balanced or a XLR
balanced cable. An XLR
Cable is included with the
microphone.

Input with Gain Control
(1/4”): This mono input

accepts a ¼” input such as
a microphone, guitar, or
other musical instrument.

Gain Control (Stereo
RCA): This knob controls

the level of the iPod and the
RCA input. This stereo
RCA input can be used to connect a CD, MP3, or other audio source. To connect to a portable device with a

5. Power Adapter (IEC): Insert the included power cable here to charge the unit. Note that the BLOCK ROCKER
can run off the power adapter while it simultaneously charges the battery. The charge indicator illuminates

7. Power ON/OFF Switch

8. iPod Charging Switch

9. Battery Level Indicator: While the unit is powered ON, these four lights indicate the power left in the battery.
Battery life varies based on volume and usage.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Use this troubleshooting guide if: The sound is distorted at high volumes.

• Input is clipping: Try lowering the input gain or the volume control on your sound source or music instrument.

• Output is clipping: Lower the main volume level.

• There is too much bass: Try adjusting the tone or EQ control on your sound source to lower the bass level.

This will allow you to play the music louder before clipping (distortion) occurs.

• The link cable: is being plugged into the instrument or MIC input instead of the RCA line input.

Important: With all large speakers, an initial “break-in” period is needed to perform at optimal levels. To
properly “break-in” your BLOCK ROCKER, play an audio source at medium volume for a few hours.
