IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT OPEN

• To reduce risk of electric shock, never open the unit.
• There are no user-serviceable parts. Refer to Rockville for service.
• Do not expose this unit to any kind of moisture.
• Please ensure that the unit is situated in a properly ventilated area.
• Make sure the unit is placed on a level and stable surface.

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, it’s more important to make sure that the tweeter horns are not blocked by any furniture and are located/aimed at the ear level of the listening audience. Woofer aiming is not as critical as explained previously due to the nature of the woofer sounds, allowing them 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 from 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, approach the speaker from the rear and do not walk directly toward the front of the speaker.

Assembling Your Power Gig Professional Sound System Stands

1. Remove the stands from their packaging and examine them to ensure that they are in proper working order.
2. 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 to the floor. Re-tighten the leg adjustment knob so that the legs are securely positioned (fig. c). Do not over-tighten.
3. Loosen the stand extension by loosening the locking knob (fig. d). Lift the extension to the desired height (fig. e). Now insert the safety detent pin (fig. f). Make sure the pin goes all the way through the extension pole (fig. g). If you retighten the locking knob, do not over-tighten it.

Mounting the Speaker

1. Unpack the speakers from their packaging. Check for any visible damage.
2. 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.
3. Once the speaker is mounted on the stand, secure it by tightening the locking knob located behind the pole opening at the bottom of the speaker (fig. i).

Connecting the Passive Speaker

To connect the passive speaker to the active unit, use the included 1/4” to ¼” cable. Connect one end of the cable to the¼” port on the active unit marked Speaker Out (fig. j). Now connect the other end to the ¼” 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 Level Controls

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

1. Unplug all inputs except for the one you wish to set the gain for. In this instance, the Line In RCA inputs.
2. Set the line-level input device volume (smartphone, tablet, MP3 player, etc.) to 60%.
3. Set the RPG102K Master Level to 75%.
4. Slowly turn up the level on the selected input (in this case, the Line Level). As soon as the clip indicator LED goes on or you hear any distortion – turn it down one or two notches.

After you set the levels on all input devices, you can readjust the RPG102K levels as necessary. When adjusting the Mic level controls, 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 necessarily a clipping issue.

PLEASE NOTE

Because mixers feature two volume controls (channel level and master), when connecting one via the XLR line in port, the procedure is slightly different. The RPG102K master volume should be set to 50% and the Line Level control 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. If after making these adjustments the signal still isn’t strong enough, you can additionally boost the signal by turning up the Line Level control.

Line Out Balanced Connection

The XLR line output allows you to output the amplifier signal to a powered subwoofer, another powered speaker, or an amp, which will, in turn, power other speakers. Simply connect the output device to the RPG102K using an XLR to XLR or an XLR to 1/i’ TRS cable to share the signal. 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.

Speaker Output Connection
The ¼-TS output marked Speaker Out is used to connect the active unit to the passive unit. Passive speaker impedance must always be 8 ohms.
