2.1 Level-Setting Procedure: AIR10, AIR12, and AIR15

2 Getting Started

Before you begin, here are a few general rules of thumb:

• Always make sure your loudspeakers are powered off when making connections.

• Do not allow your inputs to clip. Watch for the LIMIT alert on
your loudspeaker’s display. This indicates that the inputs are
clipping, causing digital distortion, which sounds terrible.

Your PA and studio equipment should be powered on in the following order:

1. Sound sources (keyboards, direct boxes, microphones, etc.)
connected to your mixer

2. Mixer

3. AIR-series loudspeakers

When it’s time to power down, your system should be turned off in the reverse order.

Now that you know what not to do, let’s get some audio going! The following
level-setting tutorials cover best practices that can be applied to nearly every
application. The first tutorial covers level setting for the full-range models only;
the second tutorial describes proper level setting for a system that includes
one AIR-series subwoofer and two full-range AIR-series loudspeakers.

NOTE: Please review the AIR-series Application Guide at PreSonus.com
for complete safety information regarding flown installations.

AIR-Series Loudspeakers

Owner’s Manual

2.1 Level-Setting Procedure: AIR10, AIR12, and AIR15

1. With the power switch in the Off position, connect the IEC plug
to the IEC socket connection on the back of the loudspeaker
and plug it into a grounded AC outlet or surge protector.

2. Turn the level knobs fully counterclockwise, to the lowest position.

3. Connect your microphone or line-level source (such as a PreSonus
StudioLive® digital mixer) to either or both inputs. The Line input is
accessed via the ¼” TRS connection on the combo jack. The microphone
preamp is accessed via the XLR connection on the combo jack.

Power User Tip: If you are running a stereo system, connect the
Left output of your mixer to the left loudspeaker’s line input, and
the Right output to the right loudspeaker’s line input.

4. Power on your line-level source.

5. Power on your AIR-series loudspeaker.

6. While speaking into a microphone or with audio playing through your line-level
source, turn the input level knob(s) until the display shows “Limit,” then turn it
down to just below that level. If you are using a microphone, be sure that you are
not standing too close to the loudspeaker, as doing so could result in feedback. If
you are not using both inputs, it is recommended that you leave the level knob
for the unused input in the fully counter-clockwise position so as not to introduce
noise into the signal path.

7. Turn the master output level control until you have
achieved a comfortable listening volume.

8. If you are using the input mixer of one loudspeaker to connect a microphone
and a line-level source, or if you are running a mono system, connect
the Mix Out from the loudspeaker to which your sources are connected
to the line input of the second loudspeaker and repeat steps 1-8.

2.2 Level-Setting Procedure: AIR15s and AIR18s

2.2 Level-Setting Procedure: AIR15s and AIR18s

1. With the power switch in the Off position, connect the IEC plug
to the IEC socket connection on the back of each loudspeaker
and plug it into a grounded AC outlet or surge protector.

2. Turn the level knobs on your full-range loudspeakers
fully counterclockwise to the lowest position.

3. Turn the Output level knob on your AIR-series subwoofer counterclockwise to the
lowest position.

4. Connect your line-level source (e.g., a StudioLive mixer) to the Line
inputs. This is a combo jack that accepts a balanced ¼” TRS or XLR plug.
If you are connecting a stereo source, the left side should be connected
to Input 1 and the right side should be connected to Input 2.

5. Connect Outputs 1 and 2 of your AIR-series subwoofer to the line
inputs of the left and right full-range loudspeakers respectively.

6. Power on your line-level source.

7. Power on your AIR-series subwoofer.

AIR-Series Loudspeakers

Owner’s Manual

8. Power on your full-range loudspeakers.

9. Turn the line level knob on your full-range loudspeakers to the 12 o’clock position.

10. Turn the Master Volume knob on your AIR-series
subwoofer to the 12 o’clock position.

11. With audio playing from your line-level source, turn the line level knob on your
full-range loudspeakers until you have achieved a comfortable listening volume.

Power User Tip: If more high-frequency output level is required, turn the Line level
knob clockwise on your full-range loudspeakers. In most cases, the level should
be set the same on both loudspeakers. Adjust the Output level control on your
AIR-series subwoofer to balance the low-frequency content level to taste.

3.1 Rear-Panel Connections and Controls

3.1.1 Full-Range Models: AIR10, AIR12, and AIR15

Mic / Line input and level control. Your AIR-series full-range loudspeaker is
equipped with two Class A microphone preamplifiers for use with most
dynamic microphone types. The combo connection on this input also
supports a line-level signal through the TRS connection.

Use the knob above each Mic/Line connection to adjust
the gain level of the corresponding Mic / Line input.

Power User Tip: It is very important to properly adjust this control
in order to minimize noise and avoid overload distortion. Follow the
level-setting instructions in Section 2.1 before operating a channel.

Note: As with any amplifier or active loudspeaker, plugging in a
microphone or a line-level input device, will create a momentary spike
in the audio output of your AIR-series full-range loudspeaker. Because
of this, it is highly recommended that you turn down the channel
trim or power down your loudspeaker before changing connections.
This simple step will add years to life of your audio equipment.

Auxiliary Input. Your AIR-series loudspeakers are equipped with a stereo 1/8”
connection to connect smartphones, tablets, and other consumer audio
devices.

Power User Tip: All three input connections sum and can be used simultaneously.

AIR-Series Loudspeakers

Owner’s Manual

Mix Out. A balanced Mix output is provided on a male XLR connector. The
Mix Out connection is used to send signals connected to the inputs of your
loudspeaker to other AIR-series loudspeakers. The Mix output signal is the
same as the signal sent to the loudspeaker’s internal amplifier.

