1 - L and R balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) inputs
Connect here your mixing desk or any other line level source.
2 - Master volume
This fader affects the volume of the whole amplification system.
(ADJUST THE SOUND LEVEL SO THE CLIP INDICATOR IS NOT
CONTINOUSLY LIT)
3 - L and R balanced outputs
Allow you to retrieve the incoming signal to transmit it, for instance, to
active speakers.
4 - Low-pass outputs settings (in Hertz)
This 3-position switch allows you to limit the bandwidth of the signal sent
to the outputs.
- 22 Hz: Only the sub-basses are eliminated.
- 80 Hz: Any frequency below 80 is eliminated.
- 125 Hz: The frequency above 125 Hz only will be sent.
5 - Signal level LEDs
- SIGNAL indicates an incoming signal
- CLIP indicates an incoming signal above 0 dB.
(ADJUST THE SOUND LEVEL SO THE CLIP INDICATOR IS NOT CONTINOUSLY LIT)
6 - Subwoofer volume
The volume of the subwoofer can be adjusted separately. The middle position is the default configuration. (ADJUST
THE SOUND LEVEL SO THE CLIP INDICATOR IS NOT CONTINOUSLY LIT)
7 - Activation of the limiter
The limiter protects the amplification system, by activating this function you are preventing the system from being
damaged by a too powerful incoming signal.

8 - Subwoofer/satellites cutoff frequency (in Hertz)
This function depends on the acoustics of your room and determines the frequecy from which the subwoofer will start
playing its role. Use this function to even the sound distribution between the satellites and the subwoofer.
9 - Phase switch
Use this function if you notice any lack of basses.
In most cases the satellites position relative to the subwoofer is responsible for this "lack" of basses, and this function
can solve the problem.
10 - Equalizer and balance
Allows you to correct the incoming signal basses and trebles and spread the signal across the right and left satellites.
11 - MIC1 and MIC2 Volume
This setting affect the mic 1 and 2 inputs sound level.
12 - MIC1 and MIC2 inputs
Connect your wired microphone here.
CAUTION
Please make sure to properly configure the sound levels of your system. In addition to being unpleasant for
the audience, improper settings can damage your whole sound system.
The "LIMIT" indicators will light on when the maximum level is reached and must never be permanently lit.
Beyond this maximul level, the volume will not increase but will be distorted.
Moreover, your system can be destroyed by an excessive sound level despite of the internal electronic
protections.
First, in order to prevent that, adjust the sound level via the Level of each channel.
Then, use the DSP to adjust the acoustic as you wish.
Finally, adjust the volume of the subwoofer.
If the sound output does not seem powerful enough, we strongly recommend to multiply the number of systems or
satellites in order to spread the sound output evenly.
3.3 - Satellites:
Satellite of the COMPACT system:
The satelitte has an impedance of 8 Ohms and a power of
100W.
Only one 8 Ohms satellite can be connected
to the active output of the subwoofer.
The satellites were designed to be operated with this
subwoofer.
Please do not use any other type of satellites as it may
damage the whole sound system.
CAUTION

The drawing above describes an installation with a mixing desk linked to other sources (CD player,
turntable etc.).
You can also connect microphones directly to the MIC1 and MIC2 inputs, and a player to the RCA
"unbalanced inputs".
However, it is preferable to use a mixing desk to control the levels and multiply the sources.
CAUTION
The satelitte has an impedance of 8 Ohms and a power of 100W.
Only one 8 Ohms satellite can be connected to the active output of the subwoofer.
The Link output can be used to connect active speakers or an extra COMPACT system, for instance.
4.1 - Wiring the COMPACT system:

ENGLISH
COMPACT700 - Active subwoofer and satellites
Page 9
The COMPACT satellites are equipped with M6 inserts allowing you to hang them to walls.
Please find below more details about these inserts.
Note :
- No matter which hanging system you choose, you must use a double safety cable to
secure the fixation.
- Please make sure the type of support chosen is compatible with the weight of the
satellite.
- Please check the type of fixation is adapted to your wall.
The COMPACT satellites can be equipped with an accessory featuring a 35mm baseplate to mount
them on a compatible speaker stand, as described on the drawing opposite.
Please respect the following safety precautions when using speaker stands:
- When using speakers stands outdoors, please make sure the stands are
secured, even perhaps guyed, in order to prevent any risk of fall.
- If the speaker stands are in a crowded area, make sure to prevent the
audience from accessing them.
- When mounting the stands, make sure to spread the tripod as much as
possible to stabilise the stand.
- Please make sure to install your stands on a flat, even surface.
- Tighten the clamping knobs properly before turning the speakers on
