Setting Up Your Screen
1. Open the storage case and remove the screen frame. To expand the frame, you will
need two people. One person on each side of the frame should grasp the 2 plastic joints
on the edge in the center and walk backward pulling the frame open Velcro side up.
2. With the screen flat on the ground, snap down each plastic joint into place.
3. Attach the black screen to the frame by aligning their Velcro edges together. Unfold
the screen in sections with two people, one on each side of the screen. Next, attach the
white stretch screen on top of the black. Pull tight to ensure a smooth viewing surface!
4. While the screen is flat on the ground, estimate about 5 feet out to the side from each
bottom corner. Insert 1 twist stake about 5 feet in front of that point and another about 5
feet behind. Repeat on the opposite side.
5. Hook each of the 4 tie-down strap hooks into the D-Rings at the top corners of the
screen.
6. With 2 people on each side, walk the screen up onto its base until it’s fully raised. Hook
the opposite ends of the tie down straps into the ground twist stakes. Pull the ends of the
tie down straps to tighten. Ta-Da! The screen is up!

Setting Up Your Speakers and Stands
1. Open the 4 tripod stands. Tighten the lower knob to secure the legs in place. Be sure to
spread the tripod legs out wide to ensure they don’t tip! Raise the top pole to the desired
height, insert the pin, and tighten the knob to secure it. Set 2 stands on level ground at
each side of the screen.
2. Attach the active speaker to a tripod stand. There is a hole in the bottom of each
speaker that will mount on top of the tripod. Secure it in place by tightening the knob on
the back of the speaker. If the speaker does not fit on the tripod stand easily, make sure
the knob is fully loosened. Repeat this for the passive speaker on the same side.
3. Plug the power cord into the back of the active speaker. Plug in an Extension cord to
the end of the speaker power cord. Now, plug the ¼” metal connector end of the
speaker cable into the output that is labeled “Speaker Out”. Run the other end of the
cable to the passive speaker and push and twist the blue plastic connector to lock into
place in the port labeled “Input”.

4. Take 1 RCA Split Cable (Red for the
right-side pair of speakers or white for
the left-side pair of speakers) Plug it
into the appropriate “Line In” port on
the back of the active speaker (Red
for the right-side pair of speakers or
white for the left-side pair of
speakers).
5. Repeat this for the second set of
speakers on the other side of the
screen and space out the passive
speakers from the active speakers.
6. Run the ends of both extension
cords back to your projection station
about 15-20 feet in the front center of
the screen and plug them into the
outlet strip. Speakers are ready to go!

Setting Up Your Projector Station
1. Set one of the rolling media storage cases about 15-20 feet centered in front of the
screen. You may have to adjust the distance slightly depending on the type of media you
are projecting. You can also use the projector’s zoom, focus, and keystone controls to fine
tune the projection.
2. Place the projector on the case and plug in its power cord. Connect the Amazon Fire
Stick (or other media source) to one of the HDMI Inputs of the back of the projector.
3. Connect the white/left RCA cable from the left active speaker into the mixer under the
white/left input port labeled “Tape Out”. Do the same for the red/right RCA cable from
the right active speaker. Push down the small grey button labeled “To Main”. This enables
you to control the volume with the dial labeled “Main Mix” at the very bottom lower right-
hand corner.
4. Now, plug the 3.5mm end of the patch cable into the “Audio Out” port on the
projector. Plug the other Red and White ends into the corresponding ports on the mixer
labeled “Tape In”.
5. Plug the microphone cord into the bottom of the microphone and the other end into
the “Mic Input” port on the upper left-hand corner of the mixer. You can control the
volume separately by adjusting the dial labeled “Level 1” in the bottom left-hand corner.
6. Plug in the projector, mixer, and Amazon Fire Stick power cords to the multi outlet power
strip and power up! You’ll turn on the active speakers, projector, and Amazon Fire Stick!
The mixer will power on automatically if it’s plugged in.

Run Into Trouble?
Read These Super Helpful Hints!
Volume Controls
There are a lot of ways to control the volume on your system! We’ve found this is the best
place to start! Use your mixer as your main volume control. We don’t typically recommend
using the projector or speaker remotes. Use the mixer as your maser control!
1. Make sure the volume is all the way up on the projector! The sound leaves the projector,
goes into the mixer, and comes out of the speakers. So, if you don’t have sound, it’s
probably down all the way on the projector.
2. Set your speaker volume to half on the back of the active speakers to start. You can
always adjust it later but it’s best to start at half, so you aren’t startled by the sound!
3. Set the mixer volume at a quarter or less to start with. You can always crank it up!
Speaker Mode Settings
The speakers have 2 “Modes”, “Bluetooth” and “FM Radio”. Keep them set to “Bluetooth”.
Even though the speakers are hard-wired that is the correct setting. The speakers know to
bypass searching for a Bluetooth signal if you don’t have any devices paired to it. It will
default to the “Line In” automatically.
Amazon Fire Stick
We recommend you set Up your Fire Stick beforehand inside on a TV. Log Into all your
apps and connect to your Wi-Fi so it’s ready to go when you want to stream content!
Using Other Media Sources
You can use any media that connects with and HDMI cord! Try out video game systems,
laptops, phones, cable, anything!
