kHz – 3,4 kHz – 10 kHz. There is no interference in the
middle position (0 dB).The individual high and low equalizer on the upper part can also be
used. It is not recommended to use both regulators at the same time and / or to set to
extreme positions. Sometimes this can hurt the sound quality.

WIRED AUDIO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

You have the following options to connect external devices with a headphone output or
other audio output to the amplifier:

AUDIO INPUT:

2xRCA summed mono input for devices with stereo audio output. The

connected equipment immediately sounds when the sound box is switched on.

MIC1 IN:

6,3 mm

socket for microphone (6.)

MIC2 IN:

6,3 mm

socket for microphone (7.)

AUDIO OUTPUT:

clip-on connector for passive sound box (option: PAX 2

•

The available sound quality depends on the quality of audio signal provided by the
