Operating Instructions INSTRUCTIONS

2 GETTING STARTED

Thank you for purchasing GoRave SOULWAY. This product is your buddy for unlimited source
of enjoyment. SOULWAY provides great audio performance including a dedicated amplifier
per output channel, low noise, low distortion, and is the perfect sidekick to GoRave’s SOUL
SHAKER wireless sub.

SOULWAY is easy to install and operate. If you have experience with other audio amplifiers,
you will find the installation and operation very simple and easy.

2.1 PRECAUTIONS

Please read this manual carefully. In addition to basic installation and operating instructions, it
provides valuable information on various SOULWAY system configurations as well as general
information that will help you get optimum performance from your system. Please contact
your authorized GoRave specialty dealer or retailer for answers to any questions you might
have. In addition, all of us at GoRave welcome your questions and comments.

2.2 PLACEMENT

There must be adequate clearance around the product. Use common sense when placing
the product in a cabinet or when stacking other equipment.

Likewise, remember the weight of the amplifier when you choose to mount it on a wall. Make
sure that you use drywall anchors that can support its weight or screw into the building’s
structure. Again, please use common sense.

The wireless GoRave Transmitters transmit out to a 100 foot diameter (USB version) and 80 foot
diameter for all other styles. Install your GoRave SOULWAY inside this transmitting range. When
deciding the best location for SOULWAY, include the distance needed to transmit from
outside spaces like the back yard or patio. For optimum wireless reception range, mount your
SOULWAY vertically on a wall. Installing it flat on a furniture stand will yield smaller wireless
reception range.

2.3 AC POWER INPUT

Simply connect the supplied power cord to the AC outlet.

Your SOULWAY will operate between 90 – 270 AC line voltage with a line frequency of either
50 Hz or 60 Hz. There is no need to convert or adjust the unit in any way.
