INTRODUCTION
system is a ultra-portable active sound system (composed by a modular
line array plus a subwoofer) that combines quality of sound and design with high
operating efciency of our power amplier.
Modularity is the keyword of this innovative system, designed for one-man band,
small band to big orchestra, home and movie theaters, churches... here 3 different
congurations which can be adapted to all your needs giving unparalleled exibility
whatever the application: from small to large audience!
system 1
features four 2.0” full range custom transducers (1 module) in
the line array satellite and one 2x8” subwoofer ( 802);
system 2
features eight 2.0” full range custom transducers (2 modules)
in the line array satellite and one 2x8” subwoofer ( 802);
system 4
features sixteen 2.0” full range custom transducers (4
modules) in the line array satellite and one 2x8” subwoofer (
802);
systems include high power class-D ampliers, the 802 subwoofer
features a two-way amplier with DSP controlled crossover (500W for low channel
+ 200W for high channel).
The processing of the DSP allows to deliver a high output from these small
systems with a precise and focused response on both low and high frequencies
and a quick control of distorsion.
systems design offers a perfect listening experience to the audience with
its accurate sound.
The installation is easy and simple and the different mounting setup options are
available to suit every taste and need of the listener.
The innovative design of the satellite allows to rotate each module respect to
the position of subwoofer; it also allows to use a part of the satellite as a ‘Floor
monitor’.

SUBWOOFER CONTROL PANEL – ERGO 802
CLIP SUB (1) and HIGH (2)
The clip LEDs allow you to set the optimal level of the signal sent to the system’s speakers.
To nd the optimal level back off the power amp level (MASTER) so that the LEDs rarely
turn on.
GAIN INSTRUMENT (3)
This knob regulates the gain level of the INSTRUMENT input.
INSTRUMENT CLIP (4)
This clip LED allows you to set the optimal gain level of your signal due to instrument
input.
PRESETS (5)
The selector allows you to choose between 6 different equalization settings, optimized
for the use with the different systems:
System 1 (1)
System 1 with Boost (2)
System 2 (3)
System 2 with Boost (4)
System 4 (5)
System 4 with Boost (6);
MONO/STEREO SWITCH (6)
When a stereo signal is connected to the AUX Input and you’d use two Markaudio system
in STEREO conguration selecting this switch on Stereo mode allows to send one of the
two channel of the stereo signal to the second system via XLR LINK.
Select the switch in MONO in case of only one Markaudio System or if you’d link two
systems in MONO mode..
MASTER LEVEL (7)
This is the MASTER Volume level.
ON (8)
Power status indicator LED.
INPUT XLR (9) XLR Balanced Input.
The XLR 3-pole female jack is electronically balanced (hot pole: #2). You can use
unbalanced sources only if your cables have pole 3 jumpered to pole 1.
Important: when powering up, turn on your sound source (CD player and mixer, for
example) before turning on the MarkAudio cabinets. When powering off, turn the cabinets
off rst.

GROUND LIFT (10)
This switch may be needed for the cancellation of hum due to ground loops with other
apparatuses;
LINK XLR/LEFT (11)
Line out to connect another Markaudio system to the principal system; it performs as a
LINK (MONO mode) or it sends only the LEFT CHANNEL (STEREO mode) when a stereo
signal is connected to the AUX INPUT.
INPUT INSTRUMENT (12)
Line input 1/4” jack (for direct plugging a MONO instrument).
AUX INPUT (13)
Line input jack for plugging a STEREO audio signal through mini-jack connector.
COOLING (14)
Forced ventilation stabilizes the working temperature of electronic components
for continuous performance, even after a long period of operation. Avoid using the
loudspeaker on irregular surfaces that might block the vents.
AC POWER SOCKET (15)
VDE power jack for connecting the power cable from the unit to a wall power source. Make
sure the unit is grounded; all three terminals of the AC power plug must be connected to
avoid any injury to the user or damage to the unit.
Markaudio powered speakers are manufactured to be used in the country where they
have been sold, and are factory preset to that country’s voltage. So make sure you’re
sending the correct voltage to your amp before you connect it to AC power.
FUSE (16)
Fuse housing.
ON/OFF SWITCH (17)
On/off power switch.
POWER OUT 1 (18)
Use this output to connect the module/s as showed at the following CONNECTIONS
instructions.
POWER OUT 2 (19)
Use this output only to connect the modules of SYSTEM8 as showed at the
CONNECTIONS instructions.

CONNECTIONS system
satellite can be composed by different number of modules (each one
features four 2” full-range speakers).
system 1 features 1 module
system 2 features 2 modules
system 4 features 4 modules
Each module ts to another one and you can decide the preferred angle exploiting
“pivot” edges.

1. Put the 802 on the oor
vertically or horizontally;
2. Screw the rod of the AC /
SPEAKER POLE on the 802 and
insert the rst module on the top;
3. Use the ‘long’ jack cable to connect the
‘Power Out 1” of the 802 subwoofer
to the rst module input;
4. If you have system 2 or system 4, take the second, the third and the
fourth modules and x them on the top of the rst one through the equipped
junctions (pivot) with the angle you prefer;

5. Take 1 or 3 ‘short’ jack cables
and link the each module
with the close one as shown in the
