Cautions

The switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).

Rear terminal section

  1. AUX IN terminal A 3.5 mm stereo mini plug-type unbalanced input terminal.

  2. POWER MANAGMENT switch ) Turns the auto power off function on/off.
    WARNING Power consumption increases when POWER MANAGEMENT switch is turned off.

  4. MIC ECHO knob Adjusts the echo applied to the microphone sound.

  5. USB terminal Supplies power to USB devices. 5 V/Max. 2.1 A

  6. LINE OUT An XLR output terminal (balanced). Outputs the currently playing signal. Adjustment of the volume and switching of the sound mode is not possible. Be careful not to connect the power cables of other products. And do not connect devices that can supply phantom power to this terminal.

  7. MIC input terminal (1/4″ TRS jack) Only compatible with phone plugs (1/4″/6.35 mm). When connecting or disconnecting a microphone, rotate the MIC LEVEL knob to the MIN (minimum) side before connecting/ disconnecting.

  8. MIC LEVEL knob Adjusts the sound level input from the MIC input terminal. The level of audio amplification (gain) applied to the sound input to the microphone varies significantly depending on the microphone. Adjust the sound level to suit the microphone you’re using.

  9. LINE IN 1, LINE IN 2 input Compatible with both XLR terminal (balanced) and 1/4″ TRS (balanced, phono) plugs.
    The XLR terminal layout is: No. 1 = Ground, No. 2 = Hot, No. 3 = Cold.

Built-in rechargeable battery

To prevent degradation of the built-in rechargeable battery, be sure to charge the battery once every six months, even if you don’t use the product for a long time.

Installation methods

Playback sound from the speaker can easily be affected by subtle differences in installation conditions. To enjoy optimum performance, please give careful consideration to the installation location before installing the speaker.

  • To prevent the product from tipping over, be sure to install it on a solid, level area.

Cautions

When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 15 cm at top, 15 cm at rear, and 15 cm at each side).
Failing to leave space between the speaker and the walls and other devices may cause heat to build up inside the speaker which could degrade performance or cause a malfunction.

Carrying the speaker

  • When transporting or installing the speaker, use the handles on the top and side.
  • Before moving the speaker, check that all cables have been disconnected.

Telescopic handle, casters

The telescopic handle and the casters make it easier to transport the speaker.

  • Press the handle telescoping button in the center of the telescopic handle while pulling out the handle.
  • Slide the handle directly out slowly until you hear a click. Check that the handle is fixed in place before you use it.
  • When stowing the telescopic handle, press the button in the center of the telescopic handle and stow the handle.

Cautions

  • When raising or lowering the telescopic handle, take care to avoid getting your fingers caught in the pipe joints or between the handle and speaker.
  • The telescopic handle is for use when transporting the speaker on the casters. Do not use the telescopic handle to lift the speaker. Doing so may result in damage. When lifting the speaker, be sure to use the product handles on the top and side of the speaker.
  • Do not touch the handle telescoping button when transporting the speaker. The handle may telescope unintentionally, which could cause an accident.
  • Take due care with regard to people and objects in the vicinity when moving the speaker on the casters. The speaker may tip over or cause accidents if handled without care.
  • Take care to ensure the speaker doesn’t tip over when you release the telescopic handle after moving the speaker on the casters.
  • Take care not to allow sand or dust to adhere to, or fabric scraps to get caught in, the caster axles as this may cause the casters to malfunction.
  • Do not touch the casters immediately after using them. Doing so may result in burns from the frictional heat caused when the casters are moving.
  • Attempting to use casters on stairs or in places with uneven surfaces is dangerous. Doing so may damage the speaker or cause it to tip over. Be sure to hold the product handles on the top and side of the speaker and carry it instead.

Pole mount

The speaker features a 35 mm diameter pole mounting socket on its base. When using a speaker pole (stand), check the following cautions and install it safely.

Cautions

  • Installation must be completed by a professional technician. Improper installation can result in equipment damage and even injury.
  • When using a speaker pole, install in a stable location.
  • When lifting the speaker, give sufficient consideration to safety as you work. Perform the installation with two or more people if necessary.
  • Use a 35 mm diameter speaker pole (stand). When mounting the speaker on a speaker pole, be sure not to drop it onto the pole or the floor.
  • Be sure to check the load capacity and attachment method for the speaker pole (stand) you’re using.
  • Ensure there is no danger of the pole tipping over.
  • Do not push the speaker after installation and do not apply a strong load to its sides. Doing so may cause the speaker to tip over and injure someone or damage the speaker.
  • To prevent people from tripping and tipping the speaker over, keep cables out of the way by bundling them with tape or cable ties when installing the speaker.

Waterproof performance

  • The speaker has a waterproof rating equivalent to IPX4 as specified in IEC 60529.
  • To ensure proper waterproof performance, the speaker must be in an upright position with the protective covers on the rear and sides closed securely.
  • Check the following cautions and be sure to use the speaker correctly.

Cautions

  • The speaker is not completely waterproof. Do not deliberately drop it in water or use it in water.
  • The speaker can’t provide proper waterproof performance if installed horizontally. Ifinstalled in this configuration, do not leave the speaker in surroundings where it maybecome wet. Water may penetrate inside the product and cause a malfunction.
  • The speaker terminals (AC IN, USB charging, audio inputs, and MIC input) andaccessories are not waterproof. Do not expose any of the terminals to water when usingthem.
  • The transmitter is not waterproof. Do not expose it to water. When using the speaker withthe transmitter stored inside the speaker, securely close the protective covers on thespeaker.
  • Do not connect any cables while the product is wet. Dry the connectors before connectingto AC power.
