IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Danger
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a
permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably to noise
induced hearing loss but nearly everyone will lose some
hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient
time.
The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) has specified the following
permissible noise level exposures:
DURATION PER DAY (HOURS) 8 6 4 3 2 1
SOUND LEVEL (dB) 90 93 95 97 100 103
According to OSHA, any exposure in the above permissible
limits could result in some hearing loss. Earplugs or protectors
in the ear canal or over the ears must be worn when operating
this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent
hearing loss. If exposure in excess of the limits as put forth
above, to insure against potentially harmful exposure to high
sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons
exposed to equipment capable of inducing high sound pressure
levels, such as this amplification system, be protected by
hearing protectors
while this unit is in operation.

CONTROLS & FEATURES
OVERVIEW
BLUETOOTH PAIRING INSTRUCTIONS:
To connect your Bluetooth device to the
Kustom Bluetooth receiver for the rst
time, navigate to the Bluetooth settings menu
on you Bluetooth enabled device. Ensure that
Bluetooth is enabled and your Kustom
product is powered on. Perform a scan for
available devices. Select and pair to the
Kustom product in the list of available
devices. Enter 0000 for the passcode if
prompted. Once paired, a connection can be
established. Depending on the device, future
connections may be established automatically
when a previously paired Bluetooth device is in
range of the Kustom Bluetooth receiver.
The Bluetooth receiver in Kustom
Bluetooth products is an A2DP device and will
work with other A2DP compatible Bluetooth
devices including most smart phones.
Additional hardware and/or driver software
may be required for computers with integrated
Bluetooth adaptors due to a lack of support for
A2DP devices by some operating systems.
A2DP protocol only allows for one to one
device connections. Therefore, only one
Bluetooth device can be connected to a
Kustom Bluetooth product at one time.
Similarly, a Bluetooth device can only be
connected to one Kustom Bluetooth
product at one time. Plugging a 1/8” connector
into the AUX jack disables the Kustom
Bluetooth receiver.

4. HIGH: Adjusts treble frequencies (@10kHz) per channel. Turn clockwise to boost, counter-clockwise to cut.
5. FX: Controls the level of Digital Delay heard on each chanel.
6. VOLUME: Adjusts the volume of each channel and is used to control overall volume balance between channels.
7. AUX IN: Use this stereo input to connect an audio device such as an MP3 player, phone, or laptop.
Note: Right and Left channels are summed to mono through this input.
8. Bluetooth LED (BT Models Only): Lights when a Bluetooth device is successfully paired to PA BT unit.
SYNC CIRCUIT: Use to expand your system by linking multiple units.
The shield connection (pin 1) on SYNC jacks do not connect to chassis ground. Ground connection is lifted.
9. SYNC IN: Connect to SYNC OUT of any PA Unit using standard XLR (microphone) cable.
Channels of linked unit will be summed and heard through this unit. Turn down unused channels to reduce noise.
MASTER VOLUME controls the overall level of mix heard per unit but does not affect the volume of linked units.
10. SYNC OUT: Connect to SYNC IN of any PA Unit using standard XLR (microphone) cable.
Channels will be summed and heard through linked unit. Use the channel volume controls to adjust mix
(Turn down unused channels). This jack may also be connected to a power amp’s BALANCED LINE INPUT.
11. DIGITAL DELAY FX MASTER: Controls overall level of delay effect available to all channels.
12. TIME: Controls the length of time between each delay repeat
13. REPEAT: Controls the number of repeats heard when using delay effect
14. Sub Out: Use this jack for connecting a powered subwoofer. Use a shielded instrument cable to send
line-level, unbalanced signal crossed over at 150Hz. When jack is disconnected, crossover is bypassed and unit
operates at full-range. When possible, plug PA System and Subwoofer AC cables into same outlet or power strip
to avoid ground loop hum.
15. VOICE/MUSIC Switch: Selects global EQ curve tailored for VOICE or MUSIC applications.
VOICE=Flat. MUSIC=800Hz Notch
16. MASTER VOLUME: Controls the overall volume of all channels including audio connected to SYNC IN.
Does not affect SYNC OUT level.

17. EXTERNAL SPEAKER: Connect PA2X10EX or PA2X12EX passive speaker here.
18. POWER: This switch activates power to the unit. Switch is lit in the “ON” position.
19. AC Power Cord Receptacle: Insert the AC cord included with your PA unit here. Insert cord rmly into AC
Power Cord Receptacle. Replace the AC cord if protective jacket or ground pin are damaged or removed.
20. Fuse: The fuse is located in a fuse tray just below the receptacle. Replace only with the same type and size.
For your convenience, a spare fuse is located inside the fuse tray toward the front. To replace fuse, remove AC
power cord. Remove fuse tray by pulling the tab located above the fuse symbol away from the receptacle.
