SPECIFIC ATIONS
Califone® wireless PA systems deliver professional quality sound in a variety of presentation settings. Since they’re simple to set up and operate, you won’t need an audio expert. Whether it’s a large meeting of parents, an all- school spirit rally or a guest lecturer transmitting wireless audio from a laptop, you’ll have clear audio so everyone can listen and participate!
Operation
Battery
- Charge the battery for at least 10 hours before the first use of the PA919SD, PA919, or the PA919PS. Simply plug the power cord into an AC outlet and charging begins automatically. The charging indicator will flash until fully charged, then it will stay green. The unit can be used while it is plugged in for charging.
- There are two indicators above the main power switch. When the unit is turned on, the one on the left will light “red” when the battery has a low charge. The one on the right will glow “green” if the battery is fully charged or if operating on A/C power.
- It is recommended that the battery be recharged after several hours of usage, rather than stored with a low battery. This will prolong battery life. Storing more than 30 days without recharging will deteriorate the battery.
Digital Master Volume Control
When the main power switch is turned on, the Digital Master Volume Control is at the lowest level to prevent accidental damage to the amplifier or internal speakers. The volume can be controlled in two ways; using the “Up” “Down” buttons on the mixer panel or using the RC-300 infrared remote control. The remote sensor must be used in front of the speaker as the sensor is behind the speaker grille.
Recommended Set-up Procedure
Ideally the master volume should be at maximum volume before the wireless receiver and microphone volumes are adjusted to the desired loudness. Since there are always at least two (2) volume controls to contend with, it is suggested that prior to turning the power on the UHF receiver volume controls be set at “10 o’clock”. Also set the microphone volume controls at “10 o’clock”. Turn on the main power switch and use either a wireless microphone or cabled microphone to adjust the master volume.
Digital Audio Player/Recorder & CD Player
The main power switch does not control the Digital Audio Player/Recorder and CD player. A separate power switch is combined with the MP3/CD volume control to limit battery drain when the Digital Audio Player/Recorder or CD are not being used.
Wired Microphones
There are two (2) independent combination XLR/1/4” jacks for using microphones with cables. Each jack has a volume control which effects the loudness of both wired and wireless microphones. Also each has a “Voice/Music” switch. On “music” program the sound is full fidelity, while on “voice” the sound is tailored to give maximum projection while limiting battery drain.
Operation continued
Line In Insert both RCA plugs into the RCA jacks when using a stereo input. The left and right channels are combined so no program material is lost. If the source is monaural, either RCA jack can be used. The Line In volume control is used to increase or decrease the level of the input signal.
Line Out
The two RCA jacks are used to connect to the input of another piece of
equipment such as a tape recorder, mixer or another amplified speaker. The
outputs are monaural and volume level will depend on the volume of the source.
For example, the tape or CD player level is controlled by the tape/CD volume
control. Line out is independent of the Master Volume Control.
Tone Controls
The separate base and treble controls provide a wide range of adjustment
for increasing or decreasing either the bass or treble from “flat” frequency
response. The center or “12 o’clock” position is flat.
Speaker Mute Switch
Engaging this switch will cut off the sound of all speakers, internal and
external, except as explained in the section under “PA919PS operation”.
Voice Priority
This feature is used for voice override of the music program when using a
microphone. The “ducking” circuit attenuates the music when a person speaks
into the microphone. After a 3 second delay in the speech, the music returns
to the previous level.
Wireless Operation
Wireless UHF Receivers
-
Wireless receiver “A” is preset at the factory for channel 4 and receiver “B” is set on channel 6. There are three (3) LEDs on the receiver; power (green), RF reception (red) and Audio reception (amber).
-
There are also LEDs on the front of the speaker above the grille making it easy to see if the microphone and receiver are working properly. A red LED indicates RF (radio frequency) from the mic, while an amber LED indicates audio.
-
NOTE: There are two wireless 900MHz mic receivers on the PA919SD and PA919 (and 1 on the PA919PS).
-
These frequencies are not compatible with any PA916 series PAs, M-316 or Q-316 microphones.
Wireless Transmitter
The PowerPro PA919SD incorporates a 16 channel UHF transmitter with its own power switch for wireless transmission to another PA919 or the Powered Companion Speaker PA919PS. The transmitter is preset at the factory to channel 13. It is recommended that the user not randomly change this setting. If using the transmitter function change wireless receiver “A” from channel 1 to any other channel except channel 13 to prevent the transmitter from blocking the receiver.
Microphone Lockout
- Two wireless microphones can be used at the same time, but separate channels (frequencies) must be used. For instance, if using receiver “A” on channel 4, two microphone beltpack transmitters cannot be used at the same time. The first transmitter turned on will dominate and lock out the other. The second microphone should be used with receiver “B” on a different frequency which will allow two persons to talk at the same time.
- Turn the transmitter power switch to OFF when not being used to minimize battery drain.
Feedback
Feedback is a shrill screeching sound produced by the speaker system when a microphone is being used too close to the front of the speaker. The microphone picks up the sound of the speaker system and it becomes reamplified. It is a self-sustaining loop which can damage the system if allowed to continue, not to mention the annoyance caused to persons nearby. Always stand 4 to 6 feet from the speaker to minimize the opportunity for feedback from the speaker system.

Powered Companion Speaker PA919PS
The PA919PS works with the PA919 series and M319 and Q319 microphones. It is
not compatible with the PA916 series, M-316 and Q-316 microphone.
The Powered Companion PA has the same amplifier, power supply and speaker
compliment as the full featured PA919 or PA919SD. It does not have the mixer
panel because it can be controlled by the PowerPro PA919SD and PA919.
With the integral 16-channel selectable wireless UHF receiver, it can function
as a stand alone PA speaker when using a Q319 Handheld microphone or the M319
Beltpack transmitter with a LM-316, CM-316 or HBM-316 microphone. Although
there are 5 LEDs on the front of the PA919PS only 3 lights function on this
unit because there is only one receiver. The red LED indicates RF, the amber
LED is for audio, and the green LED indicates power On.
Full Wireless Operation
As the transmitter on the PA919 and PA919SD is preset on channel 13, the
receiver of the PA919PS is also set on 13. Any audio from the PA919SD can be
transmitted to the PA919PS without wiring. There is no limit on the number of
PA919PS speakers that can be used with the PA919 within a range of 150 feet.
Audio Line Buss
When linking one or two PA919PS to the PowerPro PA919SD via audio line, the
PSC-50 XLR cable is connected to Audio Line Out XLR connector on the PA919SD.
The other end is connected to Line In XLR on the Powered Companion Speaker.
The Master Volume Control on the Audio Line panel of the master will adjust
the PowerPro PA919SD as well as all the Powered or Passive Companion Speakers,
however the loudness needs to be adjusted via the Master Volume Control on the
PA919PS as well.
Note: The mute switch on the PA919SD will silence all speakers connected to it
by cable. However in the full wireless mode using the transmitter of the
PowerPro the mute will have no effect.
