Stands

Remove the stands from their packaging and examine them to ensure that they are in proper working order.
Loosen up the adjustment knob (fig. a) and spread the legs to the desired width (fig. b). We recommend spreading the legs to the point that the support bars are parallel with the floor. Re-tighten the leg adjustment knob so that the legs are securely positioned (fig. c). Do not over tighten.

Unpack the speakers from their packaging. Check for any visible damage.
Carefully lift the speaker above the stand, lining up the extension pole with the mounting hole at the bottom of the speaker {fig. h). This step may require a second person for assistance.
Once the speaker is mounted on the stand, secure it by tightening the locking knob located behind the pole opening at the bottom the speaker (fig. i).

Connecting the Passive Speaker

To connect the passive speaker to the active unit, use the included 1µ- to Y.r cable. Connect one end of the cable to the 1µ- port on the active unit marked Speaker Out (fig. D- Now connect the other end to the 1µ- port on the passive unit marked Speaker In (fig. k). Make sure that the power to the active unit is turned off before you connect the passive unit.

Setting Up Your Power Gig Professional Sound System

Your Power Gig is set up to produce the full spectrum of sound from its woofer and tweeter horn combination. The lower frequencies seek out the floor of the room that they are playing in and travel along the floor and walls. The tweeter horn is more directional. Hence when setting up your system its more important to make sure that the tweeter horns are not blocked by any furniture and are located I aimed at ear level to the listening audience. Woofer aiming is not as critical as explained previously due to the nature of the woofer sounds able to travel through various paths even when blocked.

It is therefore recommended that when setting up your system you set up your speakers on provided stands so that the tweeter sounds will radiate above the listening crowd. This will guarantee optimum sound dispersion and achieve clear vocal sound reproduction.

How To Avoid Irritating Feedback

The placement of your microphone is critical in avoiding feedback through your Power Gig system. 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, we recommend approaching the speaker from the rear and not walking directly towards the front of the speaker.

FIG 6 How To Avoid Irritating Feedback

Setting Level Controls

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

Unplug all inputs except for the one you wish to set the gain for. In this instance, the Line In RCA inputs.
Set the line level input device volume (smart phone, tablet, MP3 player, etc.) to 60%.
Set the RPG122K Master Level to 75%.
Slowly turn up the level on the selected input (in this case, the Line/MP3 leveO . As soon as the clip indicator LED goes on or you hear any distortion – turn it down one or two notches.

APPLICATION USES

Microphone Presentations

Your Power Gig features two ultra-low noise Mic/Line inputs via XLR & %’TRS stereo jacks.

Make sure the Power Gig is in OFF position.
Plug your microphone into either the XLR or %’ jack (never use both at once).
Keep Volume at O position.
Turn Mic Level to O position.
Switch on the Power Gig unit.
Slowly turn Mic Level clockwise until you achieve appropriate volume setting. This is determined by the CLIP LED indicator light. Proper function is achieved when the CUP indicator lights up at peak levels, it should never be in constant on position.
The above adjustment matched the microphone preamp to the input volume of the Power Gig unit.
Now turn up the Volume to necessary loudness by rotating clockwise.

Always stand behind the Power Gig when making your microphone adjustments to avoid
feedback distortion.

Multi-Microphone Hook Up

You can choose to hook up two microphones to your Power Gig in the following manner. Set up microphone #1 as instructed above. Using same set up instructions, insert microphone #2 into the ultra-low noise Mic 2 input which features its own separate Level control. Use this Level control to increase the microphone level and balance the inputs between the two microphones before attempting to adjust the Volume.
