The Speaker Connectors can accommodate up to 10AWG speaker cables as well
as most of popular plugs (banana etc.). A 10AWG cable is recommended for longer
connections (longer than 20 meters / 66 feet). For shorter lengths you can use 12/14 or
18 AWG cables. It is recommended to leave about 150 cm (5 feet) of extra cable at the
amplier end to facilitate positioning and installation of the amplier. Do not use staples,
nails or other metal objects to secure the cables. You will get the best sound quality and
least amount of hum by keeping the cables away from other electrical wires and cables.
Pay attention to connecting the polarity of the amplier correctly with the speakers in each
speaker group (speakers should be connected RED + with RED + amplier connector,
BLACK – with BLACK – amplier connector).
Before connecting make sure that your amplier is turned o󰀨. Please refer to your
speaker instruction manual for more information.

The Input Selector works independently to the Microphone Switch – you can broadcast
only music or only voice from microphone or mix both.
Microphone Switch (MIC ON / MIC OFF):
For each ZONE you can broadcast voice from the microphone (not supplied with this

The Mic Switch is in the top position OFF - the voice from the microphone is not
transmitted to the ZONE (the Microphone Status LED Indicator will not be illuminated).
The Mic Switch is in the down position ON - the voice from the microphone is
transmitted to the ZONE (the Microphone Status LED Indicator will be illuminated).
If the audio input is selected (check “Input Selector” for more details) and the
background music is playing, the voice from the microphone and the music will be
mixed. Make sure to adjust Microphone Level and Echo Regulators to control the
microphone functions.
Note! The voice from the microphone will be simultaneously broadcasted to all
ZONES. If you do not want it to be transmitted to a certain ZONE make sure to switch
o󰀨 the MIC Switch for the ZONE.

Operation
Operations available only simultaneously for all ZONES (changes will a󰀨ect all ZONES):
