Titan™ 12 ACTIVE Rear Panel Features

1.Heat Sink: The heat sink allows for dissipation of heat build up from the amplifier via air cooling at the rear of the enclosure.

2.HI and LOW EQ (equalization) controls: These knobs control the equalization of the overall output signal providing +/- 10dB in each frequency range.

3.POWER ‘ON’ indicator LED and LIMIT indicator LED: The bracketed LED to the left of the POWER switch illuminates when the power switch is in the ‘ON’ position. The LIMIT LED illuminates when the signal limiter is actively limiting the level of the signal to prevent distortion and overload.

4.VOLUME controls for INPUT A and INPUT B: These knobs control the volume of each input channel.

5.POWER ON / OFF switch: This switch turns the power on and off.

6.RCA L / R (Left and Right) input jacks: These jacks provide for the input of a stereo signal (left and right). The signal is actively combined or “summed” providing a mono signal to the amplifier.

7.“BRO™ ” Bass Response Optimizer circuit switch: The BRO™ circuit, when engaged, allows for enhanced low frequency response at lower volume levels.

8.GAIN selection switch: This switch selects the proper gain structure for INPUT A. If a microphone is connected to INPUT A, use the HIGH selection (up). If the signal source is anything other than a microphone (playback device, keyboard or mixer output, for instance) use the LOW selection (down).

9.Output source “LOOP / MIX” switch: In the “LOOP” mode, this switch routes the

signal of INPUT B to the line level XLR OUTPUT jack, bypassing the EQ section and volume control. When in the MIX mode, this switch routes the combined (or “mixed”) signals of both INPUT A and INPUT B to the line level XLR OUTPUT jack.

10.XLR / ¼” COMBO input jacks for INPUT A and INPUT B: These convenient jacks provide for either XLR or ¼” balanced input connections to INPUT A and INPUT B.

11.POWER cord jack: This is a jack for a standard IEC, three prong, grounded AC electrical connection cord. Be sure that you are plugging into the correct source voltage that matches what is indicated just below the power cord jack.

12.XLR line level OUTPUT jack: This jack provides a balanced line level output of INPUT A and INPUT B signals (in MIX mode) or INPUT B signal only (in LOOP mode) for connection to additional Titan 12 ACTIVEs, powered subwoofers or amplifiers.
