5. To disconnect, double-press the Link button on the “primary” speaker.

To link two Total PA Premier speakers using cables:

1. With the Power Switch on each speaker turned to the off position, connect each speaker to a power outlet.
2. Plug an XLR cable into the Mix Out located on the rear panel of one Total PA Premier speaker. This speaker (the primary) is the one to which you will connect audio sources such as a Bluetooth device, microphone, or USB flash drive.
3. Plug the other end of the XLR cable into the XLR Input on the rear panel of your second Total PA Premier speaker. This second speaker will receive the audio from any devices connected to the first speaker (the primary).
4. Power on both speakers using their Power Switches.
5. Connect your audio sources to the first speaker (the primary).
6. Make sure that each speaker’s Master Volume control is set to the same position.
