Setup and Operation for Powered Array Speakers (PI30 and PI30-PS)
Power
Plug the power adapter into a standard AC outlet and the DC plug into either of the DC jacks on the rear of the speaker.
Microphone
For a cabled microphone, plug it into one of the 1/4” phone jacks before turning on the power. Turn the power ON
(the red LED will light) and adjust the volume to the desired level while speaking into the microphone.
Receiver
If using a wireless microphone transmitter, rst turn on the receiver power and adjust the volume to
10 o’clock. Then turn the speaker power and adjust the volume level to 10 o’clock.
Line-In
Two pair of RCA jacks are provided to connect audio from CD, LCD Projector or other audio sources. The
Left and Right channels are “summed” because the speaker system is monaural.
Tone Control
The tone control would normally be set at 12 o’clock and will have little eect when using a microphone. When playing
music turning the control clockwise will increase the treble, while turning counter clockwise will increase the bass.
LED Indicators
There are two LED indicators behind the speaker grille. Red indicates that there is a UHF transmission signal from the
microphone. The green lights when audio is being transmitted.
For 16-Channel UHF Powered Speaker Only
Transmitters
There are two wireless microphone transmitters available; Q-316 handheld microphone and M-316 Beltpack transmitter.
Q-316
Install 2 AA Alkaline batteries (included) and switch ON the Microphone. Wait 5 seconds prior
to talking into the microphone. Adjust the UHF receiver volume and speaker volume to the desired level.
M-316
Install 2 AA Alkaline batteries (included). Plug in one of the three available microphones. (see page 5).
The M-316 has a volume control which should be set at the lowest level before turning on the power.
After turning the power ON gradually increase the volume to a comfortable level. As with the handheld
microphone there is a 3-5 second delay before transmitting.
Microphone Lockout
Two wireless microphones cannot be used at the same time unless one is turned o while the other is
being used. Otherwise the rst to be turned on will block out the other.
NOTES
Turn the transmitter power switch o when not being used to minimize battery drain.
