4 Setting Up / Transporting

Place the unit as desired or mount it onto a PA

telescopic handle . Push down the unlock but-
ton at the lower side of the handle and extract /
retract the handle as desired .

5 Power Supply

5.1 Mains operation /
Recharging the batteries
To operate the unit via the mains and /or to re-
charge the internal batteries, connect the mains
cable provided to the mains jack (19) and to a
mains socket (230 V / 50 Hz) .
When the unit is connected to the mains,
the batteries will be automatically recharged:
During the recharge, the LED indicators for the
battery status (4) will light up continuously one
after the other . It is not necessary to switch
on the unit for recharging; however, it can be
operated during the recharging process . Once
the recharging process has been completed, the
LED "FULL" will light up continuously .
After operation or after recharging the batter-
ies, disconnect the unit from the mains to avoid
unnecessary power consumption .

5.2 Battery operation

During battery operation, the respective LED (4)
will indicate the charging state of the recharge-
able batteries:
80 – 100 % charged
less than 80 % charged
less than 50 % charged
less than 20 % charged
Important: To prevent damage to the batteries due
to deep discharge and to prevent a reduction of their
lifetime, please observe the following notes:
– Always fully recharge the batteries prior to initial
operation and after longer storage .
– When the LED "20 %" starts flashing, the batteries
are almost discharged and should be recharged as
soon as possible .
– Fully recharge the batteries prior to longer storage
and at least every two months during storage .

6 Audio Connections

Switch off the unit prior to making any con-
nection .
6.1 Inputs
Two microphones can be connected: via an XLR
plug or a 6 .3 mm plug, to the jack MIC 1 (18)
or, via a 6 .3 mm plug, to the jack MIC 2 (17) .
Audio units with line signal level (e . g .
CD / MP3 player, mixer, tape deck, tuner) can be
connected to the RCA jacks LINE IN (13) and the
3 .5 mm jack AUX IN (15) . It is possible to connect
both mono units and stereo units; in case of a
stereo input signal, the left channel and the right
channel are combined to a mono signal .
10
6.2 Outputs
Additional audio units such as a recorder or an-
other active speaker system can be connected
to the outputs LINE OUT and AUX OUT (14) .
At both outputs, the mixed signal of the audio
sources will be available, unaffected by the tone
controls (6) and the control MASTER (11) . At
each output jack – the two RCA jacks and the
3 .5 mm jack – a mono signal is available .
7 Operation
CAUTION Never adjust the active speaker
system to a very high volume .
Permanent high volumes may
damage your hearing!
Your ear will get accustomed to high volumes
which do not seem to be that high any more
after some time . Therefore, do not further in-
crease a high volume after getting used to it .
1) Prior to switching on the unit, set the control
MASTER (11) to "MIN" .
2) To switch the unit on and off, use the POWER
switch (5) . The switch will be illuminated
when the unit is switched on . The battery
status indicators (4) will indicate the charging
status of the rechargeable batteries .
To prevent damage to the batteries by
deep discharge during battery operation, a
discharge protection will automatically switch
off the unit when required . However, due to
self-discharge of the batteries, a deep dis-
charge may also occur when the unit is not
operated for a longer period of time . There-
fore, always observe the box "Important" in
chapter 5 .2 .
3) Switch on the audio sources that are to be
audible and then adjust their volume with the
corresponding controls / buttons (see below);
use the control MASTER (11) to adjust the
overall volume for the active speaker system .
Volume adjustment of the audio sources:
– for the two receiver units of the 2-channel
receiver module, use the corresponding
volume control (2), CH .A or CH .B
operation: see chapter 7.1
– for model TXA-1020USB:
for the integrated audio player, use the vol-
ume buttons at the player or on the remote
control
operation: see chapter 3.1
– for a unit connected to the input AUX IN
(15) and the Bluetooth receiver, use the vol-
ume control (8) of the operating panel AUX
operation of the Bluetooth receiver:
see chapter 7.2
Note: The control will determine the volume of
the mixed signal of both sources when they are
used at the same time .
– for a unit connected to the input LINE IN
(13), use the volume control (7) of the op-
erating panel LINE
– for a microphone connected, use the vol-
ume control (10 or 9) above the corre-
sponding input
Switch unused sources off or set their volume
to minimum .
4) Use the high-frequency control TREBLE and
the low-frequency control BASS (6) to adjust
the tone of the active speaker system .
5) Use the button VOICE PRIORITY (12) to
activate the microphone priority function .
When the button is pressed (LED beneath
the button illuminated), the volume of the
music currently played will be substantially
reduced while announcements via a micro-
phone connected or a wireless microphone
are being made . To deactivate the function,
disengage the button again .
Note: The function will also have an effect on the
output signal of the jacks LINE OUT and AUX OUT
(14) as well as on the output signal of the trans-
mitter module .
7.1 Operating the receiver module
Using the 2-channel receiver module and two
appropriate transmitters (e . g . pocket transmitter
TXA-800HSE, wireless microphone TXA-800HT),
two transmission paths can be established .
1) The receiver units A and B of the module pro-
vide a control (2), CH .A and CH .B respectively,
to adjust the volume and to switch them on
and off . To switch a receiver unit on, advance
the corresponding control from the position
"OFF" . The left half of the display (1) applies
to receiver unit A, the right half applies to
receiver unit B . When a receiver unit has been
switched on, the corresponding half of the
display will indicate the transmission chan-
nel . To indicate the radio frequency, press
an arrow button (△ for unit A, ▽ for unit B) .
The previous indication will reappear after
2 seconds .
2) Use the buttons (3) of the module to set the
transmission channels, either manually or
by means of an automatic scan . Leave the
corresponding transmitters switched off for
the time being .
Channel scan:
Keep the buttons △ and ▽ simultaneously
pressed for approx . 1 second until
appears on the display . The scan will start:
The receiver units will be set to free channels
without mutual interference . If no free chan-
nels are found, the channels set will be kept .
Manual channel selection:
If both receiver units A and B are switched on:
1 . Keep the button SET pressed until the
channel indication for receiver unit A starts
flashing on the display .
2 . Select the channel for receiver unit A with
the button △ or ▽ and then confirm with
the button SET .
3 . The channel indication for receiver unit B
starts flashing on the display . Select the
channel for receiver unit B with the but-
ton △ or ▽ and then confirm with the
button SET .
If only one receiver unit A or B is switched on:
Keep the button SET pressed until the channel
indication starts flashing on the display . Select
the channel with the button △ or ▽ and then
confirm with the button SET .
If a channel is not confirmed within
10 seconds with the button SET, the setting
