Introduction
The PAS 100 is a portable amplified speaker with the battery built in. It is designed to be used for voice
reinforcement and music playback for hotels, convention centres, ballrooms, conference rooms, lecture
halls, fitness instruction, outdoor sports, live music performance and anywhere else a sound system needs
to be easily and quickly set up. Out of the box it may be connected to any dynamic microphone, MP3, CD
or other music player. Total integrated wireless operation in one box requires using the optional
Sennheiser Evolution wireless microphone receiver.
Unpacking
Carefully remove the PAS 100 from its carton and save all packing materials should the unit need to be
shipped in the future. Save the two faceplates with holes in them as they will be needed for mounting a
CD player or wireless receiver now or in the future.
Battery Charging
Plugging the unit into an AC outlet will begin charging the battery. When the speaker is plugged into a
live AC outlet the red AC light next to the power switch will illuminate. It is possible to both charge the
speaker and use it at the same time. Full charging will take approximately 8 hours when the power is
switched off. Successful charging is indicated by the blinking battery bar graph. When the bar graph
displays all 4 segments illuminated and has stopped blinking, and the red AC light is illuminated, the unit
is fully charged.
Connecting a Cabled Microphone
Any microphone that does not require phantom power may be used with the PAS 100 microphone input.
Possible microphones choices include popular and rugged dynamic microphones (i.e. Sennheiser e815) or
condenser microphones with integrated phantom power packs. Turn the Master Volume to the second
line on the dial. Attach the microphone to the input labelled Mic. In. Speak into the microphone and turn
up the input knob over the microphone input until the red Input Overload light begins to flash. Turn the
volume back down until the light stops flashing and then turn it down one line more. Turn up the Master
Volume until the sound is loud enough. When a squeeling or whistling sound is heard immediately turn
the Master Volume all the way down and slowly turn it back up.
Connecting a Music Player
To connect and MP3 or CD player to the PAS 100, use an adapter cable with RCA (cinch) connectors and
plug them into the input labelled Aux In L/R. Turn the Master Volume to the second line on the dial. Start
playing the loudest music you have and turn up the input knob over the Aux Input until the red Input
Overload light begins to flash. Turn the volume back down until the light stops flashing and then turn it
down one line more. Turn up the Master Volume until the sound is loud enough.
