RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•To reduce risk of electric shock, never open the unit. There are no user serviceable
parts, refer service to an authorized Rockville service center.
• Do not expose this unit to any kind of moisture.
• Please ensure that the unit is situated in a properly ventilated area.
• Make sure the unit is placed on a level and stable surface.

Mounting the Speaker
1. Unpack the speakers from their packaging. Check for any visible damage.
2. Carefully lift the speaker above the stand, lining up the extension pole with the
mounting hole at the bottom of the speaker (fig. h). This step may require a second
person for assistance.
Stands
1. Remove the stands from their packaging and examine them to ensure that they are in
proper working order.
2. Loosen up the adjustment knob (fig. a) and spread the legs to the desired width
(fig. b). We recommend spreading the legs to the point that the support bars are par-
allel with the floor. Re-tighten the leg adjustment knob so that the legs are securely
positioned (fig. c). Do not overtighten.
3. Loosen the stand extension by loosening the locking knob (fig. d). Lift the exten-
sion to the desired height (fig. e). Now insert the safety detent pin (fig. f). Make sure
the pin goes all the way through the extension pole (g. g). If you retighten the locking
knob, do not overtighten it.

3. Once the speaker is mounted on the stand, secure it by tightening the locking
knob located behind the pole opening at the bottom the speaker (fig. i).
Connecting the Passive Speaker
To connect the passive speaker to the active unit, use the included ¼˝ to ¼˝ cable. Con-
nect one end of the cable to the ¼˝ port on the active unit marked Speaker Out (g. j). Now
connect the other end to the ¼˝ port on the passive unit marked Speaker In (g. k). Make
sure that the power to the active unit is turned off before you connect the passive unit.

Your Power Gig is set up to produce the full spectrum of sound from its woofer and
tweeter horn combination. The lower frequencies seek out the oor of the room that they
are playing in and travel along the oor and walls. The tweeter horn is more directional.
Hence when setting up your system its more important to make sure that the tweeter
horns are not blocked by any furniture and are located / aimed at ear level to the listening
audience. Woofer aiming is not as critical as explained previously due to the nature of the
woofer sounds able to travel through various paths even when blocked.
It is therefore recommended that when setting up your system you set up your speakers
on provided stands so that the tweeter sounds will radiate above the listening crowd. This
will guarantee optimum sound dispersion and achieve clear vocal sound reproduction.
The placement of your microphone is critical in avoiding feedback through your Power
Gig system. Never set up your microphone in front of the speaker. Always set up your mi-
crophone behind the speaker. When approaching the speaker to make any adjustments,
we recommend approaching the speaker from the rear and not walking directly towards
the front of the speaker.
Setting Up Your Power Gig Professional Sound System
How To Avoid Irritating Feedback

Your Power Gig features two ultra-low noise Mic/Line inputs via XLR & ¼˝ TRS
stereo jacks.
1. Make sure the Power Gig is in OFF position.
2. Plug your microphone into either the XLR or ¼˝ jack (never use both at once).
APPLICATION USES
Microphone Presentations
There is really only one volume control on the Power Gig unit, that is the knob marked
VOLUME.
The Mic 1/Mic 2 Level and Line/MP3 Level controls are matching devices to match the
preamp voltages of items such as microphones and guitars or other musical instruments
with your Power Gig unit. Never turn these up to maximum unless indicated by the set
up instructions. With a properly matched signal your system will produce less distortion,
be subject to less feedback, and will produce louder, cleaner and clearer sound. Use the
Volume control once all inputs are matched properly.
Your Power Gig features a CLIP LED indicator to help you set and match your compo-
nents. Please be sure to read all set up instructions so your Power Gig sounds its best.

3. Keep Volume at 0 position.
4. Turn Mic Level to 0 position.
5. Switch on the Power Gig unit.
6. Slowly turn Mic Level clockwise until you achieve appropriate volume setting. This
is determined by the CLIP LED indicator light. Proper function is achieved when the
CLIP indicator lights up at peak levels, it should never be in constant on position.
7. The above adjustment matched the microphone preamp to the input volume of the
Power Gig unit.
8. Now turn up the Volume to necessary loudness by rotating clockwise.
Always stand behind the Power Gig when making your microphone adjustments to avoid
feedback distortion.
You can choose to hook up two microphones to your Power Gig in the following manner.
Set up microphone #1 as instructed above. Using same set up instructions, insert mi-
crophone #2 into the ultra-low noise Mic 2 input which features its own separate Level
control. Use this Level control to increase the microphone level and balance the inputs
between the two microphones before attempting to adjust the Volume.

LINE IN
You can use the Line Input function when you wish to hook up an additional stereo signal
source without the use of a mixer console. CD players, DVD music players, MP3 players,
etc can be plugged directly in to the RCA inputs labeled LINE INPUT.
To connect a CD, DVD music player or MP3 player.
1. Turn your Power Gig unit to OFF position.
2. Turn Master Volume to 0 position.
3. Turn Level control to 0 position.
4. Connect the music source unit to the RCA inputs marked Line In.
5. Use the push button (located above the RCA inputs) to select Line input.
6. Switch ON your Power Gig unit.
7. Slowly turn the Level Volume control clockwise until the CLIP LED indicator begins
to blink, then turn it down slightly. This indicates the maximum input voltage gain is
matched and set properly.
8. Turn Master Volume up to achieve proper volume.

The RCA jacks marked Line Out allow for daisy chaining of signals from any active
speaker to another. Simply connect an RCA to RCA cable from the Line Output of the
speaker to the Line Input of the new speaker (Rockville RPG15 featured). As long as the
new speaker has a line output as well, you can continue to add speakers indenitely.
