2. SETUP

After transporting the PA-4180 to the desired location, stand the unit up on its feet and wheels. Unclasp and unhook the side panel latches and carefully remove the top speaker by lifting on the latch panel of the speaker and pulling apart the hinge connection. Lift off the mixer section in the same manner.

Position the PA-4180 mixer section on a flat surface with the control panel facing front. Parts of the unit can become very warm during use. This is normal during operation. Care should be taken to ensure that there is enough space around the Mixer Section for cooling. Make sure the side panel vents are not obscured and have plenty of ventilation. Also, do not place the PA-4180 on high temperature devices such as power amplifiers, etc., or the unit may overheat in operation. Although the PA-4180 is shielded against radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic interference (EMI), extremely high fields of RF and EMI should be avoided.

Please make sure that the power unit supplied is marked for the correct voltage in your area (120VAC/60 Hz or 230VAC/50 Hz). Power requirements for electrical equipment differ from area to area. In new installations and

portable sound systems, or any situation in which the AC power is in question, it is wise to confirm the voltage and use the appropriate power supply unit before connecting it to power sources.

Europe (except UK): 230V, 50Hz

UK and Australia: 240V, 50Hz

USA and Canada: 120V, 60 Hz

For other areas, please check with local authorities.

Connect the speaker cables to the input jacks on the rear panel of both the Left and Right speakers. The connecting terminal offers Speakon™ and two 1/4" jacks for easy daisy chaining. Connect the other end of each cable to the corresponding Left and Right speaker outputs on the rear panel of the PA-4180 mixer section. Position the length of the cables so they will not be a safety hazard to people.

Connect all sound sources to the appropriate inputs i.e., microphones, keyboards, CD players, karaoke machines. When ready to operate, plug the AC cord into the power source. Make sure that the unit is turned off before connecting to the AC power source to avoid possible loud transients which can damage your speakers or your ears. Before turning on, connect up the speakers and all inputs and outputs desired and turn down the Master Volume.

Another notable characteristic of the Nady 4180 is its durability. The metal construction of the transmitters enhances their ruggedness, making them capable of withstanding the rigors of frequent use on stage. Moreover, the system is designed for easy setup, with a quick auto-scan feature that identifies available frequencies, streamlining the installation process.

Power management is another highlight of the Nady 4180.
