audio mixing consoles and electronic musical
instruments may be connected here.
9. Line Input left: Use XLR and a 1/4” jack connec-
tor balanced or unbalance.
10. Line Input right: Use XLR and a 1/4” jack con-
nector balanced or unbalance.
11. Aux Input: Use RCA and 3.5mm connector bal-
anced or unbalance.
12. Mix Out: Use XLR connector balanced or unbal-
anced.
13. INDICATOR LEDS
14. ON: Lights up once the system is properly con-
nected to the power mains and switched on.
SIGNAL: Lights up as soon as an audio signal
is present. The signal acquisition is performed
before the MAIN LEVEL controller.
15. LIMIT: Lights up if the loudspeaker system is
operating in the clipping range. A short flash of
the LED is not critical. To protect the system,
an excessive signal level is gently turned down
by the built-in limiter. If the limiter LED lights
up permanently or for longer periods, reduce
the volume level. Failure to do so may result in
a distorted sound and damage to the speaker
system.
16. Power Supply Input Connector: Use with power
cord.
17. Power Supply Switch.
ׁWarning: Make sure speaker is off and all
LEVEL controls are down (counterclockwise)
before every use.
Connections:
1. Connect the output from your signal source
(mixing console, microphone, preamp, or other
mic- or line-level source) directly to the INPUT
connector on the back of the speaker. It ac-
cepts balanced line-level signals from mixers,
preamplifiers, CD players, tape decks, etc., and
accepts direct connections from dynamic mi-
crophones through the MIC input.
2. There is also an XLR Output connector labeled
LINE OUT. This allows you to connect more than
one PWR12 to the output of your sound source.
Simply plug an XLR cable from the Line Out
connector of one speaker to the input connector
of another speaker, and so on, daisy-chaining
multiple speakers.
3. Turn on your signal source. (Make sure volume
is turned down) Turn on PWR12. Start signal
source and adjust volume controls on the signal
source and PWR12 speaker.
