Controls

1. INST/MIC IN combo jacks accept input signals over XLR balanced, ¼” TRS balanced, or ¼” TS unbalanced connectors. Connecting the wireless microphone system disables the MIC 1 and MIC 2 combination jacks.
2. MIC 1/ MIC 2 LEVEL knobs control the gain for either the INST/MIC IN input jacks or wireless microphones 1 and 2.
3. RCA inputs accept line-level inputs from auxiliary sources. The auxiliary signal will be merged with the Bluetooth signal.
4. BT/AUX LEVEL knob controls the gain for Bluetooth and the auxiliary signal from the RCA inputs.
5. WIRELESS SYSTEM USB input accepts the optional Behringer wireless microphone receiver.
6. LEDs indicate wireless microphone signal input. Connecting the wireless microphone system disables the MIC 1 and MIC 2 combination jacks.
7. BATTERY LEVEL LEDs monitor the overall amount of remaining battery life when the unit is unplugged from an outlet.
8. POWER SOURCE jack accepts the included IEC cable.
9. The POWER switch turns the unit off and on.
10. The BASS knob adjusts low frequencies in the overall sound.
11. TREBLE knob adjusts high frequencies in the overall sound.
12. MAIN LEVEL knob controls the overall volume.
13. WOOFER reproduces low frequencies.
14. TWEETER reproduces high frequencies.
15. LUGGAGE TROLLEY (MPA40BT-PRO only) extends and retracts for easy transport and storage.
16. BATTERY COMPARTMENT contains a rechargeable battery. The battery shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
17. INPUT PANEL manages levels and routing for microphone, instrument, and Bluetooth signals.
18. WHEELS (MPA40BT-PRO only) allow convenient rolling transport.
    NOTE: The connection range between the speaker and Bluetooth streaming device may decrease if Bluetooth streaming and wireless microphones are used simultaneously.

Getting started

1. Set up the MPA40BT-PRO/MPA40BT in your chosen listening location.

2. Connect the MPA40BT-PRO/MPA40BT to a power outlet by using the included IEC power cable.

3. Turn all LEVEL knobs and the MAIN LEVEL knob down to the full counter-clockwise setting.

4. Connect all analog microphones, instruments, and/or RCA cables to their respective input jacks.

5. Power up the MPA40BT-PRO/MPA40BT by pressing the POWER switch to the “on” position.

6. If you are using Behringer wireless microphones, plug the wireless dongle into the WIRELESS SYSTEM USB input.
   The WIRELESS SYSTEM LEDs will light up when the wireless microphones become active.

7. To pair a Bluetooth device with the MPA40BT-PRO/MPA40BT, follow these steps:

   • Press and hold the BT/AUX PAIRING BUTTON until the LED flashes quickly.
   • Open Bluetooth in your mobile phone, MP3 player or other Bluetooth equipment to pair and connect.
   • In your Bluetooth device, enter the PIN code: 0000 (Bluetooth version 2.0 and above will not require a PIN code).
   • When the LED lights solid, you can begin playing music from your Bluetooth device.

8. While playing music from your Bluetooth device, turn the BT/AUX LEVEL knob to about the 50% position.

9. While playing music from your Bluetooth device, turn the BT/AUX LEVEL knob to about the 50% position.

10. While speaking into each microphone, slowly rotate the MIC 1 and/or MIC 2
    LEVEL knobs clockwise until you find a clean, clear sound. If a microphone signal sounds distorted, rotate the LEVEL knob slowly counterclockwise until the sound cleans up.

11. If you have an instrument plugged into the MIC 1 or MIC 2 channels, play the instrument and slowly rotate that
    channel’s LEVEL knob clockwise until you find an acceptable level.

12. Wenn ein Instrument oder eine andere externe Klangquelle an die iPOD/AUX
    Cinch-Buchsen angeschlossen ist, stellen Sie die gewünschte Lautstärke am
    Instrument oder der Klangquelle ein.

13. Stimmen Sie die Lautstärken der
    Audiokanäle mit deren LEVEL-Regler aufeinander ab, bis Sie eine gute Mischung gefunden haben.

14. Stellen Sie die BÄSSE- und TREBLE-Regler ein, falls der Gesamtklang mehr Bässe oder Höhen benötigt.

15. Stellen Sie zum Abschluss den MAIN LEVEL-Regler ein.

Charging the battery

The MPA40BT-PRO/MPA40BT ships with a rechargeable, internal battery that can power
continuous audio playback for up to 8 hours. We recommend that you fully charge the
battery before your first use.
To charge the battery for the first time, follow this procedure:

1. Turn off the MPA40BT-PRO/MPA40BT by pressing the POWER switch.
2. Connect the unit to an AC power outlet.
3. Keep the unit plugged in to AC power until the BATTERY STATUS 100% LED indicates the battery has been fully charged.

NOTE: The MPA40BT-PRO/MPA40BT uses a sealed lead-acid gel battery, and the battery will slowly self-discharge when the MPA40BT-PRO/MPA40BT is not in use. Before storing the MPA40BT-PRO/MPA40BT for an extended period, fully charge the battery before storage, and then charge again every 3 months.
NOTE: The lead-acid battery needs to be recharged every 3 months for continued operation. Please replace the battery if the MPA40BT-PRO/MPA40BT operating time noticeably decreases, even after a full charge cycle.
