SKYROCK-1000873-Active-Speaker-System-PRODUCT

Active Speaker System

These instructions are intended for users with basic knowledge of audio technology.
Please read these instructions care-fully prior to operation and keep them for later reference.

Applications

The active speaker system SKYROCK is suited for a variety of sound applications. With a rechargeable 12 V battery (lead gel battery) that is available separately, mains-independent operation is also possible (up to 40 hours). The speaker system features a microphone input, an input for a (stereo) audio source with a line signal level, and an option for wireless connection to a Bluetooth audio source. The Bluetooth TWS function (True Wireless Stereo) can be used to pair two SKYROCK speakers to create a stereo audio system with each speaker system reproducing one stereo channel.
A USB port is provided to supply mobile devices with power or to charge these devices. The screws provided can be used to attach the bottle opener (supplied with the speaker) to the side of the speaker cabinet, for example.

Connections

Microphone

Connect a microphone with XLR or 6.3 mm plug to the jack MIC INPUT (1). To disconnect an XLR plug later, press the PUSH lever.

An audio source with line level

Connect an audio source with line signal level, e. g. CD/ MP3 player, to the 3.5 mm jack AUX INPUT (2). The jack is designed for connecting stereo audio sources. The stereo channels are mixed internally to create a mono signal.

Power supply

For mains operation or to charge the battery, connect the IEC connector (12) to a mains socket using the mains cable provided.

The power supply of mobile devices

The port USB CHARGE (3) can be used to supply mobile devices with power. The port supplies a maximum current of 1 A.

Inserting the Battery

As an alternative to mains operation, the speaker system can be operated via a 12 V lead gel battery with a capacity of 18 Ah (e. g. WP18-12SHR). The battery compartment of-fers a space of 181 mm × 167 mm × 76 mm (W × H × D).

Important: Disconnect the speaker system from the mains and set the POWER switch (13) to the position OFF.
Unscrew the cover plate of the battery com-partment on the rear of the speaker system.
Connect the two cables to the battery contacts. Make sure to observe the correct polarity: red cable =, black cable =
Insert the battery into the compartment and close the cover.
Fully charge the battery before using it for the first time (☞ chapter 6).

Charging the Battery

The LEDs 1/3 …1/1 (11) indicate the charg-ing status of the battery during operation: 1/3 ⇒ 2/3 ⇒ 1/1 (full)
To charge the battery, connect the speaker sys-tem to the mains and set the POWER switch (13) to the position CHARGE. While the bat-tery is being charged, the LED
CHARGE (11) lights up. When charging is completed, the LED CHARGE will go out. Then set the switch to the position OFF.
Note: Always fully charge the battery before storing the device and remember to recharge the battery regularly when storing the device for a longer period of time.

Operation

Before switching on the device for the first time, set all volume controls (6, 8, 9) to “0” first to prevent any unexpectedly high volume levels when switching on.

Switch on the unit with the POWER switch (13) (position ON). After a short while, the LED ON (10) and the LEDs (11) indicating the current battery charging status will light up.
Turn up the control MAIN LEVEL (9) to about one third for the time being.
Use the control MIC LEVEL (6) to adjust the volume for a microphone connected. Only turn up the control so far that the sound is not distorted.
The control MIC REVERB (7) can be used to add a reverberation effect to the micro-phone signal.
Use the control AUX / BT LEVEL (8) to adjust the volume for an audio source connected to the jack AUX INPUT (2). Only turn up the control so far that the sound is not distorted. This control is also used to adjust the vol-ume of a Bluetooth audio source (☞ chap-ter 7.1).
Use the control MAIN LEVEL (9) to adjust the total volume desired. The LEDs LOW and HIGH (10) indicate the output level. If the LED LIMIT (10) lights up, the level is so high that the automatic level limiter has been activated to protect the speaker. If the LED LIMIT lights up frequently, reduce the volume accordingly with the control MAIN LEVEL so that the sound is not distorted.
- CAUTION: Never adjust a very high vol-ume. Permanent high volumes may damage your hearing!
After use, set the POWER switch back to the position OFF.

Bluetooth receiver

The integrated Bluetooth receiver allows wire-less connection to a Bluetooth audio source (e. g. smartphone or tablet computer).

Switch on the speaker system and keep the button BT (4) pressed until the LED above the button starts flashing.
Activate the Bluetooth function on the Bluetooth source. On the list of available devices, the speaker system will appear as “SKYROCK”.
Pair the source with “SKYROCK” (refer to the instructions of the Bluetooth source if necessary). The two devices will then be connected automatically and the LED BT will light permanently. It is now possible to start the audio reproduction at the source.
Use the control AUX / BT LEVEL (8) to adjust the volume for the Bluetooth replay. This volume also depends on the setting of the Bluetooth source.

After switching the speaker system off and on again, it will automatically reconnect to the Bluetooth source most recently connected.
To disconnect, keep the button BT pressed until the LED starts flashing again. It is now possible to connect the speaker system to another Blue-tooth source. The LED will go out automatically after a while.

TWS function

The TWS function can be used to distribute the stereo signal of a Bluetooth audio source to two SKYROCK speakers. To pair two speaker systems, keep the button TWS (5) pressed until the LED above the button starts flashing. After successful pairing, the LED will light perma-nently.
In this case, only one of the speaker sys-tems can be connected to a Bluetooth source. This speaker system will reproduce the left stereo channel, the other speaker system the right stereo channel. To unpair, keep the button TWS on one of the speaker systems pressed until the LED goes out.

Resetting BT and TWS

When the two buttons BT (4) and TWS (5) are pressed simultaneously for more than 4 sec-onds, the speaker system will disconnect any existing Bluetooth and TWS connections and delete the pairing data of the previous connec-tions. The LEDs BT and TWS will go out.
