The lightning bolt within
a triangle is intended to
alert the user to the
presence of un insulated
dangerous voltage levels
within the product’s
enclosure.
This voltage may be of
sufficient magnitude to
constitute an electric
shock risk.
To reduce the risk of electric
shock, do not remove cover of
this device. There are no user
serviceable parts inside. Refer
servicing only to qualified
service personnel.
The exclamation point
within a triangle is
intended to alert the
user to important

• Do not block ventilation openings
• Do not install near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
devices that produce heat
•Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug. This plug has two blades
and a third ground prong. The wide blade or third prong are provided for your
safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet
•Protect the power cord from being stressed at the plugs, convenience receptacles,
and where they exit the amplifier
• Only use accessories specified by the manufacturer
• Unplug the device during lightning storms or when unused for an extended time
• Refer all servicing to qualified personnel
• This device must not be exposed to water in any way. No object filled with liquids
should be placed on apparatus
These speakers are intended for stationary use on flat, level and solid surfaces. When using
with speaker stands, it is the responsibility of the user to be certain the stand is capable of
supporting the weight of the speaker. When used on elevated stages, whether with or without
speaker stands, care should be given if placed close to the front edge of the stage, as
potential risk exists for spectators in close proximity. Additionally, these are not intended for
flying installations. They should not be retrofitted with flying hardware for support above
stages. Ultimately, it is the sole responsibility of the user to determine safe location and
placement of this or any speaker system.

EXPLANATION OF CONTROLS
1. 1/4" Microphone Input
Accepts balanced or unbalanced microphone input signal level. Level of this input is adjusted by the control immediately
to the right. Ch1 and Ch2 inputs function exactly the same.
2. XLR Microphone Input
Accepts balanced or unbalanced microphone input signal level. Level of this input is adjusted by the control immediately
to the right. Ch1 and Ch2 inputs function exactly the same.
3. Ch1 Level
Controls level of signal entering either 1/4" or XLR input. Ch1 and Ch2 level controls function exactly the same. Note that
the 1/4" and XLR input on a single channel should not be used at the same time.
4. XLR Line Level Input
Accepts balanced or unbalanced line level input. Typical sources for this input may be an MP3, CD or DVD player,
keyboard or other electronic instrument, computer sound card or mixing console output. Level of this input is adjusted by
the control immediately to the right.
5. Ch3 Level
Controls level of signal entering either RCA phono or XLR input. Note that the RCA and XLR input on this channel should
not be used at the same time.
6. Dual RCA Line Level Input
Accepts unbalanced line level input. Two connections are provide to accommodate common connections from consumer
stereo equipment, such as tape decks, CD players, tuners and similar. Note that the two inputs are internally summed
mono.
7. Master Level
Provides adjustment of the overall output level of the system.
8. Treble Control
Provides high frequency adjustment of the overall output level of the system. This control provides ±10dB adjustment of
a frequency band centered at 10KHz
9. Bass Control
Provides low frequency adjustment of the overall output level of the system. This control provides ±10dB adjustment of a
frequency band centered at 100Hz
10. XLR Line Level Output
Provides pre-amplified, balanced line level output, unaffected by the Master Level or Bass and Treble controls. This is
ideal for driving a second amplified speaker or input on a recording device.
11. 1/4" Line Level Output
Provides pre-amplified unbalanced line level output, unaffected by the Master Level or Bass and Treble controls. This is
ideal for driving a second amplified speaker or input on a recording device.
12. Input Voltage Selector
Allows selection of 110VAC or 220VAC operation. 110VAC is correct setting for use in North America, be certain the
switch is in the correct position prior to use.
13. Master Power Switch
Turns power to the internal amplifier ON or OFF. "–" represents the ON position.
14. Power Fuse Access
Accepts 5mm (dia) x 20mm (L) fuse. Only replace fuse with the exact same size. With 110VAC supply voltage, correct
fuse size is 555-10600 – 2.5A, 555-10601 – 4A, 555-10602 – 5A, all slow blow type.
15. Power Cord Inlet
For connection of supplied power cord. This connection accepts industry standard IEC type cords.
