All levels, controls and frequencies on the speakers and the sound board are pre-adjusted. The only control you need to use is the third one from the right marked as “laptop/ipod 1”, which allows you to increase or reduce the volume of the music. Please make sure it’s all the way down before connecting/disconnecting your phone or laptop to/from the PA. Once your playback device is connected, you may slowly increase the volume to your desired level. The volume of the microphone is also pre-adjusted. The microphone has an on/off switch. Please turn it on before speaking and make sure to turn it off when you are done speaking. As long as you follow these simple instructions and do not move or touch the equipment (except the volume control on channel “laptop/ipod 1”), there won’t be any problems. For your safety, the safety of your guests and the safety of equipment, please do not attempt to change the way everything is connected. One small mistake can lead to serious injury or damage to the equipment. |
