Active Speaker System
These operating instructions are intended for
professional DJs and non-professional users with
technical knowledge. Please read these operating instructions carefully prior to operating the
unit and keep them for later reference.
1 Applications
This bass-reflex speaker system with integrated
power amplifier is suited for DJ applications and
other PA applications. It is equipped with:
– an MP3 player
– an FM radio
– a Bluetooth receiver to link mobile players
– an input for audio units
– a microphone input (PAK-8DMP and PAK-
10DMP only: this input can be switched to
line level for a second audio unit)
– an IR remote control
2 Safety Notes
The unit corresponds to all relevant directives of
the EU and is therefore marked with .
WARNING The unit uses dangerous mains voltage.
Leave servicing to skilled personnel only.
Inexpert handling or modification of the
unit may result in electric shock.
•
The unit is suitable for indoor use only. Protect
it against dripping water and splash water,
high air humidity and heat (admissible ambient temperature range: 0 – 40 °C).
•
Do not place any vessel filled with liquid on
the unit, e. g. a drinking glass.
•
The heat produced inside the speaker system
must be dissipated by the cooling fins (models
PAK-10DMP, PAK-12DMP and PAK-15DMP);
therefore, never cover the cooling fins. Never
place the speaker system directly on a wall;
always keep a corresponding distance.
•
Immediately disconnect the mains plug from
the socket
1.
if the unit or the mains cable is visibly
damaged,
2.
if a defect might have occurred after the
unit was dropped or suffered a similar
accident,
3. if malfunctions occur.
In any case the units must be repaired by
skilled personnel.
•
Never pull the mains cable to disconnect the
mains plug from the socket, always seize the
plug.
•
For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth; never
use water or chemicals.
•
No guarantee claims for the unit and no liability for any resulting personal damage or material damage will be accepted if the unit is used
for other purposes than originally intended, if
it is not correctly connected or operated, or if
it is not repaired in an expert way.
If the unit is to be put out of operation
definitively, take it to a local recycling
plant for a disposal which is not harmful
to the environment.
3 Setting into Operation
3.1 Setting up the speaker system
Place the speaker system on a solid surface and
align it towards the audience. Place the tweeters
at ear level, if possible. Models PAK-12DMP and
PAK-15DMP are equipped with additional feet
at the lateral handles and can also be operated
horizontally as stage monitors; in this position,
sound will be radiated diagonally upwards.
Alternatively, place the speaker system via
the stand sleeve on its lower side on a standard
speaker stand with a tube diameter of 35 mm
(e. g. from the PAST series of IMG STAGELINE).
For additional mounting options, e. g. suspension, the upper and lower sides of the cabinet
are provided with M8 threaded jacks. To use
these jacks, remove the cover caps.
For units with cooling fins on the rear: Set up
the speaker systems in such a way that air will
be able to flow freely through the cooling fins;
otherwise, there may be overheating and the
protective circuit will mute the sound.
3.2 Connecting the speaker system
Before making or changing any connections,
switch off the speaker system and the units to
be connected.
1) To connect a microphone, use the XLR jack
or 6.3 mm jack MIC (/ LINE) IN.
Models PAK-8DMP/-10DMP: Engage the
button LINE / MIC next to the 6.3 mm jack to
increase the input amplification for microphone signals.
2) To connect an audio unit with line output
(e. g. mixer, CD player, microphone preamplifier, active speaker system), use one of the
input jacks:
3.5 mm jack AUX
RCA jacks LINE IN L / R
XLR jack LINE IN ( only for PAK-12DMP and
PAK-15DMP)
3)
Models PAK-8DMP/-10DMP: The 6.3 mm
jack or XLR jack MIC / LINE IN can be used to
connect a second audio unit instead of a
microphone. Disengage the button LINE / MIC
next to the 6.3 mm jack to match the input
amplification for line signals.
4) If an additional active speaker system is
required for PA applications of larger zones,
connect the line input of this speaker system
to the XLR output MIX OUT. Alternatively,
connect a recorder to this jack.
5) For power supply, use the mains cable pro-
vided to connect the mains jack on the rear
to a mains socket (230 V/ 50 Hz).
3.3 Infrared remote control
The remote control (fig. 5) for the MP3 player/
radio / Bluetooth module (fig. 1) is supplied with
a battery. Before the first operation, remove the
protective film from the battery holder. When
you press a button on the remote control, always
point the remote control at the front of the
speaker system. Make sure that there are no
obstacles between the speaker system and the
remote control.
If the remote control is not in use for a longer
period of time, always remove the battery to
prevent damage due to battery leakage.
