!
4. Connect the Mixer Module to the speakers

your speaker output jacks. Take the speaker cables and connect them from these
jacks to the jacks on the back of the speakers.
5. Connecting the AC Power Cable
Connect the female end of the power cable to the mixer and plug the male end
into the wall socket or extension cord. Turn the “ MASTER VOLUME “ control to
“0”. Now turn the power switch to the “on”position. You should see the POWER
indicator illuminated. At this point you are ready to bring in an audio signal and
hear the signal amplified by the system.

Getting Acquainted with the SPA-VIAGGIO Powered Mixer
This part of the SPA-VIAGGIO system houses the mixing board and power
amplifier. Here you will connect all of the microphones, musical instruments,
external sound sources (like Mp3 or CD players), headphones in addition to any
recording devices or additional speakers like a personal monitor, subwoofer or
“Front of House” feed.
The Basics
While it looks complicated, the mixing board is actually a very simple device.
A “mixing board”brings audio sources “in” (through the inputs) and routes the
signal to the outputs (MASTER VOLUME/SPEAKER OUTPUTS or MONITOR
OUTPUTS), The mixer controls enable the user to affect the tone and/or volume
in addition to routing the signal and adding effects to an individual input source.
The abundance of knobs is simply due to the repetitive nature of the design.
Letʼus look at the “inputs”first:
AUDIO INPUTS
The SPA-VIAGGIO has 8 inputs: 4 mono inputs and 2 stereo inputs. All of the
inputs will route to the speakers and to the MONITOR OUTPUT SECTION
MONO MIC/LINE INPUTS
Moving from left to right there are 4 identical input strips comprised of (from top to
bottom) a “PEAK LED”, a combination input connector, MIC/LINE selector, Treble
and Bass controls, an effects send and a channel volume control.

!
STEREO INPUTS
The SPA-VIAGGIO has two stereo inputs and these are used primarily for MP3
or CD players but could be used with the stereo output of an electronic keyboard,
instrument pre-amp of processor, or an electronic drum machine. The inputs
labeled “STEREO IN 5 /6” offer the option of using 1/4” phone plugs or RCA
plugs and this channel has a volume control. The input labeled “ STEREO IN 7/8”
is a 3.5mm stereo input of the type typically found on personal music players.
This input does not have a volume control as personal music players usually
have a volume control built into the unit. This is the best way to control the
volume of the unit plugged into this input.

!
STEREO OUTPUTS
Weʼve brought signals into the mixer now. Letʼs send them somewhere.
The SPA-VIAGGIO has 3 stereo pairs of outputs:
1.LEFT/RIGHT Speaker Outputs
These outputs should only be connected to the
SPA-VIAGGIO speakers and under no condition
should they be connected to the input of another
electronic device. These outputs carry power and
as such could damage the electronic device.
Only use “ unshielded “ speaker cables (like
the cables provided with your SPA-VIAGGIO).
2. MONITOR OUTPUTS
These outputs allow you to route the stereo mixer signal
to another destination like a recording device, personal
monitor, subwoofer or to another PA system (Front of
House). Depending on the input connectors of the
destination device, you can use either the ¼” phone
jacks or the RCA jacks.
MONITOR OUTPUT VOLUME -This controls the overall
volume of the MONITOR OUTPUT.
3.HEADPHONE OUTPUTS
This output allows the user to listen to the main output
the SPA-VIAGGIO mixer. Headphones used will require
a 3.5 mm stereo plug.
MASTER VOLUME
Your SPA-VIAGGIO is equipped with a Master Volume
that controls the overall output volume of the system.

!
DIGITAL EFFECTS
Your SPA-VIAGGIO is equipped with digital multi-effects designed to enhance
instruments or vocals. There are sixteen effects available on the SPA-VIAGGIO.
An effect on a vocal or instrument can create a very natural sense of space for
the listener and is great fun for the performer. Used correctly, effects enhance
a voice or instrument in a very musical way, but when used to excess, they can
make the music or voice less intelligible and unnatural.

!
6. Connecting a microphone:
a. Turn the “MASTER VOLUME”to “0”.
b. Connect the microphone to the microphone cable
and insert the male end into a free channel input
of the SPA-VIAGGIO mixer.
c. Push in the MIC/LINE switch -this increases the
sensitivity of the input and is set for use with a dynamic
microphone.
d.Set the “TREBLE”and the “BASS” control to “0”
(IN THE CENTER AT THE DETENT)
e. Set the “ REVERB” TO “0”.
f. While talking loudly into the microphone bring up the
channel volume until the red “PEAK” indicator blinks quickly.
If the indicator does not come on at all and you have turned
the channel volume to “10”, then reduce the channel volume
to “7” and move on to the next step. If the “PEAK”indicator
comes on at 3 for instance, then press the MIC/LINE switch
returning it to the up position and increase the channel
volume control.
g. Slowly bring up the “MASTER VOLUME”
to the desired loudness.
If you are using a condenser microphone
engage the “PHANTOM POWER” button.
7. Connecting a keyboard, drum machine, cd or mp3 player to the 5/6 stereo input:
a. Turn down both the volume control on channel 5/6 and the “ MASTER
VOLUME “ control.
b. Connect the output of the device to the “5/6”input of the SPA-VIAGGIO mixer
using the appropriate Input jacks. (1/4” phone or RCA depending on the output
of the device you are trying to connect)
c. If there is an output gain or volume control on the device, set that to 70%.
This level is a starting point but should get you enough output to drive the input
of the SPA-VIAGGIO.

!
d. Bring up the “5/6 VOLUME CONTROL” to the 5-7 range.
e. Slowly bring up the “MASTER VOLUME” to the desired loudness.
8. Connecting a personal music player to the 7/8 stereo input:
a. Turn down the “MASTER VOLUME” control.
b. Connect the output of the device to the “7/8” input of the SPA-VIAGGIO mixer
using a 3.5mm stereo “mini plug”.
c. If there is an output gain or volume control on the device, set that to 70%.
This level is a starting point but should get you enough output to drive the input
of the SPA-VIAGGIO.
d. Slowly bring up the “MASTER VOLUME” to the desired loudness.
9. Using the monitor outputs:
You can connect these outputs to a variety of devices like a recording device,
a powered subwoofer, additional power amplifiers and speakers or even
another mixer.
a. Turn the “MONITOR OUTPUT VOLUME” control to “1”.
b. Connect the MONITOR OUTPUT (EITHER THE 1/4” PHONE OR RCA) to
the inputs of the device into which you want to plug the mixer.
c. Set the input level of the external device according to the manufacturer
instructions.
d. Slowly bring up the “MONITOR OUTPUT VOLUME” to the desired loudness.
10. Storing the SPA-VIAGGIO
a.Turn down the “MASTER VOLUME” control.
b. Turn the mixer unit off.
c. Disconnect the AC power cable from the mixer and then unplug the cable
from the wall outlet.
d. Disconnect the speaker cables from the speakers and then disconnect the
speaker cable from the mixer.
e. Disconnect all other inputs (microphones, instruments of music players) from
the mixer .
f. Return the cables to the storage module and secure the latch.

!
g. To return the storage module or mixer module back to their attached position
on the rear of the speakers simply reverse the process described in the Getting
Started portion of the manual.
