1Power input socket
Allows you to connect the speaker to an electrical outlet.
Use the supplied IEC cord, and make sure the voltage
delivered by the outlet is in adequation with the value
indicated by the voltage selector before turning on the
built-in amplifier.
2Power switch
Allows you to turn ON/OFF the built-in amplifier.
3XLR LINE OUT socket
Allows you to retrieve the sum of each incoming signal
and transmit it to another amplified speaker, mixing
desk, or speaker/amplifier system.
4MIC/LINE input via COMBO plug
The COMBO plug allows you to connect either a male
XLR plug or male stereo/mono Jack plug.
5LINE/MIC Selector
Allows you to adapt the impedance of the socket to the
type of signal detected.
When pressed, the entry level is adapted to a
microphone, when released it is adapted to a line level
signal.
6Integrated DSP diplay
Displays the settings of the built-in DSP.
The different settings of the DSP will be explained in
paragraph 5.

ATOM10A/12A/15A input setting
1 - Connect the loudspeaker to the mains via IEC plug / 2-pin + earth. Leave the power switch (2) in the
OFF position.
2 - Set all LEVEL potentiometers (8 and 9) to the -∞position.
3 - Connect your microphone or line level source or both. L'entrée ligne est accessible par le branchement
The line input can be accessed via a 3-pin 6.35 mm (TRS) jack, RCA LINE IN or AUX input. To acces
to the microphone preamplifier, use the XRL plug
4 - Switch on the line level source.
5 - Switch on the ATOM speaker.
6 - While you are speaking in a microphone or an audio signal is being played from your line-level source,
turn the input level knob (s) until the display shows "Limit Signal", then turn it down just below that
level.
7 - If you use a microphone, be careful not to stand too close to the speaker as this may result in
feedback. If you do not use both inputs, it is recommended that you leave the level knob on the
unused input at the -∞position to prevent noise from entering the signal circuit.

The COMBO sockets are
symetrical. This type of
connectors allows you to transmit
a signal over long runs of cables
without altering its quality, that
is why we recommend to use
symetrical signals.
The figures opposite describe
the balanced wiring of the XLR or
Jack 6.35 plugs.
If you do not have any source
with symetrical signal, please do
not use cables longer than 1.5 m.
The figures opposite describe the
