1)Make your initial connections with all the equipment powered off, and ensure that all the main volume
controls are turned "off" completly, too.
2)Connect one end of the signal cable at your audio mixer into OUTPUT LEFT, and the other end of the cable
into the LEFT LINE INPUT of your active subwoofers, Same procedure for the right side speaker.
3)Connect one end of another signal cable at your active subwoofers into LINK LEFT or OUT LEFT, and the other
end of the cable into the LINE INPUT LEFT of your active satellite speaker. Same procedure for the right side.
*If you connect into the OUT LEFT/RIGHT, and press the BYPASS switch, the 80Hz HPF will be activated.
4) Connect the power cords to main.
5) Turn on your mixer first, then the active speaker cabinets.
6) Turn up the volume controls of the active speaker cabinets.
7) Use PFL function to get the proper input level for the mixer, and adjust the Main Mix Level.
8) After using, turn off your active speaker cabinets first, then the mixer.
