FEATURES
A. Power Input: Use the included power cable to connect this input to a power
outlet.
B. Power Switch: Use this switch to power the loudspeaker on or off.
C. Fuse: If the unit’s fuse is broken, lift this tab to replace the fuse.
Replace it with a fuse with an appropriate rating (printed under the unit’s
power cable input). Using a fuse with an incorrect rating can damage the unit
and/or fuse.
D. Input 1/2: Use a standard XLR cable or 1/4” (6.35 mm) TRS cable (not
included) to connect your audio source to these inputs.
E. Volume 1/2: Turn each knob to adjust the volume of each input. Set these to
the minimum (counterclockwise) position before turning on the power.
F. Mix Out: Use a standard XLR cable (not included) to connect this output to
the input of another loudspeaker (i.e., another STRIKE AMP 8).
G. HPF: If the speaker sounds too muddy or boomy due to a large stage or
rehearsal room, press this button to reduce the speaker’s low-end frequencies.
This will simulate the speaker being put on a standard speaker stand.
H. Ground: Engage (depress) this switch to reduce hum or noise.
I. Bluetooth Pair: Press and release this button to put the speaker into
Bluetooth Pairing mode. To disconnect a paired Bluetooth device, press and
release this button again.
J. Bluetooth LED: This blue LED will flash when the speaker is in pairing
mode, lit solid when a device is paired, and OFF when a Bluetooth device is
not paired.
K. Bluetooth Volume: Turn to adjust the Bluetooth signal’s volume.
L. Sig/Limit: This LED lights up green when an audio signal is sent to the
loudspeaker—it flashes at lower levels and lights solidly at higher levels.
The LED lights up red when output limit/protection is active—if the LED is lit
red continuously, reduce the volume of your audio source.
