Quick Start - Samson SARL115A Owner's Manual

Quick Start

The following steps will help you get started using your RL112A/RL115A Loudspeakers with a mixer.
1. Turn the RL Loudspeaker and Mixer Power switch to the OFF positions.
2. Turn the VOLUME control on the rear panel of the RL Loudspeaker down, fully
counterclockwise.
3. If you are using your RL Loudspeaker(s) for live performance, set the Contour switch in the
OFF (out) position. If you are using your RL Loudspeaker(s) for music playback, set the
CONTOUR switch to the ON (in) position.
4. Following the manufacturer's instruction, connect the audio sources to your mixer.
5. Connect either a XLR or 1/4" cable from the output of your mixer to the INPUT 1 jack on
the RL112A/RL115A rear panel. Set the SENSITIVITY switch to the LINE position.
6. Connect the supplied power cable to the IEC socket on the back of the loudspeaker. Plug
the power cable into an AC outlet.
Note: Always make sure that the AC outlet is configured with the correct voltage as
indicated on the rear panel of the RL Loudspeaker.
7. Switch the RL Loudspeaker's Power switch to the ON position.
8. Run an audio signal from your mixer and check that you are getting a good level using the
mixers output meter.
9. Slowly raise the RL Loudspeaker's VOLUME control until you have reached the desired
level.
10. If the volume from the speakers gets really loud, or you see the Limit indicator blinking
frequently, turn down the VOLUME control on the RL112A/RL115A a little until the Peak
indicator does not light, or only lights occasionally with signal peaks.
Note: Before plugging in and turning on, remember the "last on, first off" rule of powered audio
gear - When powering up your system, be sure that all the wires are connected, first turn on
your mixer and any other outboard gear, then turn on your RL Loudspeakers. When powering
down, turn off your RL Loudspeakers off first and then your mixer and outboard gear.
