1. Saftey instructions
Don’t try to open the device forcibly or with unfixing of the bolting. The device doesn’t contain any parts which
could be repaired by laymen. For help contact the manufactorer or the distributor.
Take care that no fluid (coffee, wine, ect.) is poured over the device. If this is happened, the device has to be
switched off immediately, be unpluged and checked by a practitioner.
Don’t expose the device to a temperature more than 50°C, a humidity more than 95% or heavy rainfall.
ATTENTION: Also when the device is unplugged on account of the integrated accumulator coused by a not
appropriate intervention short circuits are possible which can lead to demage or to a heat growth. By any
intervention of a practitioner the device has to be unplugged. After the carefully removal of the cover separate
the connection cable form the accumulator.
2. How to stand the COMPACT-BOX
Loosen the lower adjusting screw (a) of the aluminiumlight-weight tripod and open the legs of the tripod
(asamply as space allows). Once you have found a solid stand, tighten lower adjusting screw.
The height of the tripod can be changed by the upper adjusting screw (b); bear in mind, however, that what
you gain in height you lose in stability!

ATTENTION: make sure the COMPACT-BOX does not col-
lapse, particularly when it is windy!
3. How to start
General:
Turn on the COMPACT-BOX by turning the ON/OFF switch (1) to the right (position ON); the ON/OFF indicator light (2) will show.
Battery mode:
In case the power supply is not plugged in the COMP ACT -BOX will be supplied by an integrated rechargeable
battery. The average operating time with a fully charged battery will be 6 to 10 hours. The ON/OFF indicator
light will be green if the battery has sufficient power; it will be red if the battery is low . You can still operate the
COMP ACT -BOX, yet the device will switch automatically when the power becomes too low (built-in discharge
protection).
Mains supply:
In case the COMPACT-BOX is connected (socket 10) to the mains supply (220V), the red mains indicator
light (3) will show in addition to the ON/OFF indicator light (2). As soon as you switch COMPACT-BOX the
battery will start recharging immediately with the mains indicator light (3) staying On and the ON/OFF indicator light (2) disappearing (see 13. recharging the COMPACT-BOX).
Maximum sound intensity:
Different audio sources ( CD’s, mp3-files, … ) cause different sound intensities. Therefore it can happen that
by maximum volume the box is used over its max capacity limit. The COMPACT-BOX owns a limiter, which
limits the capacity . The Peak-Indicator-LED (12) shows the reaction. Temporary indication flashing means no
lost of playback quality, the electronic system regulates the volume itself. If the indication is glowing continualy the volume has to be reduces manually.

4. Playback
The cinch sockets (5A) will accept any tape recorder, CD player, radio, etc. The volume can be adjusted at
the corresponding control (7). Should your COMP ACT -BOX have a built-in tape recorder or CD player , please
do not forget to consult the instructions enclosed.
5. Handling with cable microphone
Plug in the cable microphone in the microphone socket (4) and adjust its volume at the volume control for the
cable microphone (6).
Technical information:
The multi-jack microphone socket (3) lets you plug in microphones with XLR or 1/4” jack. Use either dynamic
microphones or electret condenser microphones.
Connecting balanced microphones: by means of a XLR plug or a stereo ¼” jack.
Connecting balanced microphones with phantomsupply: by means of a XLR plug.
Connecting unbalanced microphones: by means of a mono ¼” jack.
In case you have a long microphone cable, an interference free operation can only be guaranteed when you
use both balanced microphones and balanced microphone cables.
6. Music attenuation (optional)
Should your device have an automatic music attenuation the volume of the music playback will be turned
down while somebody is speaking. You determine the volume of the attenuated playback by means of the
appropriate control (9).
control position left: while speaking, the music is turned off completely
control position middle: while speaking, the music volume is halved
control position right: even while speaking, the music volume remains the same,
i.e. no attenuation at all.
Attenuation adjustment: while speaking into the microphone
adjust the playback volume you want during your announcement.
Attenuation will be started when using a radio microphone or
cable microphone and takes effect on music playbacks via the
line-in socket (external equipment) and any built-in devices
(tape recorder or CD player).
Attenuation is triggered by radio microphones or by a cable
microphone.
