Recommended Set-up Procedure
Ideally volume on the unit should be set at maximum before the microphone volume is adjusted to the desired level.
Turn on the main power switch and use either a wireless microphone or cabled microphone to adjust the volume.
Operating The Sound System
• Place the PresentationPro at its desired location.
• CAUTION: Assure the 120/240 switch is in the correct position.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded 120 volt, 60 Hz outlet.
• Connect and audio source. Plug a microphone into either the XLR MIC input jack or the ¼”phone mic input or a wireless
Califone microphone. An audio source can be plugged into the AUX or LINE IN jacks.
• Turn the power switch “ON”(the red LED on the rear panel should light).
• Adjust volume (press the Vol+/Vol- on the rear panel or keys on PI-RC remote control), bass/treble controls for desired sound.
• Point the remote control at the speaker grill).

Volume Control
When the main power switch is turned on, the Volume Control is at the lowest level to prevent accidental damage to
the amplifier. The volume can be controlled by using the Vol+/Vol- buttons on the rear panel or the PI-RC Infrared
remote volume control. Volume is adjusted (+/- 4.5dB) with each push of one of the volume control buttons. Maximum
volume is reached after approximately ten pushes.
The remote control must be used in front of the speaker as the sensor is behind the speaker grill. The volume control
effects the loudness of both wired and wireless microphones.
Line Inputs
The line-level RCA input jacks can be used with audio sources such as computers, DVD players, LCD projectors,
CD players or connecting another wired PresentationPro. (The L+R stereo outputs to a mono signal without the
need for adapters.)
NOTE: For wireless microphone operation, the wireless receiver audio output can be plugged into “Line-In”.
Line Out
The ¼” line out is used to connect to the input of another piece of equipment such as a another amplified speaker. The
outputs are monaural and volume level will depend on the volume of the source. For example, the tape or CD player
level is controlled by the tape/CD volume control. Line out is independent of the Volume Control.
Tone Controls
The separate base and treble controls provide a wide range of adjustment for increasing or decreasing either the bass or
treble from “flat”frequency response. The center or “12 o’clock”position is flat.
Mic Input (Unbalanced)
An unbalanced, low impedance microphone input. For use with standard dynamic microphones that have a 1/4”phone plug.
Mic Input (Balanced)
Use this input for a dynamic (low impedance) microphone with an XLR plug. Condenser/electret (high impedance)
microphones which may need phantom (polarizing) voltage.
Mic Impedance Switch
This switch is used to compensate for mic impedance differences. It assures full amplifier output regardless of the
microphone used. Note: All connections must be made with shielded cable to avoid hum, buzzing, or radio interference.
LED
There are 3 LED indicator lights behind the speaker grill to give visual assurance of power, RF and audio reception.
Feedback Information
What is Feedback? Feedback is a ringing, howling, or shrill sound that is self-generated by the sound system when
using a microphone. It is the result of sound from the speakers being picked up by the microphone(s) in use and then
re-amplified by the system. This can form a self-sustaining loop that can damage the sound system if allowed to
continue, not to mention annoyance to persons nearby.
How to prevent feedback
ALWAYS STAND BEHIND THE SPEAKER WHEN USING A MICROPHONE. If feedback does occur, immediately reduce the
volume. Always plug in the microphone before turning on the power. Reducing the “treble”control may also help.
