Setup and Operation for Powered Array Speakers (PI39 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 use with a cabled microphone, plug the mic 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.
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.
Fixed and Variable Line Outs
Both the PI39 and PI30-PS have xed and variable volume line out features. With these two features, you can not only
daisy chain additional speakers for wider audio distribution, but also support functioning of an independent system
(supporting special needs students for example.) Both line outputs are the same audio mix as what’s being output by
the speaker itself. Which output is used depends on where you prefer to control the volume from.
Fixed The xed line output level is not aected by the main volume control.
Variable The variable line output level varies with the volume control setting.
Tone Control
The tone control would normally be set at 12 o’clock and will have little eect 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.
PI39 16-Channel UHF Powered Speaker Only
The PI39 can receive wireless audio from any 900MHz Califone UHF transmitter (PA919SD, PA919, and wireless mics).
Wireless Receiver
If using a Califone wireless transmitter, rst make sure the transmitter and PI39 speaker are set to the same frequency.
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.
Wireless Microphones
There are two wireless microphone transmitters for use with the PI39; Q319 handheld microphone and M319 beltpack
transmitter used with your choice of exible collar mic (CM-316), headset mic (HBM-316), and lapel mic (LM-316).
Q319
Install battery 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.
M319
Install battery. Plug in one of the three available microphones.
The M319 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.
