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 fi lter 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.
Quickstart Guide5
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.
6Milan 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 fi rst 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 fl at 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 fl oor.

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.
100 Hz Low Cut Switch
This low cut fi lter can be switched in when
using the Milan loudspeaker with subwoofers
or when used as a fl oor monitor. It introduces
a fourth order low cut fi lter in the lower part of
the frequency response at 100 Hz, and is useful
to avoid boominess due to proximity to the
fl oor when the loudspeaker is used as a fl oor

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 defi nition 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 Con trol
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 fl oors.
