Powering up
Your new Busker-10 portable PA unit may arrive with you with the internal battery charged.
Before connecting to the mains, turn down all volume controls and switch the unit on (31) and
see if the power LED lights (30). If not, you will need to charge the battery before use away
from mains power.
Connect the Busker-10 unit to the mains using the appropriate IEC power lead supplied (29).
When not in use but connected to the mains, if the POWER switch is in the OFF position, the
internal battery will be re-charged from the mains supply, indicated by a CHARGING LED (20)
which lights when charging.
Note: it is recommended to store the PA unit at an ambient temperature and not with the
battery fully discharged.
You may otherwise opt to connect the DC input at the rear (21) to an external 12-15Vdc
supply (e.g car battery) or use the internal battery if charged.
When powered up, BASS and TREBLE controls (16, 15) should remain pointing vertically
(i.e. 12-o-clock position). Turn up the AUX/LINE VOLUME control (14) part way and switch
TALKOVER (25) off.
Your Busker-10 unit should now be ready to operate.
VHF Wireless Microphone
Extend the VHF antenna (22) at the rear of the unit. Insert batteries into the handheld
microphone by carefully unscrewing the base and connecting the “+” and “-”terminals of the
batteries to the corresponding contacts inside the mic body, taking care to observe the correct
polarity. Turn the VHF MIC control (2) up part way for checking.
Switch on the wireless mic and the signal indicator LED (1) on the front of the unit should light
as a result. If the LED on the transmitter lights dimly, change the battery. Gradually increase
the VHF VOL control, testing the microphone for output through the speaker.
Take care not to incur “feedback” (howling or screeching sound through the speaker) by
keeping the microphone a sensible distance from the speaker and pointing away from the
speaker so that it doesn’t
hear
the speaker output.
Turning the ECHO control (18) clockwise adds an echo function for singing or special effects.
The BASS or TREBLE tone of the RCA and Guitar inputs can be cut by turning the relevant
control anti-clockwise or boosted by turning clockwise.
When not in use, switch the wireless microphones off and remove batteries if not being used
for long periods.
