Important Safety
Instructions
Terminals marked with this symbol carry electrical current of sufficient
magnitude to constitute risk of electric shock. Use only high-quality commercially-available speaker cables with plugs pre-installed. All other installation or modification should be performed only by qualified personnel.
This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to the presence of uninsulated
dangerous voltage inside the enclosure - voltage that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of shock.
This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to important operating and
maintenance instructions in the accompanying literature. Please read the manual.
Caution
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove
the top cover (or the rear section). No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
Caution
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose this appliance to rain and moisture. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing liquids and no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
Caution
These service instructions are for use by qualified
service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operation instructions. Repairs have to be performed by qualified service personnel.

9.Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A groundingtype plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the 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.

Connection Diagrams
Small duo setup using the integrated mixer and Mix Out function
The integrated two channel mixer allows the simultaneous use of either two low impedance dynamic microphones, a microphone and a line level source, or two line level sources. The line level source(s) can be an acoustic instrument such as a guitar with either passive or active on-board electrics,
a keyboard, or MP3 player. Connect dynamic microphones directly to either of the combo jack/XLR input connectors, switch the MIC/LINE switch to MIC and adjust the volume level as desired. Connect line sources to either of the combo jack/XLR connectors, switch the MIC/LINE switch to LINE and adjust the volume control as desired. Switch the LOW CUT filter to 'OFF' and switch the PROG switch to 'MUSIC'. Additional microphones and sources can be connected by using the MIX OUT function to daisy-chain to additional Milan loudspeakers.

Stereo PA with an external mixer
Two Milan loudspeakers form the left and right elements of a stereo PA setup with all signal sources connected to an external mixing console. Ensure that the MIC/LINE switch is set to LINE on both loudspeakers. Set the LOW CUT switch to the ‘OFF’ position when not using subwoofers. For mixed vocal and music program material set the PROG switch to 'MUSIC'. Bring up the master faders on the mixer, ensuring that the outputs are not clipping, and then adjust both loudspeakers’ level controls to the desired loudness. Adjust the bass and treble controls as required to acheive a suitable frequency response from the system. For consistent balance and response set the level controls and tone controls to approximately the same positions on both cabinets.
6 Milan Series
Stereo PA with an external mixer and subwoofer(s)
In this example, sub frequencies are routed to a separate subwoofer(s) in order to gain extended frequency response and higher overall sound level. Connect the mixer output first to the subwoofers and then loop up to the Milan mid/high loudspeakers. Set the MIC/LINE switch to LINE and set the
LOW CUT switch to the 100 Hz position to roll off the low frequencies to the Milan mid/high loudspeakers. The tone controls on both cabinets should be set to the same positions, nominally flat to begin with. Ensure that the mixer outputs are not clipping, and then adjust both loudspeakers’ level controls to the desired loudness.

Stereo PA with powered wedge monitors
On larger gigs a separate monitor system provides good quality foldback for individual performers and helps to keep the front of house PA sound less cluttered. Set the LOW CUT switch on the monitor speakers to the 100 Hz position for best results if used on the floor.

8 Milan Series
Connecting to the Milan Loudspeaker
1.Mains Connector and Fuseholder
Mains power is connected to the loudspeaker via a combination IEC connector and fuseholder.
2.Mains Switch
Rocker switch turns mains power on to the loudspeaker. Make sure the level controls are fully off (MIN) before switching on.
3.Signal Input
These combo female XLR/jack connectors accept both XLR connectors and mono
(2 pole) or stereo (3 pole) ¼" jack plugs for use with a variety of balanced and unbalanced microphones, instruments and line sources. The inputs are electronically balanced to avoid hum loops and RF interference, and are wired pin 2 hot, pin 3 cold.

This low cut filter can be switched in when |
|
using the Milan loudspeaker with subwoofers |
|
or when used as a floor monitor. It introduces |
|
a fourth order low cut filter in the lower part of |
1 |
the frequency response at 100 Hz, and is useful to avoid boominess due to proximity to the floor when the loudspeaker is used as a floor monitor. The low cut should also be selected when used with sub-bass loudspeakers
and allows bass frequencies to be routed appropriately to the sub-bass speakers,
avoiding an overlap, and giving greater clarity and definition to the overall sound.

4.Mix Out
A balanced line level signal output on a balanced male XLR connector that connects to additional powered Milan loudspeakers. This output contains a mix of all connected sources and is post-EQ, although it is independent of the 100 Hz low cut switch. Note that adjusting equalisation will similarly affect any additional Milan loudspeakers connected to this output.
5.Program Switch
Sets a frequency response contour optimised for either voices or mixed music program material.
6.Treble Control
The treble control provides ±6 dB of shelving at 12 kHz. Always use equalisation sparingly, aiming to cut rather than boost especially when the loudspeaker is used near boundaries such as walls or floors.
