BASIC SETUP
1. Ensure all power is turned off on the Sound
Ambassador Deluxe.
2. All level controls should be set at the lowest level to ensure no sound is inadvertently sent through the outputs when the device is switched on. All levels can be adjusted to acceptable degrees after the device is turned on.
3. Plug all necessary instruments and/or equipment into the Sound Ambassador’s various inputs as required.
4. Though it is not required (as the Sound Ambassador Deluxe’s speaker is built-in), you may wish to connect another device to the Sound Ambassador Deluxe’s line output, which could further enhance your set up.
5. Plug the supplied DC power supply into an appropriate AC power socket, and the DC head of the power supply into the DC power socket of the Sound Ambassador 35 Deluxe. This is, of course, not really vital as the Sound Ambassador Deluxe has an internal battery.
6. Turn the power switch on, and you should be ready to go.

4. Microphone Input
This 1/4” Phone Jack is for the addition of high impedance microphone to the Sound Ambassador Deluxe.
5. AUX Level Control
This controls the level of the 1/4” auxiliary input, allowing users to adjust the level of the audio that is sent to the main mix.
6. AUX Input
This input accepts typical 1/4” TS inputs for unbalanced signals, best suited for input of all kinds of gear, including electric guitars, bass guitars, keyboards, or even other Sound Ambassador units.
7. CD/MP3 Level Control
This controls the level of audio that is received by the optional CD player or MP3 recorder. Turning the control all the way to the left will affectively mute the CD player or MP3 recorder.
8. Line Outputs
This 1/4” output sends the main signal of the Sound Ambassador Deluxe to external devices. Users are able to send the signal to other sound systems, allowing the signal to be incorporated
in other mixes, or to an amplier, allowing other
speakers to output the signal in addition to the built-in speaker, as well as link to other Sound Ambassadors Deluxe.
9. Echo Effect
These two controls adjust the different properties of the built-in echo effect. The level control allows users to determine the amount of the microphone (both wired and wireless) signal will be affected by the echo effect, and the time/repeat control adjusts the intensity of both the time and repeat parameters. Turning the level control to the
-
position affectively mutes the effect.
10. Tone Control
This control allows users to adjust the high and low frequency sounds of the main signal; turning the control to the left will add more treble to their audio, whereas turning it to the right will increase the bass. Keeping it perfectly centered will affectively disable the tone function.
11. Power Indicators
The LED indicators just to the left of the fuse holder allow users to see the status of the battery. The uppermost indicator, Batt. Low, illuminates red when the battery power is low and needs to be charged. When at full capacity, the lower LED will illuminate green. This same indicator
will ash red when the unit’s built-in battery is in
the process of charging. When the battery level
is low, the Power LED will ash for a few minutes
before shutting the device down. Depending on the volume of the unit, it may last for longer in low battery mode.
12. Fuse Holder
If for some reason the Sound Ambassador 35 Deluxe’s fuse blows, use a coin to unscrew the fuse holder and replace with another appropriate fuse.
13. DC Power Input
This inlet is for the connection of a DC power source, allowing power to be supplied to the unit. Please use the DC power supply provided along with this unit only, as using another supply could damage the unit and void any warranty.
14. Power Switch and Indicator
Flicking this switch turns the Sound Ambassador on and off. If no external power source is connected to the device, power will be supplied by the built-in battery. When the power is turned on, the blue Power LED will illuminate.
15. Handle
This feature was provided to allow users to carry the Sound Ambassador 35 Deluxe much more easily.
16. IR Receiver
This unit comes with the Infrared receiver already installed if bought with the infrared microphone kit.
17. Battery Power and Charging Switch
When this switch is set to ON, the Sound Ambassador Deluxe’s internal battery can be either charged or used to power the unit. If it’s set to OFF, the battery is effectively cut off from the rest of the unit. Users are advised to set this switch to OFF if the Sound Ambassador will be without operation for an extended period of time.

MP3 Player’s USB Connection
You can easily copy MP3 les from computer to
the machine through USB connection. Connect the machine to your computer with an appropri­ate USB cable. You computer will recognize a new removable storage device automatically.
You can now add, delete, copy and preview les.
If using Windows 98 or below a USB driver will need to be installed.
When connecting to a PC through the USB port, the computer will take the device as two remov-
able disks (the rst disk being the built-in ash
memory, the second disk is the SD card). You can start to copy music from the computer to ei­ther of these discs, or copy any of your previ-
ously recorded les from the device to computer. As the recorded les from the device has been
compressed to MP3 format, it is easy to play-
back the les without any re-encoding.
The device will playback the MP3 les you down-
load from computer in MP3 mode and playback
any sound les you recorded from the Mic or
Line inputs in the VOC mode. However, the play sequence of the music les in MP3 mode is de­cided by the sequence the music was copied to
the SD card, thus is not xed. If you want MP3 music to play in a xed sequence – or playback in VOC mode – you will need to change the le name of the MP3 les to M_INT.xx.MP3 (where “xx” is the track number you wish to store the le as) for on the built-in ash memory, or M_EXT_
xx.MP3 (where “xx” is the track number you wish
to store the le as) for use on an SD card. The le format must be MP3 for this to work.

OPERATING HINTS
1. Before or after use of this unit, users should
charge the battery for approximately 8 hours. The battery pack loses charge while in storage, so it’s important to charge the unit before storing, and do so every 3 months while the unit is being stored.
2. If the battery remains uncharged for long peri-
ods of time, permanent damage could be caused and the battery will no longer be covered by war­ranty.
3. If you use battery power, there is no need
to connect to the unit’s DC power source. The Sound Ambassador 35 Deluxe can last for 2 - 4 hours on battery power.
4. You can run the unit on DC power and charge
the internal battery simultaneously.
5. If the power LED ashes, connect the DC
power supply as soon as possible, as the battery is low and the unit will soon shut down.
6. Before you turn the Sound Ambassador on,
turn all volume controls to a minimum. Set them to an appropriate level after turning the unit on.
7. Each sound source can be used simultane­ously, and each source’s volume is controlled independently.
8. If you use the MP3 recorder/playback unit, you can use the system and record simultaneously.
9. Please refer to the operating manual for any wireless microphones you may use for any safety and usage information in regards to these modules.
10. Avoid pointing any microphone towards the speaker, as this will cause feedback.
11. When the operating life of the battery be­comes shorter, the battery is old and should thus be replaced. In normal operation, the battery should have a life of about 1 year, and is covered by warranty with consideration to any conditions that may apply.
