Before Beginning: Place the console on a at, sturdy surface and open
the cover. The cover may be completely removed and set aside if desired.
1. Connect one end of the XLR gooseneck to the wired microphone and
the other end into the jack on top of the announcer’s interface. A head set microphone may be plugged here instead.

placed up to 3' (1 m) away.
2. Connect the 25' (7.6 m) XLR cable between the AUDIO OUT jack on
back of the console and the SYSTEM AUDIO jack on the bottom of
the ber box. If there is no ber box, the cable will typically connect to
a junction box instead.
3. Connect one end of the 5' (1.5 m) XLR cable to the LTIBLOX Laptop
Interface and the other end to MIC INPUT 3. The 3.5 mm plug may
be connected to the headphone jack of a laptop or MP3 player.
4. Locate the 3-prong power cord and plug into a standard outlet.
Ensure the MIC LIVE LED on the announcer’s console is not active
and all gain knobs on the mixer are turned down at this time.
5. Turn the SOUND SYSTEM switch to ON.
Power Down
Follow the above steps in reverse order to power down the system.

Sportsound Announcer’s Console Quick Start Guide
Pro Audio Mixer Operation
• With an input source playing or while speaking into the microphone, adjust the gain knob for the input (1-4) for brightest green LED with minimal ashing
of the red LED.
• Set the MASTER knob to NORMAL unless output needs to be turned down.
• Ensure the peak signal indicator LEDs are green and into orange. Red LEDs indicate that the signal leaving the mixer is clipped or clipping is imminent.
REMEMBER: Bad input = bad output. No adjustment on the mixer can make a poor source sound better. For best results, be sure to use high-quality audio
les from your MP3 player or laptop, and set the device to near full volume.
