GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), it will fit into the outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
If this product i s equipped with a three-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type plug.
POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING — If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection t o grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.
LIGHTNING — For added protection for this product
during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
POWER LINES — An outside antenna system should
not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
OVERLOADING — Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords, or as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

LT-15A Rear Panel Controls and Features
D
Rear Panel:
1. BALANCED XLR/1/4” COMBO LINE INPUT – This connection is designed to accept a bal-
anced line input signal from a mixer or other line level device with a balanced output jack. Use a balanced cable when the signal cable length exceeds 15 feet, this will reduce excessive signal loss. Be sure to connect only line level input devices such as mixers and tape machines to this jack.
2. XLR PARALLEL OUTPUT JACK – This jack is used to send the incoming line level signal from either of the Line Level Inputs Jacks to another DLT-15A or other line level input jack such as a mixer or power amp.
3. POWER LED - This LED will be lit when you switch on the power.
4. LOW CUT SWITCH -
5. LINE LEVEL INPUT VOLUME – This knob is used to regulate the output signal of the line level
source connected to the Line Level Input Jack (1).
TREBLE CONTROL – This knob is used to adjust the amount treble applied to the output sig-
nal. The maximum amount of treble gain is +15dB and the maximum amount of treble decrease is -15dB. Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of treble applied to a channel signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of treble applied to a channel signal.
MIDRANGE CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the midrange levels applied to the output
signal. The maximum amount of midrange gain is +12dB and the maximum amount of mid­range decrease is -12dB. Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of midrange applied to a channel signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of midrange applied to a channel signal.
BASS CONTROL – This knob is used to adjust the amount bass applied to the output signal.
The maximum amount of bass gain is +15dB and the maximum amount of bass decrease is
-15dB. Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of bass ap­plied to a channel signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of bass applied to a channel signal.
6. VOLTAGE SELECTOR - Because power supplies vary from location to location we have in­corporated a selectable voltage switch. This switch can select a voltage input of 120v~60Hz or 230v~50Hz. Always disconnect the power plug before changing the voltage.
7. MAIN POWER INLET – This connector is used to supply main power to the unit via the included detachable power cord. The power connection uses an I.E.C. type connector, use only the supplied polarized AC power cord. Use only a power cord that matches this type of connection. Be sure to only connect this unit to a power outlet that matches the printed power label on the unit. Never use a power when the ground prong has been removed or
broken o. The ground prong is used to reduce the risk of electrical shock in case of an elec­trical short. This cord is designed to t in one direction only. Do not attempt to force a cord if it does not t, be sure the cord is being inserted properly.
8. MAIN POWER SWITCH – This is the main power ON/OFF button. A green LED directly above the power switch will glow indicating power is ON. Before main power is applied, be sure you have made all connections to the speaker. Remember to avoid damaging pops to the speak-
ers, the mixer is turned on rst and turned o last.

FUSE HOLDER – This housing stores the 3.15 amp GMA protective fuse. Always replace with
the exact same type fuse, unless otherwise instructed, by an authorized American Audio® service technician. Replacing with any other type of fuse than that of the recommended fuse will void your unit warranty.

LT-15A Horn Rotation
D
The DLT-15A is equipped with a rotatable high frequency horn. The horn can be turned 90 degrees
when a diernet dispersion is desired; i.e. when rigging the speaker horizontally. Carefully follow the
directions below to rotate the horn.
1. Start by removing the 6 phillips screws located on each side, that hold the grille in place.
2. Carefully remove the grille from the speaker. DO NOT remove it completely! Seperate it enought to disconnect the Clip LED wire. See Step 3.
3. Slip your hand in between the grille and speaker and discon­nect the Clip LED wire.
4. Once you have disconnected the wire, remove the grille com­pletely to access the horn. Unscrew and remove the 8 phillips screws that hold the horn in place.
5. After unscrewing and removing the screws, carefully and gently pull the horn out of the housing (not all the way) and rotate the horn 90 de­grees.
6. Once you have rotated the horn, replace the scews that secure the horn, connect the clip LED wire, and secure the grille into place.

LT-15A Mounting Options
D
Pole Mounting – The DLT-15A also include a pole mount option. The
pole mount socket located on the bottom of the speaker may be used to secure the speaker to a speaker tri-pod, such as the American Audio® SPS-1B as illustrated on the left. Always be sure to follow the guidelines listed below when pole mounting your speaker;
• Always be sure the stand is designed to support the weight of
the speaker
• In outdoor situations that are prone to windy conditions and
strong wind gust, be sure to use sandbags as additional tri-pod support, this will greatly reduce the risk of tipping
• Do not stack speakers on top of each other when mounting on
a tri-pod. Only one speaker should be mounted to a tri-pod at one time.
• Always position the tri-pod legs away from foot traffic
• Extend the tri-pod legs to their fully extended position to avoid
accidental tipping
• Observe and follow all safety guidelines and regulations specified
by the tri-pod’s manufacturer
• Be sure the tri-pod is situated on a flat, level, and stable surface
• Always tighten all tri-pod locks.
