Califone PA916-SP User Manual

Powerful Sound Presentation Solutions™

The Califone®PowerPro is the ideal system for those who require an easy-to-use, portable
sound reinforcement solution but do not have the budget, technical know-how or time
required to operate a multi-component system. Designed for any kind of venue, the
PowerPro Non-Powered Support Speaker comes with a 1/4” input and can be used either
as a non-powered speaker to accompany the PowerPro (PA-916) or the Wireless
Companion Speaker (PA916-PS), or as a stand alone unit, giving it the flexibility and
versatility to fit any budget and situation.

The PowerPro Non-Powered Support Speaker comes with a rugged fiberglass-reinforced
polypropylene enclosure and has a rugged powder-coated perforated steel grille and a
telescoping handle for easy transporting.

Its 10” high-powered woofer is driven by a 40 ounce magnet (the heaviest and most efficient
in its class) and a high-frequency compression driver for optimal audio reproduction.

• Convenient 1/4” input for quick and easy set up

• Rugged fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene enclosure

• Sturdy all-terrain 3.5” wheels

• 1.5mm powder-coated steel grill for durability
