1. Before Setting Up:
Rear Panel
1. Make sure the POWER switch [14] on the rear panel is turned OFF.
2. MIC/LINE switch [17] on rear panel is set to LINE (button out).
Front Panel
3. The MASTER [6] & INPUT [9] levels are turned down to MIN.
4. The HIGH[1] / MID[2] / LOW[3] EQ levels are set to 0 (central position).
5. PHANTOM POWER [7] is switched off (button out) unless using condenser microphones.
6. INSTRUMENT [8] optimizer is switched off (button out) unless using an instrument with an
unbalanced jack input.
7. ECHO [4] effect level is turned to MIN.
WARNING:
Make sure the MASTER [6] & INPUT [9] levels are turned
to MIN (anti‐clockwise) before & after every use.
2. Placement:
1. Place the ASM5D speaker(s) in the desired location(s) for use.
2. The ASM5D speaker can be positioned on a flat and stable surface or on a stand
3. If stand mounting is required use a suitable microphone stand and the supplied mounting adaptors
(additional thread adaptors may be required).
WARNING: DO NOT place the ASM5D near water/liquids that could be splashed or spilt onto the unit, or in
areas of high humidity.
3. Connections:
Inputs
1. Connect the output signal of your main audio source, such as a mixing desk monitor output feed to
either the:‐
MAIN IN [18] (mono, XLR or balanced 6.35mm jack, fixed level)
MIC/LINE IN 1 or 2 [10] (mono, unbalanced 6.35mm Jack, adjustable level)
AUX IN (stereo, 3.5mm jack [12] or L+R phono [11], adjustable level)
2. Connect your microphones to MIC/LINE inputs 1 or 2 [10] using an XLR connector.
3. If using condenser microphones which require phantom power, switch the PHANTOM POWER [7]
button to on (the red LED will now be illuminated to signify this).
4. Connect your instrument (such as electric guitar) to MIC/LINE 1 using a 6.35mm jack connector and
switch the INSTRUMENT [8] switch to ON (button in). This will optimize the MIC/LINE 1 input for
high‐impedance signals from instruments with electric pickups to be used (if a greater volume is
required from your instrument a DI box can be used).
