Setup Diagrams for SxA Two-Way Systems (cont.)

·If you are using the SxA two-way system with a microphone and a line input simultaneously, it is simple to balance the two signals. The microphone level control has enough gain and range so that it is possible to mix the mic input and the line input. Once the balance between the line and mic inputs is set, simply turn the Gain Master control to the desired level.

·If there is no sound, keep the overall system gain at a reduced level until you determine what the problem may be. Typically, a mixer mute switch may be engaged or a microphone that is switched off is the source of the problem. Keeping the system gain at a low level will allow you to troubleshoot the problem and let you hear the results without unexpected bursts of sound or howling feedback. Start with the low-frequency and high- frequency EQ controls set in the flat position (12 o’clock, middle position) and listen to your program material before making any changes. Be aware that boosting EQ requires additional amplifier power and may reduce the acoustic output potential of the system somewhat. Use EQ judiciously.

·To route the signal to additional SxA systems, simply hook an XLR-type cable from the line output connector on the source system to the line input connector on each additional SxA system. The signal can be cascaded into a large number of SxA systems without degradation.

·When turning your system off, turn off the SxA systems first. This will prevent any turn- off transients from other pieces of equipment from being amplified.

To cascade the signal to extra SxA two- way systems, simply run a cable from the line output on the source system to the line input.
