useful and important information about your active portable series element. Please devote some time reading
this manual, and keep it at hand for future reference. NEXT-audiocom is concerned with your safety and
well-being, so please follow all instructions and heed all warnings. Also, a better understanding of some specif-
ic features of the speaker will help you to operate it to its full potential. With a continuous evolution of tech-

UNPACKING
NEXT-audiocom’s MAVERICK Series are built under quality supervision of NEXT-audiocom, according to the
highest standards. When unpacking your element, carefully examine it for any signs of possible transit damage
and inform your dealer immediately if any such damage has occurred.
It is suggested that you retain the original packaging so that the cabinet can be repacked in the future if
necessary. Please note that NEXT-audiocom and its authorized distributors cannot accept any responsibility for
damage to any returned product through the use of non-approved packaging.
MAVERICK SERIES OVERVIEW
NEXT-audiocom engineered the MAVERICK series, a portable loudspeaker series oering the best perfor-
mance and reliability in their class. Combining an ultra compact size, user friendly operation and a great design
makes this series a great solution for musicians, DJs, basic installation and portable multi-porpose sound at a
limited budget.
Maverick series aims to enhance usability and versatility combining eciency to a professional sound perfor-
mance, featuring high quality Bluetooth® audio streaming, for background music or musical accompaniment,
impressive SPL and an advanced DSP. A surprisingly simple handling concept lets you plug in and play straight-
away. Congure the system by selecting the appropriate Preset (MV12) or Tone Optimizer (MV6) and let the
system do the rest.
Thanks to the lightweight, and a very compact size, ABS plastic cabinet, it’s easy to carry and take just about
anywhere. This series comprises two dierent models, MV6 (6,5”) and MV12 (12”).
The Maverick MV6 is a all-in-one Battery-Powered Portable PA with Bluetooth connection, USB MP3 Player, AUX
IN, MIC IN and instrument input. It comes with a remote control allowing the user to control it at distance. The
rechargeable lithium-ion battery keeps you going for up to 6 hours. The multi-position feature allows the user
to use it in several diferent ways: oor standing, oor tilted, stage monitor and pole mounted.
The Maverick MV12 is a 2-way active speaker with Bluetooth connection, AUX IN, CD PLAYER IN, MIC IN and
instrument input. The powerful built-in DSP disposes 5 Presets that successfully adapt the speaker for the most
distinct and demanding applications (Live performance, Music Reproduction, Speech or Stage Monitor). It is
also possible to extend the system’s frequency range adding an external subwoofer and changing the preset
accordingly. Thanks to the multi-position feature, this speaker can cover many dierent applications.
