Operation
Operation continued
Battery
Charge the battery for at least 10 hours before the rst use of the PA919SD, PA919, or the PA919PS. Simply plug the power cord into an AC outlet and charging begins automatically. The charging indicator will ash until fully charged, then it will stay green. The unit can be used while it is plugged in for charging.
There are two indicators above the main power switch. When the unit is turned on, the one on the left will light “red” when the battery has a low charge. The one on the right will glow “green” if the battery is fully charged or if operating on A/C power.
It is recommended that the battery be recharged after several hours of usage, rather than stored with a low battery. This will prolong battery life. Storing more than 30 days without recharging will deteriorate the battery.
Digital Master Volume Control
When the main power switch is turned on, the Digital Master Volume Control is at the lowest level to prevent accidental damage to the amplier or internal speakers. The volume can be controlled in two ways; using the “Up” “Down” buttons on the mixer panel or using the RC-300 infrared remote control. The remote sensor must be used in front of the speaker as the sensor is behind the speaker grille.
Recommended Set-up Procedure
Ideally the master volume should be at maximum volume before the wireless receiver and microphone volumes are adjusted to the desired loudness. Since there are always at least two (2) volume controls to contend with, it is suggested that prior to turning the power on the UHF receiver volume controls be set at “10 o’clock”. Also set the microphone volume controls at “10 o’clock”. Turn on the main power switch and use either a wireless microphone or cabled microphone to adjust the master volume.
Digital Audio Player/Recorder & CD Player
The main power switch does not control the Digital Audio Player/Recorder and CD player. A separate power switch is combined with the MP3/CD volume control to limit battery drain when the Digital Audio Player/Recorder or CD are not being used.
Line In
Insert both RCA plugs into the RCA jacks when using a stereo input. The left and right channels are combined so no program material is lost. If the source is monaural, either RCA jack can be used. The Line In volume control is used to increase or decrease the level of the input signal.
Line Out
The two RCA jacks are used to connect to the input of another piece of equipment such as a tape recorder, mixer or another amplied speaker. The outputs are monaural and volume level will depend on the volume of the source. For example, the tape or CD player level is controlled by the tape/CD volume control. Lie out is independent of the Master Volume Control.
Tone Controls
The separate base and treble controls provide a wide range of adjustment for increasing or decreasing either the bass or treble from “at” frequency response. The center or “12 o’clock” position is at.
Speaker Mute Switch
Engaging this switch will cut o the sound of all speakers, internal and external, except as explained in the section under “PA919PS operation”.
Voice Priority
This feature is used for voice override of the music program when using a microphone. The “ducking” circuit attenuates the music when a person speaks into the microphone. After a 3 second delay in the speech, the music returns to the previous level.
Wired Microphones
There are two (2) independent combination XLR/1/4” jacks for using microphones with cables. Each jack has a volume control which eects the loudness of both wired and wireless microphones. Also each has a “Voice/Music” switch. On “music” program the sound is full delity, while on “voice” the sound is tailored to give maximum projection while limiting battery drain.

Wireless Operation
900 MHz Microphone & Beltpack Transmitter
Q319 Wireless Microphone
Wireless UHF Receivers
Wireless receiver “A” is preset at the factory for channel 4 and receiver “B” is set on channel 6. There are three (3) LEDs on the receiver; power (green), RF reception (red) and Audio reception (amber).
There are also LEDs on the front of the speaker above the grille making it easy to see if the microphone and receiver are working properly. A red LED indicates RF (radio frequency) from the mic, while an amber LED indicates audio.
NOTE: There are two wireless 900MHz mic receivers on the PA919SD and PA919 (and 1 on the PA919PS). These frequencies are not compatible with any PA916 series PAs, M-316 or Q-316 microphones.
Wireless Transmitter
The PowerPro PA919SD incorporates a 16 channel UHF transmitter with its own power switch for wireless transmission to another PA919 or the Powered Companion Speaker PA919PS. The transmitter is preset at the factory to channel 13. It is recommended that the user not randomly change this setting. If using the transmitter function change wireless receiver “A” from channel 1 to any other channel except channel 13 to prevent the transmitter from blocking the receiver.
Microphone Lockout
Two wireless microphones can be used at the same time, but separate channels (frequencies) must be used. For instance, if using receiver “A” on channel 4, two microphone beltpack transmitters cannot be used at the same time. The rst transmitter turned on will dominate and lock out the other. The second microphone should be used with receiver “B” on a dierent frequency which will allow two persons to talk at the same time.