Master Vol. Use the level control next to the LCD screen to adjust the overall
level of your AIR-series loudspeaker. It does not effect the Mix Output. Push
this control to access all of the tuning functions in your AIR-series
loudspeaker.

3.2 Power

3.1.2 Subwoofers: AIR15s and AIR18s

Line inputs. The AIR-series subwoofers feature two line-level inputs. These
balanced XLR / ¼” TRS combo connections are provided to connect your
subwoofer to a StudioLive-series mixer or other mixing console.

Power User Tip: Two inputs are provided in order to accept a stereo signal from
the output of the mixing console. Both channels should be connected, as the
low-frequency content from both channels of a stereo signal is summed before
the lowpass filter. However, either input may be used if the mixing console output
signal is mono only or if you are sending low-frequency channels (bass, kick,
keyboards, etc.) to a separate aux or subgroup output for the subwoofer only.

Outputs. Two line-level outputs (1 and 2) are provided to pass the stereo
signal from the subwoofer to full-range loudspeakers. The outputs are parallel
to Inputs 1 and 2, respectively.

AIR-Series Loudspeakers

Owner’s Manual

3.2 Power

Master Vol. This knob determines the master output level (volume) of the
subwoofer power amplifier. It has no effect on the signal level from Outputs 1
and 2. Push this control to access all the DSP functions in your AIR-series
loudspeaker.

Power User Tip: A subwoofer can significantly change the frequency response
of a full-range system. A 3-way system with a subwoofer will be 6 to 18 dB hotter
below 80 to 100 Hz. Set the appropriate level for your subwoofer before adjusting
your system EQ.

AC line connection. AIR-series loudspeakers have a universal power supply
that accepts AC power input between 100 and 250 VAC at 50/60 Hz. Each
loudspeaker is supplied with an IEC cord appropriate for the country of sale.

WARNING: Do not remove the center grounding prong or use a
ground-lift adapter, as this could result in electric shock.

Power Switch. This is the On/Off switch.

Power User Tip: If connecting multiple loudspeakers to the same electrical
circuit, make sure that adequate line current is available. The maximum current
draw for each AIR-series loudspeaker is listed in the Specifications in Section 4.1.

Voltage Selection. AIR-series loudspeakers are configured for the country of
sale. Only use this switch if you are using your loudspeaker in a country with a
different standard voltage than the country where you purchased your
loudspeaker.

Fuse. This is the fuse housing for your AIR-series loudspeaker. The fuse type
for your loudspeaker is listed on the rear-panel.

Loudspeaker won’t turn on.

If the loudspeaker is plugged in, and the switch is on,
but no LEDs illuminate, check the following:

• Make sure the power cord is fully and securely inserted
in the IEC receptacle and in the wall outlet.

• Confirm that the AC outlet is “live,” using a tester or other
device (such as a lamp) that is known to be working.

AIR-Series Loudspeakers

Owner’s Manual

Loudspeaker is on but there’s no sound.

Check to make sure the signal is “live” from an external source. Check that output
faders are up on the mixing console and check the output level using headphones.

If another speaker in a stereo configuration is working, swap input
cables. If the problem moves, replace the faulty cable.

If the loudspeaker has been producing sound at high levels and
then stops, it may have gone into thermal muting. Allow the unit to
cool, and make sure the heat sink has sufficient ventilation.

Sound breaks up intermittently.

Check the input sources, using headphones, if possible,
to determine if the problem is with the source.

Check console outputs and all input and loop-thru connectors to make sure they
are securely plugged in. If the problem persists, try replacing cables with spares.

Loudspeaker has hum or buzz.

Nearly all hum and buzz problems are related to cable grounding. With
the loudspeaker at low volume, remove input and output cables, one at
a time, until the noise disappears. Try replacing the suspect cable.

If you are using two-conductor cables with unbalanced ¼” connectors,
try replacing with balanced cables using TRS or XLR connectors.

Try plugging loudspeakers and the external mixer into outlets that
share a common ground. If necessary, use an extension cord to plug
the external mixer into the same outlet as the loudspeaker—but do
not run the AC cord bundled with the audio signal cables.

Dinner is Served

Added bonus: PreSonus’ previously Top Secret recipe for…

Redfish Couvillion

Ingredients:

• ¼ C Vegetable oil

• ¼ C flour

• 1 onion diced

• 1 clove garlic minced

• 1 green pepper diced

• 3 celery stalks diced

• 1 14oz can diced tomatoes

• 1 bottle light beer

• 2 bay leaves

• 1 tsp thyme

• 2 lbs Redfish fillets

Cooking Instructions:

1. In a heavy saucepan or large skillet, heat oil on medium high and slowly add flour a tablespoon at a time to create a roux.
Continue cooking the roux until it begins to brown, creating a dark blond roux.

2. Add garlic, onions, green pepper, and celery to roux.

3. Sauté vegetables for 3-5 minutes until they start to soften.

4. Add tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme, and redfish. Cook for several minutes.

5. Slowly add beer and bring to a low boil.

6. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30-45 minutes until redfish and vegetables are completely cooked, stirring
occasionally. Break up redfish into bite size chunks and stir in. Add pepper or hot sauce to taste. Do not cover.

7. Serve over rice

Serves 6-8

While not one of Southeast Louisiana’s more famous dishes, Redfish Couvillion is a favorite way to serve our
favorite Gulf fish. Also known as Reds or Red Drum, Redfish is not only fun to catch, it’s also delicious!
