Tripod and floor monitor operation

Mounting a Loudspeaker on a Tripod Stand
CAUTION!
Two-person lift and placement are
recommended for the heavier loudspeakers. Single-person lift and placement of heavier loudspeakers may result in injury.
To mount a loudspeaker on a tripod stand:

  • Place the tripod stand on a level stable surface.
  • Fully extend the legs of the tripod stand.
  • Do not compromise the tripod stand’s structural integrity by trying to make them stand taller.
  • Do not attempt to suspend more than one loudspeaker on a stand designed for a single loudspeaker.
  • Using two hands lift the loudspeaker.
  • Insert the tripod through the hole on the bottom of the loudspeaker.

Floor monitor

To set up a loudspeaker as a floor monitor:

  • Place the loudspeaker on a level stable surface.
  • Safely route cables to prevent injury to performers, production crew, and audience members.

ZL-X15BT amplifier CONTROL panel

The amplifier has a combination of controls and connectors to ensure the most versatile loudspeaker system.

  1. LINE/MIC INPUT
    These balanced inputs accept a standard XLR (female) connector and a 1/4 “ TRS phone jack connector. A range of signals from microphones, audio mixing consoles, and electronic musical instruments may be connected here. The sensitivity of this input is controlled by the LINE/MIC SWITCH. This input does not provide phantom power.

  2. LINE/MIC SWITCH
    The selector must be in the “MIC” position for MIC inputs. The MIC setting should only be used if a microphone is connected directly to the MIC/LINE input.
    CAUTION:   sing the MIC setting for other purposes may introduce distortion. For other sources, the selector must be in the “line” position, this should be used for most other audio inputs.

  3. INPUT LEVEL KNOB
    Sets the sensitivity of input A and B channels which controls the signal level sent to the amplifier and the mix out.

  4. MP3 LEVEL KNOB
    Turn this knob to adjust the input volume of the USB flash or Bluetooth input.

  5. MASTER KNOB
    To adjust the master volume of all inputs (the Mix out will not be controlled by this knob.)

  6. EQ KNOB(TREBLE MID & BASS
    Use these knobs to adjust the 3 different frequencies of the speaker.
    TREBLE: Increases or decrease the high frequency for MIC / LINE / MP3 sources at a range between -10dB to +10dB.
    MID: Increases or decrease the middle frequency for MIC / LINE / MP3 sources at a range between -10dB to +10dB.
    BASS: Increases or decrease the Low frequency for MIC / LINE / MP3 sources at a range between -10dB to +10dB.

  7. MIX OUT
    Output XLR is a mix of channels A/B and MP3 players. Produces a line-level output signal that is Post Gain. Any adjustments made to the gain of this A/B channel and MP3 affect this output signal. It works as a signal output to link the other active speaker.

  8. AC INPUT
    Standard IEC AC input connector. 230V/5A AC fuse.

  9. POWER SWITCH
    Will illuminate when power is applied to the unit and the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position.

  10. VOLTAGE SELECTOR
    Allows user selection of different local voltage ratings 115V/60Hz – 230V/50Hz.

  11. POWER LED (BLUE)
    When power is applied to the unit and the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position this LED will be illuminated.

  12. LIMITER-LED (RED)
    The red clip LED indicates that limiting has taken place to protect and avoid damage to the amplifier or loudspeaker. Continuously overdriving the system will cause distortion and may lead to premature failure of the speaker system. If the red limit led is on when both LEVEL controls are at a minimum, your loudspeaker requires service by a qualified professional. MEDIA PLAYER
