IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• To reduce risk of electric shock, never open the unit. There are no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to an authorized Rockville service center.
• Do not expose this unit to any kind of moisture.
• Please ensure that the unit is situated in a properly ventilated area.
• Make sure the unit is placed on a level and stable surface.

How to Avoid Irritating Feedback
The placement of your microphone is critical in avoiding feedback through your TITAN 12 speaker. Never set up your microphone in front of the speaker. Always set up your microphone behind the speaker. When approaching the speaker to make any adjust­ments, approach the speaker from the rear and do not walk directly towards the front of the speaker.

Setting Level Controls
It is best practice to set your input level controls in this manner:

1. Unplug all inputs except for the one you wish to set the level for. In this instance, it is the CH1 Mic/Line TRS and ¼” combo input. Make sure the Mic/Line button is set to Line (the “up” position).
2. Set the line level input device volume (smartphone, tablet, MP3 player, etc.) at 65% – 75%.
3. Slowly turn up the level on the selected input (in this case, the CH1 level). As soon as the clip indicator LED goes on or you hear any distortion, turn it down one or two notches.

After you set the levels on all input devices, you can readjust the TITAN 12 levels as necessary.

PLEASE NOTE

Because mixers feature two volume controls (channel and master), when con­necting one via the XLR Line In port, the procedure is slightly different. The TITAN 12 Channel Level control should be set to 50%. Set the mixer master volume to 50% and make the adjustments in Step 3 on the mixer channel level control. If after making these adjustments the signal still isn’t strong enough, you can ad­ditionally boost the signal by turning up the Mic/Line Level control.
When adjusting the CH1/CH2 Level controls, you must speak into the micro­phone and adjust the level control as needed. This is because adjustments to the mic input are a matter of mic volume in relation to the music volume and not necessarily a clipping issue.

APPLICATION USES

Microphone Presentations
Your TITAN 12 features ultra-low noise Mic/Line inputs via combo XLR/1/i’ TRS stereo jacks.

1. Make sure the Power switch is in the OFF position.
2. Plug your microphone into either the XLR or¼” jack input of the combo jack. Make sure the Mic/Line switch is set to Mic (the “down” position).
3. Switch on the TITAN 12.
4. Refer to the “Setting Level Controls” section of this manual for instructions on how to properly adjust the Mic Level controls.

If using a second microphone, connect the microphone to the CH2 Mic/Line Input and follow the procedure detailed above. Always stand behind the TITAN 12 when making your microphone adjustments to avoid feedback.

Line Input
You can use the Mic/Line In combo XLR/¼” inputs to connect a mixer or to connect an additional stereo signal source such as a smartphone, tablet, MP3 player, CD player, etc.

1. Make sure the Power switch is in the OFF position.
2. Connect the mixer to the XLR input or a line level signal source to the¼” input. Make sure the Mic/Line switch is set to Line (the “up” position).
3. Switch on the TITAN 12 unit.
4. Refer to the “Setting Level Controls” section of this manual for instructions on how to properly adjust the input level controls.

Thru/Mix Connection
The THRU/MIX XLR port allows you to output the amplifier signal to a subwoofer, another powered speaker, or an amp or mixer that will, in turn, power other speakers. You can choose to send the entire mix or just the output of CH2 by pressing the selector button located next to the port. The THRU/MIX output should be connected to the input of the
external device using an XLR to XLR or XLR to ¼” TRS cable. We recommend you use
high-quality cables such as Rockville’s RCXFM20E-B XLR to XLR cable or the RCXMB20-
B XLR to ¼” TRS cable.

Wireless Speaker Linking

The TITAN 12 features true wireless stereo (TWS) Bluetooth linking. This means you can purchase two of these speakers and link them together to play in stereo wirelessly.

1. Make sure both TITAN 12 units’ power switches are in the OFF position.
2. Go to your phone’s Bluetooth interface and make sure that it is not connected to either TITAN 12 unit (2a). If your phone is connected, choose to forget or remove the TITAN 12 unit(s) from the list of available devices (2b).
3. Turn both speakers ON (3a). Press the PAIRING button on either one of the units (3b). The PAIRING LED will flash slowly. Repeat this step for the other unit.
4. Press the TWS button on both units for 1 second. The TWS LED on both units will flash quickly. Once the units are successfully paired, the LEDs will stop flashing and remain lit.
5. Press the PAIRING button on one of the units for 1 second to activate Bluetooth pair­ing mode. The PAIRING LED will flash quickly.
6. Go to your phone’s Bluetooth interface and select “TITAN 12” from the list of available devices. If pairing is successful, the PAIRING LED will stop flashing and remain lit. This unit will be the Primary and will control all functions for both units.
7. To disconnect the speakers, press the TWS button on either unit for 1 second.

Bluetooth

To connect any Bluetooth-capable device, follow the steps listed below.

1. Make sure the TITAN 12 unit’s power switch is in the ON position.
2. Turn on the Bluetooth feature on your device and ensure that it is discoverable.
3. Press the PAIRING button for 3 seconds to activate Bluetooth-pairing mode. The PAIR­ING LED will flash slowly.
4. Press the PAIRING button for 1 second. The PAIRING LED will flash quickly.
5. Go to your device’s Bluetooth interface and select “TITAN 12” from the list of availa­ble devices. If pairing is successful, the PAIRING LED will stop flashing and remain lit.
6. Use the BT LEVEL control to adjust the volume of input from the paired Bluetooth device.
7. To end the Bluetooth connection, follow your device’s procedure for disconnecting from a paired device.

Functions

1. CH1 /CH2 Input Level Controls: used to control the volume of the Mic/Line inputs. When the THRU/MIX switch is set to MIX OUT, they control the mix output.

2. BT Level Control: adjusts the volume of Bluetooth input.

3. EQ Control: EQ settings are designed around the purpose of tuning the speaker for the environment in which you are using it. They are variations of the Normal speaker set­ting with a few minor variations to boost certain frequencies:
   Normal – “flat” speaker setting which will suit most normal listening environments. Indoor – subtle low-mid frequency and high-mid boost frequency.
   Outdoor – subtle high-frequency boost.
   Speech – subtle high-pass frequency and mid-frequency boost.

4. Bluetooth Pairing and TWS Link Buttons: These buttons will allow for usage of the Bluetooth and TWS functions. For detailed directions on how to use either one of these functions, please refer to pages 6 and 7 of this manual.

5. Mic/Line Switch: This switch corresponds to the Mic/Line inputs. When connecting a microphone, make sure that the specific Line/Mic button is in the “down” position. When connecting a line level device, make sure that the specific button is in the “up” position.

6. Power LED Indicator: will illuminate when the unit is receiving power.
   Signal LED Indicator: will illuminate when the unit is receiving a signal from the CH1, CH2, or Bluetooth inputs.
   Clip LED Indicator: will illuminate when there is a power overload. It indicates that limiting has taken place to protect and avoid damage to the amplifier or speaker. Con­tinuously over driving the system will cause distortion and may cause damage to the amplifier and/or the speaker.

7. Combo XLR/¼”Ports: accept XLR-type connectors and balanced/unbalanced
   1/,i”TRS/TS plugs. When you use an unbalanced ¼”TS plug, the line input automatically turns the ring into ground.

8. THAU/MIX Out XLR Port: For detailed directions on how to use this port, please refer to page 5 of this manual.

9. CH2 TH RU/MIX Switch: used to determine the signal output of the TH RU/MIX port. Please refer to page 5 of this manual for further details.

10. 250V/6.3A User-Serviceable Fuse

11. AC In Power Connector: input PowerCON connector.
