1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the the only portable PA systems featuring the Evo True Wireless
transmitter. This Patent Pending PLL synthesized wireless microphone system operates in an FCC
approved UHF band frequency with 16 selectable channels. Please read this instruction manual
carefully before operating your system. This manual covers the function and operation of the wireless
microphone system and portable PA system.
2. Safety
• While the Evo transmitter is water resistant, the Group.X portable electronics are not. Please
observe all safety precautions.
• Do not spill liquid on the Group.X MONSTER and do not drop either unit.
• Do not place the units near heat sources such as radiators, amplifiers, or etc.
• Do not expose it to direct sunlight, extremely dusty conditions, excessive moisture, or vibration.
3. Environment
• Do not throw used electronics into a fire or garbage bin with domestic rubbish. Be sure to dispose
of used batteries in accordance with local waste disposal rules.
• You want to say you are green? Both the Evo Headworn Transmitter and the Group.X portables
feature recharging battery systems. Even better, you don't have to keep buying batteries!
4. Wireless Notes
• Before setting up, make sure that the transmitter and receiver are tuned to the same frequency.
• Do not use two transmitters tuned to the same frequency.
• Always operate your system with a fully charged battery.
• While checking sound, move the transmitter around the area where you use the system to look for
dead spots (loss of signal). If you find any dead spots, change the receiver position. If it does not
work, avoid such places.
• To help avoid interference, do not put the receiver too near substantial metal or reflective objects
and avoid obstructions between transmitter and receiver.
• Avoid the interference from TV, radio, other wireless appliances and etc..
• Wireless systems depend on fully charged batteries. Low batteries will seriously degrade
performance. Be certain to allow charge time prior to use.
• Be certain that the Group.X MONSTER portable PA is exposed and in 'line of sight' with the
transmitter.

5. Quick Start Guide
• Fully charge the Evo transmitter by connecting the Evo to the supplied wall plug transformer.
Leave your Evo transmitter powered OFF while charging.
• Fully charge the Group.X MONSTER Portable PA.
• Set master volume to minimum, switch Group.X MONSTER portable PA power on. Leave Evo
off.
• With wireless receiver turned on, but with volume turned down, set the receiver to the desired
channel. If the RF lights (with the Evo transmitter OFF), select another channel with no RF
activity.
• Turn on your Evo transmitter and select the matching channel. Note the below table describing
the channels! Note that position 0 indicates channel 16. See Section 7 for details. Also –
be sure to watch the receiver RF indicator for activity as you select the transmitter channel, as
described in the next step. If the RF lights lights fully on one switch position, you have likely
found the correct channel.

• Raise wireless volume to approximately midway.
• Slowly raise main PA volume to desired level. If needed, wireless volume may also be
adjusted.
• If setting up a second Evo and PA receiver (optional), follow the first five steps for the second
unit before checking volume on each. It is good practice to skip at least one channel when
using multiple transmitter/receivers.
• Go forth and be truly wireless!

6. Group.X MONSTER Portable PA
The Group.X Monster is designed for use only with Ansr Audio / Special Projects 16channel selectable channel transmitters. The receiver operates in UHF 682-697 MHz f
requency band with PLL synthesized control.
6.1 Things to Remember:
– Be certain that the Master volume is down before powering on
– Be certain the Master volume is down before powering the wireless receiver on
– Best practice is to leave the Monitor level all the way down unless you need it
If using an MP3 player, connect to the AUX inputs with a stereo 3.5 mm (mini jack or mini TRS)
to stereo RCA cable. Volume can then be controlled at the AUX volume knob.
Charge the batteries if needed – there is a battery meter on the rear panel
Before using the built-in wireless system, be certain the antenna is attached. You'll find
it packaged with the system accessories.
If you power the unit on with a CD already in the player, press the CD button on the player to
activate CD mode.
If you wish to have the music automatically lowered when you speak into the mic, set the
Music Mute switch to 'MUTE ON'. In a fitness class, you will likely want this set to 'MUTE OFF'.
Remember that the each component or input has it's own volume (wireless mic, wired mic, CD,
AUX). Set the blend as you want it, the use the MASTER volume to raise or lower your
blended mix to the desired level.
