Starting to operate StagePRO/StageMAN/StageSLAVE
First of all, please charge for at least 4~6 hours because the built-in rechargeable battery might
have been discharged naturally due to long shipment and storage time, even though it has been
fully charged in the factory prior to the shipment.
To operate this portable sound unit, please switch on the main POWER switch. However, if the
battery indicator stops at 40%, it means the battery is getting weak and instant recharging is
necessary.
The main POWER switch does NOT switch on the other devices since each of them has
individual Power/Volume control. To operate those, you have to switch them on accordingly.
Operating the wired microphone
To use a cable microphone, simply plug it into any MIC IN socket. The sockets accept both XLR
and 6.3mm jack. There are individual volume, tone and reverb controls for both microphones’
adjusting.
Playing the instruments
There are 2 inputs for connection with your instrument such as guitar. Above them is the volume
control specifically for their adjusting.
Music audio inputs
To receive different audio signals from unbalanced sources with different connectors, the unit is
equipped with one 3.5mm and one RCA R/L jacks. This Line-in area has its individual volume
and tone control (Bass/Middle/Treble), too.
Digital in
The Digital-in is for audio connection with the PC/Notebook. Just use a USB cable to connect the
unit and your PC/Notebook to make StagePRO/StageMAN the speaker of your device. Its
volume is controlled by the master adjusting knob.
Operating Voice Priority
Voice Priority operation is only necessary when CD/USB/MP3 is playing.
When the Voice Priority switch is ON, the ducking function will be activated. While the music is
playing, a voice input from either a Wired or Wireless Microphone will temporarily override and
lower the volume of the background music and voice could be heard more clearly.
Background music will return to its original setting when no audio input is entering the
microphone for a certain time. However, if the microphone is not switch off, the reentering of
music into the microphone will also activate the voice priority function.
Operating Loudness
When the amplifier’s sound is at low level, the tone might not be clear enough to be heard and
activating the Loudness function can raise the tone level to make it clearer.

Limiter Function
There’s an interior anti-overload circuit to protect the amplifier from being damaged due to over
volume output, this design will automatically lower the output when it goes over the limit.
Various audio outputs
Active out: The StagePRO/StageMAN could be operated as the MASTER unit in an audio link
system. In order to operate Audio Link, you must have a StagePRO/StageMAN as the only
MASTER.The Master is capable of connecting with up to about 20 active speakers
(StageSLAVE).
To install the linking, please connect the output jack the Active-in of the 1st StageSLAVE. Its
Output jack should be connected to the Active-in of the 2nd one and so forth.
Aux out: This 6.3mm jack is used as audio output connection to another active amplifier.
Recharging the battery
StagePRO/StageMAN/StageSLAVE uses either two lead-acid batteries or one lithium battery.
The battery power is leveled from 40%, 60%, 80% and FULL. If the LED stays at 40%, the
battery might not be sustainable for long operation. During recharging the indicator LED will flash
RED until the battery power is full, at which the LED stays GREEN. However, if there is no
battery inside or the battery has problem, the charging LED will stays YELLOW.
Operating the wireless microphone
To operate the wireless system, please switch on the power/volume control on the module panel
and the matching transmitter. Then set the channel on both the transmitter and receiver module
to the same before operation. Please as well make sure that master volume control is set to
minimum level before turning on the amplifier, especially working on a wireless version! Position
the Master volume to the middle. Then adjust the receiver volume to a desired level and the
operation is ready.

7. Squelch control
First turn on the Power of the main unit. Then turn on the individual power of the receiver module.
Select a desired channel by pressing the ▲or ▼button and the corresponding channel on the
Transmitter.
When transmitter is turned on, either A or B diversity indicator will flash to indicate that signal has
been received. Turning the volume control in clockwise direction can increase the audio output.

Once the power volume on the transmitter is too low, the LED indicator (4) on this panel grow will
grow to remind.
Frequency scanning
It is the automatic scan function key. To perform the scan function, the transmitter must be
switched off. Once the key is being pressed, the unit will do an auto scan and the next clean
channel will be displayed. Change the transmitter channel setting to this setting for an
interference- free operation.
Squelch(SQ) setting
When a channel is in use and undesired interference signal is received, turn the SQ in clockwise
direction to make the receiver less sensitive and thus less susceptible to interference. If this still
does not solve the problem, it means this frequency is not applicable at current position. Please
switch over to the next channel.

3. Channel selectors: Press ▲(up)▼(down) to increase/decrease channel number. Please select
a non-interfering frequency channel to those used in the receiver modules.
4. Power on/off
5. Audio sensitivity: Clockwise to increase its sensitivity level and anticlockwise to reduce.
6. Output power switch. L for LOW output power and H for high output power. LOW output power
will reduce the RF transmission distance and HIGH output power will extend the possible RF
transmission distance. However, if RP-6016m is installed in portable amplifiers, HIGH output
power will reduce more operation time than LOW output power since it requires more power for
longer RF transmission.
