BASIC SYSTEM OPERATION
The AN-1000X+ is the most versatile powered monitor
on the market, is designed to amplify the signal from a
wide variety of input sources. Use it on an A/V rack, as
a studio monitor, in a trade show booth or on a US Navy
warship, you decide.
Here’s how easy it is to use:
1. Place the AN-1000X+ in desired location
2. Plug the power cord into a grounded AC outlet
3. Plug an audio source into one of the three input
jacks on the back panel:
• LINE IN - RCA jack
• LINE IN - 1/4-inch phone jack
• BALANCED INPUT* - XLR jack
4. Turn volume control on front panel to minimum
5. Set power switch on back panel to ON
(red LED on front panel should light)
6. Adjust the volume, bass & treble controls to
desired levels
*BALANCED INPUT JACK
The balanced XLR input jack allows the AN-1000X+
to be used in a variety of applications. The input can
be user configured for a Lo-Z microphone or bridging
balanced line-level inputs

input has 15 volt phantom power which may be
switched on or off.
The factory default setting is for microphone-level
inputs with 15 volts DC phantom power. Follow the
instructions below to change settings.

which can be switched on or off.
LINE OUT
The line-level output provides a
replica of the composite input signal. Use it for direct recording or
to daisy-chain additional powered
sound systems to the AN-1000X+

FEEDBACK
Feedback is a howling noise or shrill sound that is
self-generated by the sound system. It is caused by a
microphone picking up the sound coming from the speaker
and then being re-amplified. Once a feedback loop is started
it will continue until the system is adjusted.
FEEDBACK CAUSES
• Microphone too close, pointing towards or in front of

DIVERSITY WIRELESS BY ANCHOR AUDIO
Anchor Audio UHF wireless is a 16 channel, diversity wireless system that receives signals with two independent antennae. With diversity
wireless the receiver processes the stronger signal, effectively minimizing dropouts and interference from other transmitting sources. The
antennae are mounted internally so there are no obstructions or risk of damage. The 8000 series wireless operates between 540 - 570 MHz.
CHANNEL SELECTION - BUILT-IN RECEIVER
Select a channel, set the built-in receiver & microphone transmitter
to that channel before using your wireless system.
1. Choose any available wireless channel from 1 thru 16
(see page 4 for transmitter instructions)
2. Set the Wireless Channel Selection Knob to the channel you
choose in step 1
If you have two wireless receivers repeat above for the second receiver.
Remember, each receiver/transmitter pair must be set to different
channels to avoid interference.

CONTROLLING FEEDBACK
Feedback, a howling noise or shrill sound, is
self-generated by the sound system. It’s caused
by a microphone picking up the sound coming
from the speaker and then re-amplifying it. Once
a feedback loop starts, it continues until the
system is adjusted.
FEEDBACK CAUSES
• Microphone too close, pointing towards
• Volume setting is too loud for room
• Sound reflecting off hard surfaces
NOTE: If you experience ongoing interference with your wireless system, the selected frequency may be incompatible with other systems in the area.
Try different channels to find a clear frequency.
Change channels until you find a clear frequency.
AVOIDING & ELIMINATING FEEDBACK
• Point microphone in a different direction
• Keep microphone away from the speaker
• Place speaker in FRONT of the microphone
• Reduce the sound system volume levels
