4. If linking power to another speaker, use a Powercon TRUE1 link cable from the POWERCON TRUE1 Link output to the input of the next speaker.

5.3. Audio veze

1. Connect your audio source (e.g., mixer, audio interface) to the BALANCED INPUT (XLR) on the rear panel using a balanced XLR cable.
2. If connecting multiple speakers in a daisy chain, use an XLR cable from the BALANCED LINK output of the first speaker to the input of the next speaker.

6. Operativni

6.1. Uključivanje/isključivanje

1. Before powering on, ensure all connections are secure and the VOLUME knob is at its minimum setting.
2. Locate the power switch (typically near the power input) and switch it to the 'ON' position. The power LED on the front of the speaker will illuminate.
3. To power off, set the VOLUME knob to minimum, then switch the power switch to 'OFF'.

6.2. Kontrola glasnoće

The VOLUME knob on the rear panel controls the output level of the speaker. Slowly turn the knob clockwise to increase the volume to the desired level. Monitor the OVERLOAD LED to prevent clipping.

6.3. Preset Selection

The PRESETS button allows you to select between three different DSP modes:

• LINEARNO: Provides a flat frequency response, suitable for general sound reinforcement where a neutral sound is desired.
• POJAČANJE: Enhances low and high frequencies, often used for music playback or when a more pronounced bass and treble response is needed.
• STAGE: Optimizirano za korištenje kao astage monitor, providing clarity and feedback suppression for performers.

Press the PRESETS button repeatedly to cycle through these modes. The corresponding LED (LINEAR, BOOST, or STAGE) will illuminate to indicate the active preset.
