GROUnD LIFT SWITCH (4)
Switches the XLR (7,10) PIn 1 (shield) from direct contact with the ground in the event that hum occurs with the
input cables connected. Push In to lift the ground.
InPUTS, Left & Right (7,10)
The line-level input is of the medium impedance balanced type. Jack (7, 10) is a combo female XLR and 1/4" TRS
connector.
InPUTS, LEFT & RIGHT (14)
A pair of RCA phono jacks (14) wired in parallel with the above listed inputs.
The top or WHITE jack is the Left channel input, and the bottom or RED jack is the Right channel. Used to input
a signal from a consumer type signal source, such as a CD player, Cassette deck or Radio.
MASTER SYSTEM LEVEL (5)
Controls the gain (level) of both the Left and Right input channels of the entire powered stereo speaker system
at the same time. It is used to directly set the system output level for a given input signal. It turns the level of
both the subwoofer AnD the satellite speakers up or down at the same time. Clockwise rotation increases the
level, counter-clockwise rotation reduces it. The sound is full OFF when the control is rotated full CCW. When set
to a 12 o'clock position, the gain will match well with many mixers and sound sources.
SUB LEVEL (6)
Controls the gain (level) of the subwoofer OnLY, allowing the balance between the bass and the rest of the
sound to be adjusted. When turned full CCW, the subwoofer output is turned all the way OFF. When set to the
2 o'clock position, the subwoofer output levels match those of the satellites. Turning the control up past the 2
o'clock position will result in bass that is stronger in level than the satellite speakers output.
If this control is turned all the way up full CW, the bass and male vocals could become boomy and ill-defined
due to the excessive amount of bass relative to the mids and highs. At this fully CW setting, the subwoofer may
overload and exhibit obvious distortion and distress, even with moderate input levels. This much bass boost is
available for sources that are weak in bass, but should not be used for sources that are strong in bass content.
POWER / CLIPPInG LED (13)
This is located to the right and down from the MASTER SYSTEM LEVEL (5) knob. It is on, or GREEn, when power
is applied. It turns RED when any of the power amps clip, or when the input channel is overloaded.
THRU OUTPUTS (8,11)
These male XLR jacks provide a means to send the input signal on to another device, or to daisy chain the
TriFlex II into another TriFlex II unit. These can also be used to connect a TriFlex II system for mono input
®
operation using a short XLR (or 1/4" phone jack) cable from the Thru jack to the other channel input jack. For
instance, you can run a Mono signal to the Left channel input (10), then run a short XLR cable from the Thru jack
(11) to the input jack of the Right channel (7).
These outputs are buffered (isolated from the input) and set at unity gain, and are not affected by the level
control. Whatever the signal level is going into the Inputs, that is the level that comes out. YOU CAn nOT InPUT
