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 stands structural integrity by trying to make the stand taller.
• Do not attempt to suspend more than one loudspeaker on a stand designed for a single loud speaker.
• Using two hands lift the loudspeaker.
• Insert the tripod through the hole on the bottom of the loudspeaker.

Floor monitor

ZL-12M and ZL-15M amplifier panel

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. 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 in MIC/LINE input.
   CAUTION: Using the MIC setting for other purposes may introduce distortion. The line input the selector must be in the “Line” position. The LINE setting should be used for most other audio inputs.

3. INPUT LEVEL KNOB
   Sets the sensitivity of input A and B channel 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 USB flash or Bluetooth input.

5. MASTER KNOB
   To adjusts 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 adjusts 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 player. Produces a line-level output signal that is Post Gain. Any adjustments made to the gain of these A/B channel and MP3 affects this output signal. It works as 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.

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)
    This LIMIT LED illuminates when the output power is in overload. The red clip LED indicates that limiting has taken place to protect and avoid damage to the amplifier or loud-speaker. Continuously over driving the system will cause distortion and may lead to premature failure to the speaker system. If the red limit led is on when both LEVEL controls are at minimum, your loudspeaker requires service by qualified professional.
