Sportsound Announcer’s Console Quick Start Guide

This guide will assist with starting up and operating a Sportsound

®

 Announcer’s console. For detailed console operation, configuration, and troubleshooting, 

refer to the 

Sportsound Announcer’s Console Operation Manual (DD1798480)

.

Startup

Before Beginning: 

Place the console on a flat, sturdy surface and open 

the cover. The cover may be completely removed and set aside if desired.

1.

  Connect one end of the XLR gooseneck to the wired microphone and 

     the other end into the jack on top of the announcer’s interface. A head-

 

     set microphone may be plugged here instead.

 

 

     

Note: 

The announcer’s interface may be taken out of the case and 

     placed up to 3' (1 m) away. 

 

2.

  Connect the 25' (7.6 m) XLR cable between the 

AUDIO OUT

 jack on 

     back of the console and the 

SYSTEM AUDIO

 jack on the bottom of 

     the fiber box. If there is no fiber box, the cable will typically connect to 

     a junction box instead.

 

3.

  Connect one end of the 5' (1.5 m) XLR cable to the LTIBLOX Laptop 

     Interface and the other end to 

MIC INPUT 3

. The 3.5 mm plug may 

     be connected to the headphone jack of a laptop or MP3 player. 

 

4.

  Locate the 3-prong power cord and plug into a standard outlet.

 

     Ensure the 

MIC LIVE

 LED on the announcer’s console is not active

 

     and all gain knobs on the mixer are turned down at this time.

 

5.

  Turn the SOUND SYSTEM switch to ON.

Power Down

Follow the above steps in reverse order to power down the system. 

 

Place all accessories in the storage compartment in the rear of the case 

and ensure nothing is pinched or squished when the lid is closed.
