STEP1

 Makesuretheloudspeakerisunplugged.

 BesurethemasterswitchistosettotheOFFposition.

 TurntheMAINLEVELtothelowestlevel(fullycounter‐clockwise)

 Checkthattheloudspeakervoltageselectorissettothesamevoltageasthe

 Placetheloudspeakerintheideallocation.

 Connectthesource audioequipmentoutputto theloudspeakerINPUT.Be



STEP3



 ConnectthepowercordtotheloudspeakerandACpoweroutlet.

 SetthemasterPOWERswitchtotheONpositionandverifytherearPOWER

LEDindicatorisilluminated.

 SlowlyturntheMAINLEVELknobclockwiseuntilthesoundoutputisatthe

 Neverpointamicrophonedirectlyataloudspeakerasthiswillresultinextremefeedback

(unwanted sound). Be sure the loudspeaker is placed away from thefrontofthe

microphoneordirectlybehindthemicrophonewheninafloormonitorposition.

 Whenusedwithturntables,carefullyplacetheloudspeakersothatanyvibrationsdonot

interferewiththeturntableperformanceandfunctionality.

 Avoid placing the loudspeaker in the corners or along the walls of a room. This will

increasethelow‐frequencysoundsandthesoundwillresultinamuddyandincoherent

soundreproduction.

 Avoidplacingthespeakersdirectlyonahollowstage.Itisbettertoplacetheloudspeakers

ontripodstandsorasturdytable.

 Theloudspeakershouldbeplacedtwotofourfeetabovetheearleveloftheaudience

sincethehumanbody canabsorbsoundespeciallyathighfrequencies.Thiswillmake
