Full range speaker men

MENUS|
---|---
MODE menu| This menu is used to select one of the prese
| -NORMAL : The equalisation is flat (default value). -LIVE : The bass is attenuated and the treble is raised to obtain a “concert” sound. -CLUB : The bass is slightly raised and the treble slightly attenuated to obtain a warmer sound. -SPEECH : The bass is very attenuated, the midrange is slightly raised and the treble is not modified to obtain a more intelligible sound by the human ear.
LOCATION menu| This menu allows you to choose the behavior of the speaker according to how it is positioned.
| -POLE : Choose this option when using the speaker on a stand (default setting). -MONITOR : Choose this option when using the speaker as a stage return. -BRACKET : Choose this option when the speaker is mounted on a wall mount.
TREBLE menu
| This menu is used to adjust the treble level. Values range from -10dB to +10dB.
BASS menu|
| This menu is used to adjust the bass level. Values range from -10dB to +10dB.
LED menu| This menu is used to adjust the behaviour of the LED on the front panel.
| OFF : The LED never lights up. ON : LED is constantly lit in blue. LIMIT : The LED lights blue and red when the limiter is switched on.
HPF menu|
| This menu allows you to set the cutoff frequency of the high pass filter. OFF is the default value.
RESET menu|
| This menu is used to reset all settings to the original values.
INFO menu|
| This menu is used to display the internal software version

Myos08A/10A/12A/15A input setting

1. Connect the loudspeaker to the mains via IEC plug / 2-pin + earth. Leave the power switch (2) in the OFF position.
2. Set all LEVEL potentiometers (7, 8 or 9) to the -∞ position.
3. Connect your microphone or line level source or both. The line input can be accessed via a 3-pin 6.35 mm (TRS) jack, RCA LINE IN or AUX input. To acces to the microphone preamplifier, use the XRL plug
4. Switch on the line level source.
5. Switch on the ATOM speaker.
6. While you are speaking in a microphone or an audio signal is being played from your line-level source, turn the input level knob (s) until the display shows “Limit Signal”, then turn it down just below that level.
7. If you use a microphone, be careful not to stand too close to the speaker as this may result in feedback.
   If you do not use both inputs, it is recommended that you leave the level knob on the unused input at the -∞ position to prevent noise from entering the signal circuit.

Different positions of the LOCATION menu

Dimensions

Horn rotation (Myos008A and Myos10A)

The horn of the Myos08A and Myos10A can be rotated by 90° to maintain dispersion.
This option is very useful when the speaker is used as a stage monitor or in a horizontal installation.

Horn in its original position when the speaker is used vertically
Horn turned 90° when the speaker is placed horizontally.

Connectors

Balanced

The COMBO sockets are symetrical. This type of connectors allows you to transmit a signal over long runs of cables without altering its quality, that is why we recommend to use symetrical signals.
The figures opposite describe the balanced wiring of the XLR or Jack 6.35 plugs.

Unbalanced

If you do not have any source with symetrical signal, please do not use cables longer than 1.5 m. The figures opposite describe the unbalanced wiring of the XLR or Jack 6.35 plugs.
