BASIC EQUIPMENT

2 MIC OR/AND LINE MIXABLE INPUTS

Input N°1 is equipped with 1 XLR (3 pins) mic input, 1 line input equipped with 2 RCA connectors and a volume control. The input selection is automatic. If both inputs are connected, you can use them simultaneously

Input N°2 is equipped with 1 stereo Jack (6.35mm) mic input, 1 line input equipped with 2 RCA connectors and a volume control. The input selection is automa-

tic. If both inputs are connected, you can use them simultaneously.

TONE ADJUSTMENTS

The Xpresso is equipped with 3 highly performing tone adjustments. 1 bass frequency tone control on 100 Hz with +/- 12 dB efficiency. 1 treble frequency tone control on 10000 Hz with +/- 12 dB efficiency. 1 voice adjustment especially designed for use in medium frequency which allows for a sharp increase of voice presence on the mic inputs.

LINE OUTPUT

The Xpresso is equipped with 1 RCA line output enabling connection to another Xpresso or to any other sound system. You just have to connect the Xpresso Line out to the Line In of the selected equipment.

To avoid the larsen effect when you switch on mics, do not turn the gain if you are not far from Xpresso. ADVICE : We strongly recommend that you switch off the mic, adjust the volume of the Xpresso to the desired volume, then be a few meters away before switching on the mic again.

illustrated below.

HC-30 Charger for the microphone, HC-37 for the belt transmitter

Handheld microphones and beltpack transmitters can be reloaded.The charger HC-30 is for the handheld microphone SQ-5016. The charger HC-37 is for handheld microphone SM-5016.Before loading check that the batteries are rechargeable ones.

HC- 30

HC-37

For rechargeable batteries we strongly recommend NiMH batteries, no alkanies. Wrong batteries can damage the microphone functions. Check battery status. Many batteries are known to have leakage problem of conductive and corrosive liquid. Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the belt transmitter for a few days. Also check that transmitter and receiver are on the same channel.
