microphones and instruments, Line for mixers,
keyboards, or instruments with active pickups).
• Plug connection to INPUT 2 (CH2) – proceed in
the same manner as with INPUT 1.
• Plug connection to INPUT 3 (CH3) – STEREO
jack is well suited to use with mobile phone, mo-
bile audio device, or computer.
• 10dB LINE jacks is well suited for use with key-
board, drum machine, or other line level devices.
See Bluetooth® Controls section to use a wire-
less device as the source for INPUT 3.
POWERING UP
• Turn on the power to any devices plugged into
Input 1 (CH1) , Input 2 (CH2), or Aux Input (CH3)
and ensure their output volumes are turned up.
(Generally, the best sound can be achieved by
turning output device volume to maximum, then
making any volume adjustment via the input gain
controls of the AS8 AC/DC).
• Power ON the AS8 AC/DC.
• Slowly turn INPUT 1 (CH1) GAIN, INPUT 2 (CH2)
GAIN, and INPUT 3 (CH3) GAIN to the desired
levels.
POWER/CLIP LED AND PROPER LEVELS
• This LED on the AS8 AC/DC should normally be
green when its AC power cord is connected to an
electrical outlet, and the Power Switch is turned
on.
• If this LED is constantly turning red, it means that
one of the input signals is too high.
• Turn down each input gain volume knob in turn to

clearer.
• Power ON the AS8 AC/DC. Slowly turn INPUT 1
GAIN, INPUT 2 GAIN, and INPUT 3 GAIN to the
desired levels.
LINKING MULTIPLE SPEAKERS
• If linking multiple speakers, connect all input
connection of the next AS8 AC/DC, and continue
the daisy chain to the last AS8 AC/DC. (This is
common where multiple monitor mixers share the
same feed from the mixing board.)
• To avoid “pops” when turning power on/off, the
last AS8 AC/DC should be powered on last, and

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Do not short circuit the battery. Avoid subjecting the battery to a short circuit, as doing so gener-
ates a very high current, resulting in overheating, electrolyte gel leakage, harmful fumes, explosion
risk, or other damage to the battery.
Mechanical shock. Dropping, impacting, striking, or bending the unit, or subjecting the unit to any
other types of mechanical shock may cause failure or shortend life of the battery.
Do not disassemble the batteries. Never disassemble the batteries, as doing so may result in an
internal short circuit in the battery, leading to fire, explosion, release of harmful fumes, or other haz-
ards. Electrolyte gel is harmful, and contact should be avoided whenever possible. Should the elec-
trolyte gel come into contact with the skin or eyes, flush the area of contact immediately with fresh
water and seek medical attention immediately.
Do not expose battery to heat or fire. Never incinerate or dispose of the batteries in fire, as this
could result in an explosion.
Do not exposre the battery to water or liquids. Never expose or immerse the batteries in liquids of
any type, including water, seawater, soft drinks, juices, coffee, or other beverages.
Battery Replacement. For battery replacement please contact customer support.
Never use a damaged battery. Shipping carries a risk of damage to the battery. Should damage
be observed, including damage to the plastic casing of the battery, deformation of the battery pack-
age, chemical or electrolyte odor, or leakage of the electrolyte gel, or any other miscellaneous dam-
age, DO NOT use the battery. A battery with a odor of electrolyte or a gel leakage should be placed
away from fire to avoid risk of fire or explosion.
Battery Storage. The battery should be stored at room temperature, with a charge of at least 50%.
During long periods of storage, it is recommended that the battery be charged every 6 months.
Doing so will prolong the life of the battery and will also make sure that the battery charge does not
fall below the 30% mark.
Other Chemical Reactions. Because batteries rely on a chemical reaction to work, battery perfor-
mance will deteriorate over time, even if stored for a long period of time without being used. In addi-
tion, if various usage conditions (such as charge, discharge, ambient temperature, etc.) are not main-
tained within the specified ranges, the life expectancy of the battery maybe shortened or the device
in which the battery is used may be damaged by electrolyte gel leakage. If the batteries cannot
maintain a charge for long periods of time, even when they are charged correctly, this may indicate
the need to replace the battery.
Battery Disposal. Please dispose of battery according to local regulations.

BATTERY STATUS DURING OPERATION:
• Four (4) steady indicator lights = 75% to 100% charge
• Three (3) steady indicator lights = 51% to 74% charge
• Two (2) steady indicator lights = 26% to 50% charge
• One (1) steady indicator light = 11% to 25% charge
• One (1) blinking indicator light = 10% charge or less
BATTERY STATUS DURING CHARGING:
• Four (4) steady indicator lights = 91% to 100% charge
• Three (3) steady indicator lights + one (1) blinking indicator light = 71% to 90% charge
• Two (2) steady indicator lights + two (2) blinking indicator lights = 46% to 70% charge
• One (1) steady indicator light + three (3) blinking indictor lights = 21% to 45% charge
• Four (4) blinking indicator lights = 20% charge or less
BATTERY RECHARGING:
To recharge the battery, plug one end of the supplied AC cord into the AC input on the side of the
unit, and the other end into a matching power supply. It is recommended to disconnect the unit
from the charger once the battery has reached full charge. Doing so reduces the risk of over-
charging the battery, which can shorten the service life of the battery.
NOTE: When unplugging the unit from charging and then applying power via battery, there will be a
small charge drop.

You will generally get the lowest noise (hiss) by setting source device output to max, and then making
any reductions of the volume via the AS8 AC/DC input gain knobs. Check that the output levels of any
source devices are set appropriately, and that the INPUT GAIN controls for all inputs are set to ap-
whether both the STEREO jack and the -10dB LINE IN jacks on INPUT 3 are being used (connected)
at the same time. If the POWER/CLIP LED is lighting, try adjusting each INPUT GAIN knob in turn to
