SRM Loudspeaker: Rear Panel Features
1. Power Connection
This is a standard 3-prong IEC power connector.
Connect the detachable power cord (included in
the packaging with the loudspeaker) to the power
receptacle, and plug the other end of the power
cord into an AC outlet.
Make sure that the AC power is matched to
the AC power indicated on the rear panel
(below the IEC receptacle).
Disconnecting the plug’s ground pin is
dangerous. Don’t do it!
2. Power Switch
Press the top of this rocker switch inwards to turn
on the loudspeaker. The front panel Running Man
logo will glow with happiness...or at least it will
if the loudspeaker is plugged into a suitable live
AC mains supply and the main logo switch [10]
is disengaged.
Press the bottom of this rocker switch inwards to turn
off the loudspeaker.
As a general guide, SRM loudspeakers should
be turned on last, after any mixer or other
signal source. As such, they should also be
turned off first. This will reduce the possibility of any
turn-on or turn-off thumps and other noises generated
by any upstream equipment from coming out of the
speakers.
3. XLR and 1/4" Combo Inputs
Both channels feature 1/4" Wide-Z
™
inputs with
combo jacks that may accept balanced/unbalanced XLR
and 1/4" connections. The gain range of the Wide-Z
inputs may handle anything from an instrument level to
a high-output mic signal. Simply connect an XLR, TRS
or TS connector into the channel and adjust the gain
accordingly.
Please be aware of the position of the gain
knob [4].
NEVER connect the output of an amplifier
directly to the input of the loudspeaker.
This could damage the input circuitry
of the active loudspeaker.
They are wired as follows, according to standards
specified by the AES (Audio Engineering Society):
Balanced XLR Input Connector
Pin 1 – Shield (ground)
Pin 2 – Positive (+ or hot)
Pin 3 – Negative (– or cold)
