3 Applications
PAK-110MK2, PAK-112MK2 and PAK-115MK2
are powerful active speaker systems in robust
plastic cabinets . They are suited for versatile ap-
plications, e . g . for dances, for small stages or as
monitor speakers for bands .
A line signal can be fed in via the balanced
XLR jack or, in an unbalanced way, via the
RCA jacks . In addition, the speaker systems are
equipped with a microphone input (PAK-115MK2
with two microphone inputs) . The signal of this
input can be added to the line signal . The signal
output will allow connection of another active
speaker system .
The integrated limiter will protect the speak-
ers from excessive signal levels .
4 Setting Up and Connecting
Set up the speaker system on a solid surface,
e . g . on the stage or on a table and position it
towards the audience . The tweeters should be at
ear level, if possible . If a microphone is used, do
not position the speaker towards the microphone
and keep a sufficient distance to the microphone;
otherwise acoustic feedback (loud howling) may
occur .
Alternatively, place the speaker system via
the stand sleeve on its lower side onto a standard
speaker stand with a 35 mm tube diameter (e . g .
PAST series from IMG STAGELINE) . After position-
ing the speaker system, fasten the screw (18) .
For additional mounting options, the cabinet
is provided with three M8 threaded inserts (two
on its upper side, one on its lower side) .
When positioning the speaker system, always
make sure that air will flow freely through the
cooling fins (6) on the rear side to provide suffi-
cient cooling .
4.1 Connecting a signal source
For connecting a signal source with line level
(e . g . CD player, output of a mixer), the following
options will be possible:
– For balanced signals, the XLR jack (4) is suitable
(pin configuration
☞
chapter 6) .
– For unbalanced signals, the RCA jacks (3) are
suitable . When both RCA jacks or the RCA jacks
and the XLR jack (4) are used at the same time,
the input signals will be mixed . This will create
a mono signal when a stereo signal source is
connected .
It will be possible to connect a microphone
to the XLR jack or the 6 .3 mm jack MIC [1] IN (1) .
Both jacks are designed for balanced signals . Via
a two-pole 6 .3 mm plug, it will be possible to
connect a microphone with unbalanced output
signal to the 6 .3 mm jack .
With the jacks MIC 2 IN (2), model PAK-
115MK2 offers an additional connection for a
microphone .
4.2 Signal output
At the XLR jack and the 6 .3 mm jack LINE OUT
(5) [connected in parallel], the mixed signal of the
input signals for routing to another active speaker
system, an amplifier or a recorder will be available
as a balanced signal with line level . The output
signal will be independent of the adjustment of
the overall volume control MASTER LEVEL (10) .
4.3 Power supply
Connect the mains cable provided to the
mains jack (16) and the plug to a mains socket
(230 V/ 50 Hz) .
5 Operation
CAUTION
Never adjust a very high volume . Per-
manent high volumes may damage
your hearing! Your ear will get accus-
tomed to high volumes which do not
seem to be that high after some time . Therefore,
do not further increase a high volume after get-
ting used to it .
Note:
To prevent switching noise, always switch on the
active speaker system after the signal sources connected
and switch it off first after use .
1) Set the control MASTER LEVEL (10) to mini-
mum (left stop) for the time being and switch
on the speaker system with the POWER switch
(15) . The LED ON (14) will light up .
The following operating steps merely serve as an
aid; you may also proceed differently .
2) As a basic adjustment, for the time being, set
the LEVEL controls (7 – 9) to minimum (left stop)
and the tone controls (11, 12) to mid-position .
3) Adjust the overall volume with the control
MASTER LEVEL (10) . Turn up the control to
approximately mid-position so that the subse-
quent adjustments will be audible .
4) If a signal source is connected to the input
LINE IN (3, 4), turn up the corresponding LEVEL
