Titan™ 12 ACTIVE Operating Instructions

The Titan™ 12 ACTIVE is nearly as easy to use as it is to move around. The steps below should be followed to help you get the best out of your speaker system.

-Place the Titan™ 12 Active on a speaker stand, set it upright or place it on its side (if being used as a floor monitor) and connect the power cable. Be sure to allow for adequate ventilation for the heatsink on the rear panel.

-Make sure that the volume knobs for INPUT A and INPUT B are turned all the way down and that all audio connections are made BEFORE turning on the power switch of the Titan™ 12 Active.

-Turn on the power switch and, with a suitable signal source (such as the output of a mixer, talking into a microphone, playing an instrument or signal from a playback unit), gradually turn up the volume control for the appropriate input to a comfortable level, being careful that input signals are not distorting or creating feedback.

-Make any necessary tonal adjustments for the performance environment with the LOW and HI EQ controls and the BRO™ circuit (if applicable).

CONNECTION SUGGESTIONS

There are many creative ways to connect and use the Titan™ 12 ACTIVE. The following pages show some suggestions for a few simple system configurations that can be used. Variations on these suggestions can be easily developed to meet your specific needs.

CONNECTION #1 shows a very basic setup using a single microphone and a MP3 player connected to a single Titan™ 12 ACTIVE. In this configuration, the GAIN selection switch needs to be in the “HIGH” position (up). The MP3 player is connected to the dual RCA jacks of INPUT B.

CONNECTION #2 shows how to “daisy-chain” the output of one Titan™ ACTIVE to the input of another. In this particular configuration, the input source can be a microphone or the output of a mixer connected to INPUT A. This setup would require the proper setting of the INPUT A “GAIN” switch depending on the type of signal

source that is used.
