Installation Site Requirements
●This device can be used only indoors.
●The device must be installed away from heating sources and direct sunlight.
●The maximum ambient temperature ta= 40 °C must never be exceeded.
●The relative humidity must not exceed 50 % with an ambient temperature of 40 °C.
Note:
It is recommended to charge the device at an ambient temperature between 0 °C and 35 °C.
Mounting Options
WARNING
Stability hazard
The device may fall if it is mounted to a speaker stand, causing personal injury or death. The device is for
use only with the stands that are recommended in this user manual.
●Make sure that the device is safely mounted to the speaker stand.
●Do not use speaker stands that are not recommended in this user manual. Use of the device with
other stands may result in instability causing injury.
The device can be positioned on a flat surface or mounted to a speaker stand.
The mounting options are as follows:
Option 1: installation on a speaker stand
Use the 35-mm pole mount (03) to install the
device on a speaker stand.
This method ensures greater projection of sound.
Fig. 07
Option 2: inclined installation on a flat surface
This method is recommended when both the
artist and the audience are standing. Using this
method, the artist is also better able to hear his
own output during performance.
There is a HPF (high-pass filter) button at the
bottom of the device that gets pressed when you
install the device in this position. The HPF cuts off
lower frequencies which leads to cleaner
microphone output sound.
Fig. 08

15
PSS-106 Battery Speaker
Product code: D2612/D2613
Option 3: installation as a floor monitor
The device functions only as a floor monitor. This
way, the artist is able to hear his own output
during performance.
There is a HPF (high-pass filter) button at the side
of the device that gets pressed when you install
the device in this position. The HPF cuts off lower
frequencies which leads to cleaner microphone
output sound.
