The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of "dangerous"
voltage within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to humans. Users
should exhibit extra safety when this symbol appears in this instruction manual and follow all precautions as they are stated.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in this manual.
1- Read these instructions thoroughly before using this item.
2- Keep these instructions for future reference.
3- Heed all warnings.
4- Follow all instructions.
5- WARNING: To prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture. Do not store or operate this
product near any liquids.
6- Clean only with a dry cloth.
7- Do not store or operate this product near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatuses
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
8- Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding plug has two blades and a round grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong is provided for your safety. If
the provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.
9- Protect the all wires connected to this unit from being walked on or pinched, particularly plugs and the point where they exit from
the unit. When removing the cord from the power outlet, remove it by holding the plug not by pulling the cord.
10- Unplug the unit during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
11- When wiring this unit and all other equipment used in connection to this unit make sure that all of your equipment is turned OFF.
12- Once installation and wiring is complete power on all your equipment with the volume and level controls turned DOWN. Once all
the equipment is ON slowly raise the volume or level controls to their proper positions.
13- When grounding this unit, be sure to do so correctly, so as not to defeat the built-in grounding in this unit.
14- Before placing, installing, rigging, or suspending any product, inspect all hardware, suspension, cabinets, transducers, brackets
and associated equipment for damage. Any missing, corroded, deformed, or non-load rated component could significantly reduce
the strength of the installation, placement or array. Any such condition severely reduces the safety of the installation and should be
immediately corrected. Use only hardware which is rated for the loading conditions of the installation and any possible short-term,
unexpected overloading. Never exceed the rating of the hardware or equipment.
15- Consult a licensed, Professional Engineer regarding physical equipment installation. Ensure that all local, state and national
regulations regarding the safety and operation of equipment are understood and adhered to.
16- Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such
as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Power Cord Connection
The PW1610PKG is a powered speaker which means it has the built in amplifier. The PW1610PKG’s speakon
output allows you to connect a passive speaker directly to the PW1610PKG and receive its power from there.
To connect the power cord to the powered speaker simply plug female side of the power cord into the power cord
input which is on the rear of the unit. Then plug the male side of the power cord to an electric outlet. The AC power
cords supplied purposefully have 2 blades and one grounding prong.
If your outlet is not equipped to handle this type of plug, do not attempt to forcefully plug this AC power cord into the
outlet, and do not alter the plug so that it can fit in the outlet. The only course of action you can take is to find
another outlet which is properly equipped to handle a grounded plug or have an electrician upgrade your electrical
outlet. Be sure that the plug is well connected so that it does not disconnect in the middle of usage. If at any point in
time the supplied AC power cord is punctured or damaged replace it with a new power cord from a local electrician.
NOTE:
-ONLY PLUG IN THE AC POWER CORD WHILE THE UNIT’S POWER IS OFF AND THE VOLUME IS
TURNED DOWN.
-TURNING ON THE UNIT WITH THE VOLUME TURNED UP MAY CAUSE THE UNIT OR ANY
SPEAKERS CONNECTED TO IT TO BE DAMAGED.
-ALWAYS TURN DOWN THE VOLUME PRIOR TO TURNING OFF THE UNIT.

Audio Input Connections
LINE RCA (Red and White) & 1/8” Inputs
Connecting a Signal Source (DVD / MIXER / MP3)
The speaker has RCA & 1/8” (AUX) input jacks on the rear of the unit which is designed to receive the signal
directly from your CD, mixer, MP3 player or any of your other audio sources. To ensure that you have correctly
connected your CD player (other sound sources) to the unit, make sure that the CD player has a cable coming from
its output and that this cable is plugged into the RCA / 1/8” Input on the rear of the speaker.
The Input selector (18) should be set to the AUX / LINE IN when using the RCA or 1/8” inputs.
When the Line Input selector is set to AUX / LINE IN the LCD Screen will NOT light up. This is normal.
Only the power indicator will light up.
NOTE: BE SURE NOT TO CONNECT AN AMPLIFIER OR ANY AMPLIFIER SIGNAL INTO THE RCA INPUT
JACK. AS THIS COULD DAMAGE THE SPEAKER. NO OTHER AMPLIFIER IS NEEDED TO POWER YOUR
SIGNAL IN ADDITION TO THE SPEAKER. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE AMPLIFIER IN
THE SIGNAL PATH.

Connecting the PW1610PKG to a Passive Speaker Using the Speakon Output
The PW1610PKG comes with a powered speakon output which will provide the power to produce sound from both
the powered and passive speakers. Using the speakon speaker cable connect the Speaker OUTPUT on the
powered speaker to the Input on the passive speaker.
NOTE: When making this connection the powered speaker should be powered OFF and the volume knobs
should be turned down. After the connection is completed the powered speaker can be turned on. Once the
audio begins to play the volume can slowly be raised.
After inserting the speakon cable turn the connector to the right so the lock it into place. The metal portion of the
cable should be in the center position when the cable is properly in place.
Once the speakon cable has been connected to the PW1610PKG speaker, follow the same steps listed above and
connect the cable to the INPUT on the passive speaker.
PW1610PKG
On the rear of the powered speaker insert the speakon
cable into the speaker output. The speakon connector has
2 cut-outs, a wide one and a narrow one. These must
match the cutouts on the speakon input.
Once the speakon cable has been installed, turn the
cable clockwise to lock it into place. Once locked into
place the metal portion of the cable will be in the
center position.
The image above shows the speakon cable properly installed
into the speakon connector.
As shown above, the metal portion of the connector has been
turned and is now in the center position.

P-11
Disconnecting the Speakon Cable
When the speakon cable is properly installed it will be locked into place.
To disconnect the speakon cable from the speakers pull on the metal portion of the connector to unlock the
connector, and while pulling this metal piece turn the connector to left (counter-clockwise).
Connecting the RCA MIX Output
The RCA MIX output is designed to pass through the input signals to another powered speaker, amplifier or
recording device.
This a passive signal, therefore it must be connected to an amplifier so that it can properly reproduce sound.
Connect the RCA MIX OUTPUT to the line input on another powered speaker, amplifier or recording device. This
will allow you to transfer the audio to another device.
NOTE: WHEN MAKING THESE CONNECTIONS THE POWER OF THE SPEAKER AND THE SIGNAL SOURCE
SHOULD ALL BE IN THE OFF POSITION WITH THE VOLUME LEVELS TURNED DOWN. ONCE THE UNITS
ARE ALL POWERED ON, SLOWLY INCREASE THE VOLUME TO AVOID DAMAGING ANY OF YOUR
EQUIPMENT.
PW1610PKG
To disconnect the speaker cable, while pulling on the metal tab
turn the connector to the left (counter-clockwise) and pull out
the connector.
The MIX OUTPUT will pass through a passive signal of all
the inputs (MIC1, MIC2, AUX, LINE, USB, SD & Bluetooth)
to another device.
