Connecting to the Milan MI5
1. Mains Connector and Fuseholder
Mains power is connected to the loudspeaker via a
combination IEC connector and fuseholder. The power supply
is auto-sensing and can be connected to mains supplies
ranging from 110 volts to 240 volts AC without the need to
change any settings.
2. Mains Switch
Rocker switch turns mains power on to the loudspeaker. Make
sure the level controls are fully off (MIN) before switching on.
3. Signal Input
These combo female XLR/jack connectors accept both XLR
connectors and mono (2 pole) or stereo (3 pole) ¼” jack plugs
for use with a variety of balanced and unbalanced
microphones, instruments and line sources. The inputs are
balanced to avoid hum loops and RF interference, and are
wired pin 2 hot, pin 3 cold.
4. Mic / Line Switch
Selects the input for that channel to accept either a low level,
low impedance microphone, or a high level, high impedance
source such as a mixing console, keyboard or acoustic
instrument with onboard electrics. The mic input is not suitable
for condenser microphones that require phantom power.
5. Level Control
Rotary level control which attenuates the input signal level of
the connected instrument / line source for that input channel.
The range (mic) is from -
∞
(
MIN) to +16.5dB (MAX) and (line)
from -
∞
(
MIN) to +40.6dB (MAX).
6. Bass Control and 7. Treble control
The bass control provides ±12dB of shelving at 200Hz, and the
treble control provides ±12dB of shelving at 4kHz. Always use
equalisation sparingly, aiming to cut rather than boost
especially when the loudspeaker is used near boundaries such
as walls or floors.
