11. – ATT: LED audio attenuation indicator.
    When identifying an audio signal from the microphone input or emitting the ding-dong signal (GONGO), the equipment attenuates the output signal, allowing higher evidence of the microphone. After 2 seconds without using the microphone, it returns to the state without attenuation. It is possible to enable or disable this function. See page 05 (Function configuration mode).

12. – MASTER: Controls the global volume level and must be used to adjust the output power desirable.

13. – MIC: P10 (1/4″) input for microphone.
    Microphone Recommendations:
    – The microphone signal has a low amplitude, so improper use can cause unwanted noise.
    – Use quality cables and connectors.
    – Do not wrap the microphone cables.
    – Do not pass the microphone in front of the loudspeakers. This causes microphone feedback.

14. – VOL. MIC: Adjusting the volume of the microphone and the GONGO (ding-dong). If you do not use the microphone and GONGO, it is recommended to keep the volume to a minimum.

15. – GONGO: GONGO activation key.

-ATT(11) lit, indicates that the attenuation function is active. To change the status of this function, touch the GONGO key (15).
To exit programming, touch and hold the ON/STB key (18) for more than 5 seconds.
Output configurations
The CH1, CH2, CH3 and CH4 outputs can be configured for various use situations, such as a 2.1 system, often used in TV soundbars, where we have two stereo outputs and a bass output. In this case, the subwoofer box must be passive. Another option is a STEREO system with two high-power channels. Or even with 4 independent outputs.
For configurations, the THS 6000 has three resources: two X-OVER keys to activate frequency filter depending on the type of box used, two ROUTE keys to direct the input signal to the outputs and BRIDGED output connections. The X-OVER and ROUTE keys are located on the bottom (image below), built into the device to prevent accidental activation. Each key acts on two outputs simultaneously, one on CH1/CH2 and the other on CH3/CH4. The BRIDGED connections are on the back, on the SPEAKER OUT output connectors, simply connecting the speaker to the corresponding terminals.

X-OVER key (frequency lters)
These keys activate the frequency filters of the respective channels. The HPF and LPF filters complement each other and are ideal for combined use, i.e. in separate bass systems with a passive woofer or subwoofer box.
The HPF filter used independently can help increase performance, durability and even improve distortion in small speakers that are not capable of reproducing bass efficiently. The settings are:

OFF: Frequency filters turned off, with no effect.
LPF: Low pass mode frequency filters. These filters only allow low sounds to pass through. Use these filters if you connect a passive woofer or subwoofer speaker.
HPF: High pass mode frequency filters. These filters only allow bassmids, mids and highs to pass through. Use these filters if you are connecting sconce-type speakers or small speakers that are not capable of reproducing sub-bass.
ROUTE key (routing)
These keys select which L or R channel (left or right) of the source being played will be routed to the CH1, CH2, CH3 and CH4 outputs. The playback source can be USB, FM or Bluetooth, AUX1, AUX2 or Optical and must be chosen in other controls. The options are:
ROUTE CH1/CH2:

R/L: Directs the L channel to the CH1 output and the R channel to the CH2 output. This configuration is recommended for environments in which the speakers are in suitable positions for stereo reproduction. R+L: Directs the mixing of the R and L channels (mixer or mono-mix) to the CH1 and CH2 outputs. This configuration is recommended for use with a subwoofer/woofer or in the case of sound systems where only one channel will be used per room (multi-room systems).
L: Directs only the L channel to the CH1 and CH2 outputs. This case is only allowed when the THS 6000 will operate on 2 outputs (200W + 200W). To do this, the ROUTE key on CH3/CH4 must be in the “R” position and the speakers must be connected to the BRIDGED connections. In this case, the BRIDGED output of CH1/CH2 will reproduce the L channel and the BRIDGED output of CH3/CH4 will reproduce the R channel.
ROUTE CH3/CH4:

R/L: Directs the L channel to the CH3 output and the R channel to the CH4 output. This configuration is recommended for environments in which the speakers are in suitable positions for stereo reproduction.
R+L: Directs the mixing of the R and L channels (mixer or mono-mix) to the CH3 and CH4 outputs. This configuration is recommended for use with a subwoofer/woofer or in the case of sound systems where only one channel will be used per room (multi-room systems).
R : Directs only the R channel to the CH3 and CH4 outputs. This case is only allowed when the THS 6000 will operate on just 2 outputs (200W + 200W). To do this, the ROUTE key on CH1/CH2 must be in the “L” position and the speakers must be connected to the BRIDGED connections. In this case, the BRIDGED output of CH1/CH2 will reproduce the L channel and the BRIDGED output of CH3/CH4 will reproduce the R channel.
Note about the BRIDGED output: The BRIDGED outputs mentioned work to combine two outputs into one and work independently of the key settings, so it is possible to obtain a FULLRANGE or filtered signal at the BRIDGED output, depending on the position of  theX-OVER key.

Protection System

The THS 6000 has a protection system against outputs overload and outputs short circuit.
When the protections are activated, the ATT LED on the front panel turns on temporarily and the audio output is interrupted. About 2 seconds, or the audio is restored.
If the protection system or system meets frequently, review the settings and installation of your system.

Knowing your equipment
Rear Panel

1. – POWER CABLE: Plugged it into a powered outlet. . This product operates from 127V AC to220V AC.

2. – SPEAKER OUT: Power output for connecting speakers. In this case, there are two connection possibilities: the normal one with a box at each output and the BRIDGED connection that joins two channels into one, for greater power. Follow the indicated polarity and the recommended minimum impedance of 2 Ohms for normal connection and 4 Ohms for Bridged connection.

3. – OUT: The LINE OUT output allows to send the audio signal (not amplified) to other equipment, such as another THS 6000, an amplifier or active subwoofer.
   The LINE OUT sound is affected by the 3 Band Equalizer and Volume controls. (LOW, MID, HIGH and VOLUME controllers).

4. – INPUT AUX 1, OPTICAL e AUX 2: Audio inputs. To use these inputs, the device must be in the AUX or DIRECT AUX function. Use the AUX1/AUX2 front button to select the desired input. OPTICAL input is automatically selected when an optical signal is present, regardless of the position of the front panel AUX1/AUX2 key. Using the OPTICA input, you have the AUTO TURN ON/OFF system, which automatically turns the device on/off when there is an optical signal at the input. This function can be disabled according to the configuration instructions on page 05.
   IMPORTANT: for the optical signal to work correctly, the TV or signal source must be configured as standard PCM output. Strong noises indicate that the received signal is not PCM standard. In this case, check the TV menu to see if the digital audio output format is PCM. (Consult your TV manufacturer’s manual). Position the wire antenna in order to achieve the best FM reception.

5. – FM ANTENNA: Indoor wire antenna for FM radio reception.
