AREAS OF USE
This pair of three-way, bass reflex active speakers is ideal for portable devices such as MP3 players, Discmans, notebooks, or
for fixed audio devices like desktop computers, CD/DVD players, TV sets. It can be connected to a broad range of outputs after
purchasing the right connection cable.
The device includes a built-in end amplifier, a mixer, and a reverb circuit. After turning on with the POWER switch at the back, the LED
above the controls is lit up. You can directly connect one or two microphones simultaneously (through the two MIC sockets) and a stereo
device with line output (INPUT RCA sockets on the back panel, e.g., DVD/CD player, tape recorder, computer etc.). The microphones' volume
and reverb delay can be adjusted with the M.VOL and ECHO controls. The VOLUME control adjusts the combined volume of the three channels.
Besides that it is possible to adjust tone with the TREBLE and BASS controls.
Use the clip-on connector (OUT R) at the back of the active speaker to connect it with the matching connector of the passive box. Only use the
passive box that comes with the set. Take care to use the correct polarity (red: positive; black: negative). Use a good quality speaker cable of the
2
required length, with a minimum diameter of
2 x 0.75-1 mm .
CONNECTION
Always connect the speaker with the power switched off. Make sure to connect the speaker cables correctly and with the right polarity. Lead the
microphone cable and the speaker cable away from the power cord.
When not using the device, unplug the power cord. Before you first power up the system (POWER button) make sure that everything is connected
correctly. Connections should be stable and without short circuits, and the M.VOL and VOLUME controls must be set to the minimum level. Connect
an audio signal (CD player, microphone etc.) to the device. After turning on the device, first slowly turn the VOLUME control clockwise, then do the
same with the M.VOL control (if a microphone is connected).
MAXIMUM VOLUME
Every speaker must be "run in" before regular use. In the first 30 to 50 hours only use them at 50% load at most. During this period, do not drive the
speakers at volumes close to the maximum load.
In certain cases you might experience distorted, bad quality sound at higher volumes. This can happen if the input signal's level is too high. If the
sound is distorted, decrease the volume immediately, and if needed, turn off the device. Connecting devices with an inadequate signal level can
easily overdrive the speakers. The system's maximum volume is the level which is still emitted in good quality and without distortion.
By further increasing the volume the system's output power does not increase any further; instead, its distortion grows. This is extremely harmful for
the speaker's voice coils and can lead to damage.
When using a microphone, locate it as far from the speakers as possible (and preferably behind them, not in front of them) to avoid howling. The
speaker should not be directed towards the microphone as howling can damage the speaker. When using a microphone increase the volume
carefully, and if you experience howling, immediately turn the volume back down. If needed, change the location of the microphone or the speaker.
The guarantee does not cover damage resulting from improper use.
WARNINGS
•
Do not connect any cables when the device is working. Never turn on the system with the volume at a high level. The pop or other noise spike which
can be heard when switching on will immediately cause irreparable damage to the speaker.
•
Turn off and disconnect the amplifier and consult a technician at the smallest suspicious sign of trouble (e.g., strange smell, distorted sound, sound
goes off etc.). By doing so you can often prevent damage to the speakers.
•
Protect from sunlight, humidity and water. Do not expose to direct heat.
•
Protect from extreme temperatures.
•
The device is for use only indoors, in a dry environment.
•
The metal plate at the back can warm up, do not touch while the device is being used.
•
Do not dismantle or tamper with the device. Electric shock hazard! Because of the presence of network voltage, always observe the usual life
protection rules.
•
If the power cord is damaged, unpower the device immediately.
•
When finished using the device, unplug it.
•
The warranty is not applicable to damage caused by irresponsible or improper use.
•
Speakers use magnets, you should therefore avoid placing objects sensitive to magnetism (e.g., credit cards, audio tapes, compasses) near
them.
•
Never touch the rubber edge and membrane of the speakers with your hands. Keep children away because they can easily damage the
product.
•
Clean with a soft, dry cloth and a brush. Never use aggressive detergents for cleaning.
