Recommended Set-up Procedure

Ideally volume on the unit should be set at maximum before the microphone volume is adjusted to the desired level.
Turn on the main power switch and use either a wireless microphone or cabled microphone to adjust the volume.

Operating The Sound System

• Place the PresentationPro at its desired location.

• CAUTION: Assure the 120/240 switch is in the correct position.

• Plug the power cord into a grounded 120 volt, 60 Hz outlet.

• Connect and audio source. Plug a microphone into either the XLR MIC input jack or the ¼” phone mic input or a wireless
Califone microphone. An audio source can be plugged into the AUX or LINE IN jacks.

• Turn the power switch “ON” (the red LED on the rear panel should light).

• Adjust volume (press the Vol+/Vol- on the rear panel or keys on RC-300 remote control), bass/treble controls for desired sound.

• Point the remote control at the speaker grill).

Wireless Receiver (PA319 only)

a) Set the volume controls on both the UHF receiver and the mic to 10 o’clock.
b) If using only neckband or clip on mics, it is recommended that the mic volume on the M319 Belt Pack transmitter
(not the UHF receiver) is turned to maximum. The volume control on the Belt Pack transmitter can then be used to
adjust the mic volume.
c) If using mics which DO NOT have individual volume controls it is recommended that the microphone volume
control be set at 10 o’clock and then re-adjusted to the desired volume as required.
