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.

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.

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.
How To Avoid Irritating Feedback
There is really only one volume control on the Power Gig unit, that is the knob marked
MASTER LEVEL.
The Mic in / Line in Level control is a matching device 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 instructions below. With a
properly matched signal your system will produce less distortion, be subject to less feed-
back, and will produce louder, cleaner and clearer sound. Use the Master Volume control
once all inputs are matched properly. Your Power Gig features a CLIP LED indicator to
help you set and match your components. Please be sure to read all set up instructions
so your Power Gig sounds its best.

MIC LEVEL
3. Keep Master Level 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 Master Level 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
microphone #2 into the ultra-low noise Line 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 Master Level.

4. Connect the music source unit to the RCA inputs marked Line Input.
5. Switch ON your Power Gig unit.
6. Slowly turn the Level 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.
7. Turn Master Level up to achieve proper volume.

While guitarists and bassists have their own ampliers to ensure that the volume pro-
duced by their instrument matches that of the other sound sources on stage, keyboards
and synthesizers are a dierent story. They usually have no built-in speakers which
means they need an external sound source. The Power Gig unit allows for the connec-
tion and mixing of two keyboards. More than two keyboards can be connected using a
sub mixer to mix down the signals and send them to the Power Gig unit via the sub mixer
output connectors.
Be sure to have your Power Gig units installed by a qualied installation professional.
Ensure that the unit is properly grounded during and after installation. Not doing so may
result in electrostatic discharge which may cause damage your equipment.

SPEAKER OUT
The XLR / 1/4˝ TRS combo jack marked Line Output allows for daisy chaining of signals
from any active speaker to another. Simply attach an XLR or 1/4˝ cable from the Line Out-
put of the speaker to the Line Input of the new speaker. As long as the new speaker has a
line output as well, you can continue to add speakers indenitely.