Feedback
Feedback is a shrill screeching sound produced by the speaker system when a microphone is being used too close to the front of the speaker. The microphone picks up the sound of the speaker system and it becomes reamplied. It is a self­sustaining loop which can damage the system if allowed to continue, not to mention the annoyance caused to persons nearby. Always stand 4 to 6 feet from the speaker to minimize the opportunity for feedback from the speaker system.

Features/Specs
• 512MB Internal Flash memory.
• Supports standard bitrate WMA and MP3 format audio les.
• WAV le format recording and playback are supported in Recording and Voice modes. Various bitrates for the wav le recording are supported from low quality to high quality. Low quality recordings allow recording for a longer time.
• Seven equalizer presets are available, including: NOR (normal), ROCK (rock), POP (pop), CLAS (classical), SOFT (soft), JAZZ (jazz), and DBB (bass).
• A-B section looping function.
• Seven playback modes are available, including: Repeat one, Random, Normal, Repeat folder, Folder, Repeat all, and Intro.
• Variable tempo (speed) control is available for mp3 les on the internal (Flash) memory. This feature aects the speed and does not aect the pitch of the recording.
• Adjustable LCD contrast for dierent environments.
• Equalizer and Repeat mode setting are stored and retained even upon power o.
• USB port for uploading/downloading audio les to and from the digital audio player’s internal memory and an SD card.
• Built-in headphone output.
Troubleshooting
• Why won’t some les be recognized by the digital audio player? Some MP3 or WMA les won’t play.
• This digital audio player supports most standard bitrate and le settings, but due to the large number of compression types, and with new types being added all the time, not all les are recognized. Try to convert any les that don’t play into a standard bitrate (128kbps, 196kbps, etc.) mp3 or wma le without special settings in the encoder. Then upload the new le to the digital audio player and try again.
• The track’s playback time is not correct. Why?
• VBR format MP3 les may not display the proper track time. Try a xed bitrate letype if an accurate track time is needed.

Powered Companion Speaker PA919PS
The PA919PS works with the PA919 series and M319 and Q319 microphones. It is not compatible with the PA916 series, M-316 and
Q-316 microphone.
Powered Companion Speaker PA919PS
The Powered Companion PA has the same amplier, power supply and speaker compliment as the full featured PA919 or PA919SD.
It does not have the mixer panel because it can be controlled by the PowerPro PA919SD and PA919.
With the integral 16-channel selectable wireless UHF receiver, it can function as a stand alone PA speaker when using a Q319
Handheld microphone or the M319 Beltpack transmitter with a LM-316, CM-316 or HBM-316 microphone. Although there are 5
LEDs on the front of the PA919PS only 3 lights function on this unit because there is only one receiver. The red LED indicates RF,
the amber LED is for audio, and the green LED indicates power On.
Full Wireless Operation
As the transmitter on the PA919 and PA919SD is preset on channel 13, the receiver of the PA919PS is also set on 13. Any audio from
the PA919SD can be transmitted to the PA919PS without wiring. There is no limit on the number of PA919PS speakers that can be
used with the PA919 within a range of 150 feet.
Audio Line Buss
When linking one or two PA919PS to the PowerPro PA919SD via audio line, the PSC-50 XLR cable is connected to Audio Line Out
XLR connector on the PA919SD. The other end is connected to Line In XLR on the Powered Companion Speaker.
The Master Volume Control on the Audio Line panel of the master will adjust the PowerPro PA919SD as well as all the Powered or
Passive Companion Speakers, however the loudness needs to be adjusted via the Master Volume Control on the PA919PS as well.

The PA916-SP is connected to one of two outputs
from the PowerPro or Powered Companion
Speaker via SP-50 Cable with 1/4” phone plugs.
Connecting to the “Speaker Out” jack will divide
the power between the PowerPro PA919SD or
PA919PS and PA916-SP. Connecting to the
“Switched Out” will disconnect the internal
speakers of the PA919SD and deliver all of the
power to the PA916-SP.
NOTE:
There are ve (5) LEDs on the front of the
speaker, however they are disconnected because
there is no internal amplier or wireless
receiver in this passive system.
Telescoping Handle and Wheels
These are only intended for pulling the PowerPro over relatively smooth surfaces. Using the handle to lift or
carry the unit or pulling up stairs will cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Tripod Mount
A recess is incorporated on the bottom of all PowerPro Speakers for mounting to the TP-50 tripod.
