without any special technical knowledge .
Please read the instructions carefully prior to
operation and keep them for later reference .
All operating elements and connections de-
scribed can be found on page 2 .
1 Overview
1 Input MIC 1 (XLR jack) with a 24 V phan-
tom power for connecting a microphone
to input channel 1 [as an alternative to the
jack (7) on the rear side]
2 Reading light
3 Switch for the reading light (2 brightness
levels)
4 Input MIC 2 (XLR jack) with a 24 V phan-
tom power for connecting a microphone
to input channel 2 [as an alternative to the
jack on the rear side]
5 VOLUME control, for each input channel
1– 4
6 LED RF; will light up when a radio signal is
received at input channel 1
The signal from a wireless microphone
will be mixed to the signal at the input
of channel 1 .
The LED RF at input channel 2 has no
function .
7 Combined XLR / 6 .3 mm jack for connect-
ing a microphone via an XLR plug or a
signal source with line level via a two-pole
6 .3 mm plug for each input channel 1 – 3
The XLR contacts of the input channels 1
and 2 are supplied with a 24 V phantom
power, e . g . for electret microphones .
8 Equalizer controls HIGH, MID an LOW for
each channel 1– 3
9 RCA inputs AUDIO IN for connecting
a signal source with line level to input
channel 4; when both jacks are connected
(e . g . stereo signal from a CD player), the
signals will create the sum (mono)
10 Output LINE OUT, REC (RCA jacks) to route
the mixed signal, e . g . to a recorder or an-
other amplifier system
11 LED LIMITER; will light up when the input
level is too high and is reduced by the
limiter
12 POWER LED
13 POWER switch
14 Mains jack for connection to a socket
(230 V/ 50 Hz) via the mains cable provided
15 Support for the mains fuse
Always replace a blown fuse by one of
the same type!
16 Castors
17 Compartment; e . g . for pens or an audio
recorder or audio player
18 Shelves; e . g . for scipts / notes and this in-
struction manual

3 Applications

The lectern SPEECH-200 consists of a
. high-quality 2-way speaker system, a mix-
ing amplifier with four input channels and
a receiving part for a wireless microphone
with a carrier frequency of 863 .05 MHz . It
is ideally suited to reproduce sound, e . g . for
lectures, speeches, readings, etc . The optional
wireless microphone offers additional mobility
(e . g . for passing round the microphone in the
audience when questions arise) .
Besides three microphones, it will also be
possible to connect other audio units (e . g . CD
player for adding music) . Via the jacks LINE
OUT, REC, the output signal will be routed to
a recorder or to another amplifier system . The
integrated reading light offers two brightness
levels .
The two integrated castors on the rear
side of the lectern allow convenient transport .

3.1 Conformity and approval

Herewith, MONACOR INTERNATIONAL de-
clare that the wireless receiver of the lectern
SPEECH-200 complies with the directive
2014 / 53 / EU . The EU declaration of conform-
ity is available on the Internet:
www .monacor .com
The wireless system (transmitter and receiver)
is generally approved for operation in EU and
EFTA countries, it is licence-free and requires
no registration .
4 Transport and Setting up
For transporting the lectern, seize the top
part and tilt it slightly backwards so that it
will stand on its two castors only . Thus, it
will be easy to wheel it to the place of appli-
cation . Set up the lectern is such a way that
the speakers on its front side will be directed
towards the audience .
5 Connections
Prior to connecting any units or to changing
any existing connections, switch off the am-
plifier system and all units to be connected .
5.1 Microphones and audio unit
1) Connect a microphone (e . g . a suitable
gooseneck microphone from the EMG...P
series) to one of the XLR jacks (1 or 4) on
the upper side of the lectern and adjust it
to the person speaking . It will also be pos-
sible to equip both jacks with one micro-
phone each . The jacks have a latching; to
disconnect the plug, press the PUSH lever .
As an alternative, connect a micro-
phone with an XLR plug to the input jack
(7) of the channels 1 and 2 on the rear side
of the lectern . Like the jacks on the upper
side of the lectern, these microphone in-
puts will supply the phantom power (24 V)
required by some microphones .
The input jack of channel 3 allows con-
nection of another microphone with XLR
plug .
2) To connect a signal source with line level
(e . g . mixer, CD player), use the 6 .3 mm
