power and then adjust LINE IN 2 volume control to a desired level.

3 LOW-HIGH TONE can be adjusted. (refer to P.6)

TONE for WIRED and WIRELESS MICROPHONE and MUSIC

2-4. TONE for WIRED and WIRELESS MICROPHONE and MUSIC

TONE adjustment is actually used to increase or reduce the high/low frequency component of

the speaker's restored sound. It is so-called raising or attenuating HIGH (HI) / BASS (LOW) via

frequency-specific volume knob to improve human voices or make musical instruments’ sound

more prominent. According to the scale mark on the panel, clockwise adjustment is to increase /

boost high frequency and decrease / attenuate low frequency, opposite to increase / boost low

frequency and decrease / attenuate high frequency.

Adjust the level of high frequency (HI) and low frequency (LOW). All signals have been

balanced by the high and low sounds after entering the amplifier so it is not necessary to adjust

the TONE during the output to the speaker. It is recommended to maintain the position of TONE

at just 12 o'clock. default

Adjustment reference:

◼ HI (TREBLE): It is the basic part of the sound. It accounts for 70% of the entire audio energy

and is an important component to display the music style. When appropriate, the BASS is

relaxed and the sound is full and soft. If you feel the sound is thin, you can moderately

increase the BASS. If you feel the sound is muffled, not clear, or too nasal, you can

moderately reduce the BASS.

◼ LOW (BASS): It’s the frequency that affects the sound layering. If you feel that the sounds of

instruments such as Piccolo and Flute are too prominent, or the tooth sound of the voice is

too heavy and the tone is sharp, you can moderately reduce the TREBLE.

2-5. VOICE PRIORITY

Voice Priority operation is only necessary when CD/USB/MP3 is playing.

When the Voice Priority switch is ON, the ducking function will be activated. While the music is

playing, a voice input from either a WIRED or WIRELESS MICROPHONE will temporarily

override and lower the volume of the background music and voice could be heard more clearly.

Background music will return to its original setting when no audio input is

entering the microphone after certain seconds. However, if the microphone is

not switch off, the reentering of music into the microphone will also activate the

voice priority function.

3. Application

3-1. Connecting L/R stereo speakers (SP OUT)

Plug the external speaker’s audio cable to the 4P PHOENIX jacks on the rear panel. The

speaker’s impedance must be 4-8Ω or more. When using 4P PHOENIX for connection, please

accord with the positive (+) and negative (-) polarities.
