USAGE
Using the two-way (2x subw 1x tweeter), bass-reflex active sound box is primarily
recommended for hobby and party entertainment purposes. To increase volume and sound
quality, it can be connected to an optional passive sound box: PAR 225.
With the help of the wireless BT connection, the backside AUX RCA pair, and the 3 pcs
Ć
6,3 mm sockets' (MIC1, MIC2, GUITAR) inputs, you can connect directly external devices
to it, for example: mobile phone, computer, CD/DVD player, musical instruments,
microphone, mixer… The device includes a BT/USB/microSD/MP3 multimedia player and
a speakerphone for microphones. The enhanced KARAOKE function is capable of filtering
out or suppressing the original vocals. In addition to the two wired microphone inputs, it also
comes with two wireless microphones, so you can use up to four microphones
simultaneously.
INSTALLATION AND FUNCTION CHANGE
Perform all connections when the system is unplugged. Make sure that the sound box and
the device to be connected are switched off. Make sure that the connector's polarity and
their connection are according to the requirements. Keep the microphone cable and the
audio cable away from the power cable. The power cable must first be plugged into the
sound box and then into the power outlet. Before powering on the system for the first time,
make sure that the connections are correct. Make sure the connections are stable and free
of short-circuits, the VOLUME control should be set in the minimum position so that no
noise is generated by the speakers. To turn it on, set the POWER rocker switch to ON
position. The upper control panel has two LEDs and a digital display. After the welcome
message, the display shows the BLUE function. The wireless BT connection is active then.
Other modes can be selected with the MODE button (BLUE/USB/SD) or when you insert
the USB/microSD device, it automatically switches to MP3 player mode. The AUX push-
button activates the backside 2xRCA inputs. After use, turn it off at the backside ( POWER
OFF ) and unplug it from the mains.
• If a USB or microSD storage is already inserted when the power is turned on, playback will
begin automatically.
• If there is no sound, check the AUX button. When it is turned off, the external equipment
connected to the rear RCA connectors can be listened to.
IF YOU HAVE TWO SPEAKERS: STEREO SOUNDING
You can connect this amplifier sound box to a passive sound box without amplifier, if you
purchase if separately. Option: SAL PAR 225. Do not connect any other model as it may
cause a malfunction. It is forbidden to connect two external sound boxes at the same time
as it may cause malfunction.
Together, the two sound boxes provide STEREO sounding (BT, MP3, AUX). On the rear
speaker clip output ( SPEAKER OUT 4-8 Ohm ) – according to the required polarity (red: +,
black: -) – connect the given type sound box (1 pc), when the system is switched off. Make
sure that the end of the speaker cable do not touch each other or any other wire, connector,
screw, etc.
• The extension of the two cables connecting the two boxes (speaker cable and LED power
supply) must be carried out by a qualified technician using a speaker cable of at least
2 2x0,75 mm cross section. Unprofessional intervention may cause malfunction, which is
not covered by the warranty.
VOLUME CONTROL
Volume control works in three different modes to the different signal sources: with the
VOLUME rotary knob, by holding pressed the scroll buttons of the multimedia units
(BT/USB/microSD) and with the M VOL rotary knob to the microphones.
• If the volume control of the multimedia unit is in minimum position, the volume of the
(BT/USB/microSD) signal sources cannot be increased neither with the VOLUME rotary
knob. Do not forget that these two settings have an effect on each other.
• Pressing the button shortly may activate another function depending on the accurate
operation mode of the device.
THE MAXIMAL VOLUME
All speakers must be operated in prior to proper use. Operate only at 50 % load for the first
30–50 hours of operation.
At higher volume levels, in some cases, distorted, lower quality sound may occur. This can
be caused by an input signal that is too large. To avoid this, reduce the signal level of the
external equipment or, if necessary, decrease the volume ( VOLUME ). The maximum
volume of the system is that which can still can be heard in good quality without distortion.
• Increasing the volume will no longer increase the output power, but it increases the
distortion of the system. This is harmful to the speakers and can cause malfunctions.
• If you are connecting a microphone, place it as far away from the sound box as possible to
eliminate feedback. Do not point the sound box towards the microphone as the feedback
will damage the speakers. When using a microphone, gently increase the volume, and if
you experience feedback, immediately rewind the controller and if necessary, reposition
the box.
TONE CONTROL
There are several options, so you can set up the perfect sounding to suit every need. Note
that different signal sources and volume levels require different settings, otherwise the
sound quality may decline. Distorted sound is harmful to the speakers. The settings can be
applied together, influence each other and may cause distortion if not adjusted properly.
Sound effect options: 5-band graphic EQUALIZER, BASS (deep) and TREBLE (high)
rotary knobs and EQ push-button between the control buttons of the multimedia unit.
(NORMAL / ROCK / POP / CLASSICAL / JAZZ / SOFT)
Recommended setting: NORMAL (EQ switched off) and high/deep controllers rotated to
middle position; by controlling the 5-way graphic tone-control carefully, manually.
GRAPHIC EQUALIZER (EQUALIZER)
You can increase or decrease the volume at 5 different frequencies along the controls:
100 Hz – 330 Hz – 1 kHz – 3,3 kHz – 10 kHz. There is no intervention (0 dB) in the middle
position.
WIRELESS BT CONNECTION
The device can be paired with other devices that communicate with BT protocol, within a
range of up to 10 meters. After that, you can listen to music played on your mobile phone,
tablet, notebook, and other similar devices. Select the BT function, on the display the BLUE
sign is readable. In the way it’s written in the instruction manual of the device to be paired,
search the devices nearby which have BT wireless connection, including this speaker.
Connect the two devices with each other. In case of successful connection, the BLUE sign
that was flashing until then is continuously readable on the screen. The desired program is
then heard on the loudspeaker. Usually the player application of the playback device (e.g.
on a mobile phone) can be remotely controlled by briefly pressing the / / buttons.
• One speaker can be paired with a BT device at the same time.
• Once turned on, it will automatically reconnect to a previously paired and properly
connected device, if it is nearby.
• If the wireless connection is lost, press the MODE button as needed until you reach BT
again and pairing mode is reactivated
• If you receive a phone call to your connected mobile phone while listening to music, the
music will be paused. After the call, resume playback on the phone.
• The actual range depends on the other device and the environment. (e.g. walls, human
bodies, other electrical devices, movement…)
• Abnormal operation, noise may be caused by the electrical appliances operating nearby,
this does not indicate the malfunction of the device.
• Malfunctions may be caused by the specific features of the external device, this does not
indicate the malfunction of the device. Occasionally, the BT function may be limited
depending on the external device.
MP3 PLAYBACK FROM USB/MICROSD STORAGE
The INPUT push-button in the upper right corner of the control panel must be on ( USB )
state, if you would like to listen to the multimedia unit (BT or MP3). The player is ready when
the unit is switched on. Insert carefully the USB or microSD storage and the device
automatically switches to MP3 playback operation mode, then playback starts. USB or SD
sign appears on the display and the remained time is readable, and the number of the track
when scrolling. To start playback, press the button, but it starts automatically after
inserting the external unit. You can pause playback with the same button ( PAUSE ) or select
the desired track with the scroll buttons . By holding the latter pressed, you control
the volume.
Some extra functions can only be activated when the multimedia unit is operated.
