Setting-Up And Connection - IMG STAGELINE PROTON-15MK2 Mode D'emploi

4 Setting-up and Connection

1) Open the cover of the subwoofer system to take
out the satellite speakers and the connection ca-
bles . Make sure that the cover is properly closed
again to allow an optimum bass reproduction dur-
ing operation .
2) Place each satellite speaker on a PA speaker stand
(e . g . PAST-... by MONACOR) at a suitable place .
It would be best to place the subwoofer system
centrically between the two satellite speakers, then
lock the castors .
3) As a signal source, connect an audio unit with line
output level (e . g . mixer, MP3 / CD player, etc .) . Con-
nect each of the two stereo channels via an XLR or
6 .3 mm plug to the appropriate balanced output
jack (10) or, via a cable with RCA connectors, to the
appropriate RCA jack INPUT (13): R = right cannel,
L = left channel .
4) At the corresponding output LINK (1 or 12), the
input signal fed through is available . This output
allows to connect the input of another PA system
if sound is to be provided to a larger area .
5) Connect the satellite speakers to the jacks SAT
SPEAKER (11) via the connection cables supplied .
Connect the SPEAKON
jacks and turn them clockwise until they engage . To
remove the plug, pull back the safety latch on the
plug and turn the plug counter-clockwise .
6) Finally connect the supplied mains cable to the
mains jack (8) and to a mains socket (230 V/ 50 Hz) .
5 Operation
CAUTION Never adjust a very high volume . Per-
manent high volumes may damage
your hearing! Your ear will get accus-
tomed to high volumes which do not
seem to be that high after some time . Therefore,
do not further increase a high volume after getting
used to it .
1) Switch on the signal source connected .
2) Prior to switching on, set the control VOL (3) to zero
to prevent switching noise . Then switch on the PA
system with the POWER switch (7): The upper LED
AMP . ON / PROT . (2) will show red for a few seconds
after switching on (protective circuit activated, unit
muted) and then change to green (normal mode) .
3) Adjust the volume with the control VOL (3) .
4) Adjust the volume ratio between the subwoofer
and the satellite speakers with the control BALANCE
(5) in such a way that a natural bass reproduction
will result .
5) If the volume is too high, the limiter will automati-
cally reduce the volume to protect the speakers . If
plugs to the corresponding
®
the volume adjusted on the subwoofer is too high,
the LED SUB LIM (2) will light up; if the volume
adjusted on the satellite speakers is too high, the
LED SAT LIM will light up . If one of these LEDs lights
continuously or if both LEDs light continuously, turn
back the volume control VOL accordingly . Other-
wise, permanent activation of the limiter will reduce
the dynamic power of the music .
6) For stereo mode, press the button STEREO (6) . The
LED ST next to the button will light up . For mono
mode, unlock the button .
Note: When the RCA jacks (13) are used for the input, the
change to the mono mode will not take effect . If required,
use the stereo mono converter SMC-1 to connect the
PROTON system .
7) During stereo mode, the button SURROUND (4)
may be pressed to improve the surround sound .
With the button pressed, the corresponding LED
ON will light up .
8) After operation, set the control VOL to zero first,
then switch off the unit with the POWER switch .
