INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the PWR12 mul-ti-function, engineered and manufactured by us. The PWR12 includes a high-output compression driver, and 12” woofer that produces an even and smooth studio quality sound in a sound rein-forcement speaker. Our design goal was to build a speaker with accurate play-back, smooth dispersion of mid and high frequencies, and an ergonomic design for easy transport and setup. The result is a sound reinforcement system dynamic enough to use at home, in the studio, parties or in a home theater.

FUNCTIONS

1. USB Port

2. Bluetooth Stereo Function.

3. Mic level: Control the signal for Mic input when using the Mic input.

4. Line Level: Control the output volume for Line Level Input.

5. Aux level: Control the signal for Aux input when using the Aux input.

6. Sub Level: Adjust the overall level available from the subwoofer.

7. Main Level: Overall level adjustment. The sub level is also adjusted in accordance with the preset level of the Sub Level controller.

8. Mic/Inst Input: These balanced inputs accept a standard XLR and a 1/4” Jack phone plug. A board range of signals from microphones, audio mixing consoles and electronic musical instruments may be connected here.

9. Line Input left: Use XLR and a 1/4” jack connector balanced or unbalance.

10. Line Input right: Use XLR and a 1/4” jack connector balanced or unbalance.

11. Aux Input: Use RCA and 3.5mm connector balanced or unbalance.

12. Mix Out: Use XLR connector balanced or unbalanced.

13. INDICATOR LEDS
    ON : Lights up once the system is properly connect-ed to the power mains and switched on. SIGNAL: Lights up as soon as an audio signal is present. The signal acquisition is performed before the MAIN LEVEL controller.
    LIMIT: Lights up if the loudspeaker system is oper-ating in the clipping range. A short fl ash of the LED is not critical. To protect the system, an excessive signal level is gently turned down by the built-in limiter. If the limiter LED lights up permanently
    or for longer periods, reduce the volume level. Failure to do so may result in a distorted sound and damage to the speaker system.

14. Power Supply Switch.

15. Power Supply Input Connector: Use with power cord.
    Warning: Make sure speaker is off and all LEVEL controls are down (counterclockwise) before every use.

CONNECTIONS

1. Connect the output from your signal source (mixing console, microphone, preamp, or other mic- or line-level source) directly to the INPUT connector on the back of the speaker. It accepts balanced line-level signals from mixers, pre amplifiers,
   CD players, tape decks, etc., and accepts direct connections from dynamic microphones through the MIC input.

2. There is also an XLR Output connector labeled LINE OUT. This allows you to connect more than one PWR12 to the output of your sound source. Simply plug an XLR cable from the Line Out connector
   of one speaker to the input connector of another speaker, and so on, daisy- chaining multiple speakers.

3. Turn on your signal source. (Make sure volume is turned down) Turn on PWR12. Start signal source and adjust volume controls on the signal source and PWR12 speaker.

BLUETOOTH PAIRING INSTRUCTIONS
