How to Avoid irritating Feedback

The placement of your microphone is critical! in avoiding feedback through your Titan Portable Array. 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 adjust­ ments, approach the speaker from the rear and do not walk directly toward the front of the speaker.

Setting Level Controls

It is best practice to set your input volume (gains) in this manner:

1. Unplug all inputs except for the one you wish to set the gain for. In this instance, the RCA line inputs.
2. Set the line-level input device volume (smartphone, tablet, MP3 player, etc.) to 60%.
3. Set the MASTER VOLUME to 75%.
4. Slowly turn up the AUX volume control. As soon as the CLIP indicator LEO goes on or you hear any distortion, turn AUX volume down one or two notches.

PLEASE NOTE
Because mixers feature two volume controls {channel and master), when con­ necting one via the XLR line-in port, the procedure is slightly different. The TPA MASTER  VOLUME should be set to 50% and the CHANNEL 1 and 2 volume controls should be set to 50%. Set the mixer master volume to 50% and make the adjustments in step 4  on the mixer channel level control. lf after making these adjustments the signal still isn’t strong enough, you can additionally boost the signal by turning up the CHANNEL 1  and 2 volume controls.

When adjusting the Mic Volume control, 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 neces­ sarily a clipping issue.

Microphone Presentations

Your TPA features 2 balanced microphone inputs accessible via combo XLR/¼”TRS inputs.

1. Switch OFF your TPA.
2. Plug your microphone into either the CHANNEL 1 or CHANNEL 2 XLR input. Make sure to set the MIC/LINE selector to MIC.
3. Switch ON your TPA.
4. Refer to the “Setting Level Controls” section of this manual for instructions on how to

properly adjust the input volume (gains). Always stand behind the TPA when making your microphone adjustments to avoid feedback distortion.

Line Input
You can connect an additional stereo signal source (such as CD players, DVD music play­ ers, MP3 players, guitar, etc.) without the use of a mixer console. Simply plug the device directly into one of the combo XLR/¼”TRS inputs.

1. Switch OFF your TPA.
2. Connect the input source to either the channel 1 or channel 2 combo XLR/¼” TRS input using an XLR or ¼” TRS cable. Make sure the MIC/LINE selector switch is set to UNE. To connect a guitar, use channel 2 and make sure to press the HI-Z button.
3. Switch ON your TPA.
4. Refer to the “Setting Level Controls” section of this manual for instructions on how to properly adjust the input volume (gains).

Wireless Speaker Linking

The TPA features true wireless stereo (TWS) Bluetooth linking. This means you can link 2 units together to play in stereo wirelessly.

1. Switch ON your TPA and make sure the BT / AUX selector is set to BT.
2. Press and hold the BT/TWS button on one of the units for 2 seconds. The BT indicator LEO will flash intermittently. Follow the Bluetooth pairing procedures below. This will be the primary unit.
3. Once the primary unit is paired to your BT device, press the BT/TWS button for 1 second. The BT indicator LEO will continue flashing and the primary TPA will automatically pair with the secondary TPA unit. Once paired, the LEO will remain lit.
4. AII playback functions are controlled by your BT device. You can set the gain or volume on the units independently.
5. To disconnect, press the BT/TWS button on either one of the units.

Bluetooth Pairing
To connect your iPod, iPhone, MP3 player, Android phone, or any other Bluetooth-capable device, follow the steps listed below.

1. Switch ON your TPA and make sure the BT / AUX selector is set to BT.
2. Turn on the Bluetooth feature on your device and ensure that it is discoverable.
3. Press and hold the BT/TWS button for 2 seconds. The BT indicator LEO will flash intermittently.
4. Look for “TITAN PORTABLE ARRAY” on the list of available devices and select it. The TPA will automatically connect to your device. Once connected, the BT  indicator LEO will remain lit.
5. When the unit is in BT mode and the previously paired device is nearby, it will connect to it automatically. To disconnect press and hold the BT/TWS button for 2 seconds. if you have problems pairing your device, please check the troubleshooting section on page 9.

AUX Input

You can connect a stereo signal source (such as a CD player, DVD music player, MP3 player, etc.) into either the RCA inputs or the 3.5mm jack.

1. Switch OFF your TPA.
2. Connect the music source to the RCA inputs or the 3.5mm jack.
3. Switch ON your TPA and make sure the BT/AUX selector is set to AUX.
4. Refer to the “Setting Level Controls” section of this manual for instructions on how to properly adjust the input volume (gains).

Line Out Balanced Connection

The MONITOR OUT XLR port allows you to output the amplified signal to a subwoofer, another powered speaker, and an amp or mixer. The output should be connected to the input of the externa! a 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.

4. If people or equipment tend to step on and roll over or stretch your power cable, it can get damaged. Always try a second cable to test for shorts in the original cable. Dispose of damaged power cables immediately.
No sound/ distorted sound| 1. Check that all appropriate cables are plugged incorrectly.
2. Check the Levels settings. Refer to the “Setting Level Controls” section on page 4 of this manual for instructions on how to properly adjust the input level controls.
3. If you are using the MIC/LINE section inputs, make sure the MIC/LINE button is set to the correct input source.
4. Be sure your microphone is on and plugged into the correct input.
5. If using a mixing console, make sure fader and balance are set to center positions and levels are increased. Make sure the mixer is plugged into the correct input.
6. If channel levels settings are maxed out, turn down the appropriate one, as you may be overdriving the unit.
7. Check volume and level settings on all input sources.
Buzzing sound| Make sure you are using a proper cable. For ‘/1 cables, there are three types: instrument, TS (unbalanced), and TRS (balanced). Check the requirements of the connected gear and make sure you are using the appropriate cable.
Mic feedback| Point the mics away from the speaker. Make sure the mics are behind the speaker, not in front of it.
Poor mic sound| Make sure you are using the XLR part of the Mic/Line port
Bluetooth/TWS pairing fails| 1. Check to see that both devices are turned on and that your Bluetooth device is discoverable.
2. Turn both devices off and then on.
3. Make sure the BT/AUX selector is set to BT.
4. Make sure that the Bluetooth device is within 5 feet of the unit.
5. Move both devices away from other Bluetooth devices, microwaves, wireless routers, and other electronics.
6. Make sure that the unit is not paired to a previously paired device or to another speaker.
Please refer to page 4 for Bluetooth and TWS pairing procedures.
