DANGER
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause
permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably
to noise-induced hearing loss but most will lose some
hearing if exposed to intense noise for a sufcient
period of time.
The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) has specied the following
permissible noise level exposures:
According to OSHA, any exposure in the above permissible
limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or
protectors in the ear canal or over the ears must be worn
when operating this amplication system in order to prevent
a permanent hearing loss. If exposure in excess of the limits
as put forth above, to insure against potentially harmful
exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended
that all persons exposed to equipment capable of inducing
high sound pressure levels, such as this amplication
system, be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is
in operation.

ACTIVE POWERED SPEAKER
1. MIC Inputs
Two MIC input pairs. Each one accepts a high-impedance
1/4” jack and/or a low-impedance XLR connection. For best
results, use a low-impedance microphone and a properly
wired cable. The 1/4” inputs are designed for low line-level
signals such as microphones or acoustic guitars. Standard
line-level signals should be connected to the Dual RCA or XLR
line input.
2. LINE Input
Accepts line-level signals through the Dual RCA jacks or the
single XLR connector.
3. LINE Out
Sends signal out before the power amp, so you can connect
to another active speaker or any other device that accepts a
line level signal.
4. Power Switch
Switches the unit on or off. Be sure to turn the MASTER level
down before you turn the unit on.
5. FUSE & AC
This is a power socket with a FUSE holder.
