Safety Information The lightning bolt within a To reduce the risk of electric The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to alert the shock, do not remove cover of this triangle is intended to alert the user to user to the presence of device. There are no user important operating and maintenance dangerous voltage levels within serviceable parts inside. Refer (servicing) instructions in the literature the product’s enclosure. servicing only to qualified service accompanying the appliance. personnel. This voltage may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute an electric shock risk. Safety Precautions Read these instructions carefully and retain for future reference. To allow isolation from the mains supply, the mains plugs must remain accessible when the equipment is in use. The equipment must be connected to a three pin earthed mains socket outlet using the mains cord provided. Do not expose the equipment to dripping or splashing water and do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases on the equipment. Do not use the equipment near water or in high humidity areas. Do not place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on top of the equipment. ... - Page 3 Pulse Active 150W PA/Monitor Speaker ASM5D portable active PA and monitor system with a class‐D powered 5‐inch speaker The PULSE system provides 150W of power, and features a low noise 3‐channel mixer section with 2 mic/line inputs on XLR (balanced) / Jack (unbalanced) combo connectors and an auxiliary line input on stereo phono or 3.5mm jack connectors. Also included in the mixer section is a 3‐band EQ, switchable 48v phantom power and on‐board echo effect (switchable between Mic1+2 & Mic2). A mic stand mounting adapter system is included; whereby the monitor can be fixed to a mic stand for “ear level” monitoring applications. A rear mounted XLR / TRS Jack main input enables connection of a stage monitor signal, while an XLR ‘thru’ output is Mic / Line level selectable to enable supply of mic or line level signals from the ASM5D to a Front of House mixer, or to feed a further active speaker. The ASM5D is a high quality and versatile portable “on the spot” sound reinforcement solution for all kinds of live events, conferences, meetings and education. It also configures as a very useful personal monitor system for practice sessions and all kinds of solo/band performances, including keyboard players, guitarists, drummers and a useful piece of additional equipment for live DJs. Features Ultra compact 150W PA/Monitor speaker system 5” Premium full range driver with neodymium magnet Class D amplifier technology Ultra low noise, 3 channel mixer 3 Band EQ +48V Phantom power (switchable) Ch.1 Instrument ready (switchable) Echo function (switchable from Mic 1&2 to Mic 2 only) Dedicated stereo input channel for keyboards, CD, MP3, etc. ...

Page 6: Quick Start Guide
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) ... - Page 7 Thru 5. XLR connector [16] for linking out to a mixer, additional ASM5D’s or larger active PA speaker. 6. LINE/MIC level switch [17] to change the output level of the THRU connector from line to mic signal level. 7. Combines the signal from the MAIN IN [18] connector and the front panel inputs prior to the EQ & MASTER level controls. Power 8. Make sure the POWER switch [14] is turned off. 9. Connect the supplied mains lead to the ASM5D. 10. Only set the POWER switch to ON once all your input & link connections are made and are already switched on. 11. When the POWER switch is turned on, the blue LED [5] situated on the front control panel will be illuminated. 4. Levels: 1. Turn the MASTER level [6] to approx 50% to start with (if using multiple ASM5D’s then each MASTER level will need adjusting separately). 2. Start playing your audio source, or speaking/singing into a connected microphone. 3. Slowly increase the level control [9] of each connected audio input until the desired volume is reached. 4. If the sound starts to distort, lower the input level [9] on affected channel or lower the output level on the audio source (if it has an output level control). 5. If feedback is detected (a pitched tone/squeal), reduce the input level [9] of the connected microphone(s) and/or move it further away from the speaker if possible. 6. If greater speaker volume is required, increase the MASTER level [6] control (but adjust any level controls if distortion or feedback is detected). 5. EQ: 1.

Page 8: Configuration Examples
Configuration Examples This illustration shows the typical connection points for different types of equipment. MP3 player – 3.5mm jack CD/DVD/Media Player – L+R Phono Instrument – MIC/LINE1 (Jack) Microphone – MIC/LINE1 or 2 (XLR) This illustration shows typical connection for using as floor monitors. This can be done as a stereo L+R for a keyboard player using MAIN IN on each ASM5D for either L or R signal. Or as a general stage monitor and send a mono signal to MAIN IN on the 1 ASM5D and use the THRU connector to link out to the next ASM5Ds MAIN IN. This illustration shows typical connection for using as monitor before sending the signal out to an active PA speaker, for using with a large venue/audience. Connect your microphone, instrument and/or any additional music source (such as CD/MP3 player) to the appropriate channel input. Use the THRU connector to link the ASM5D to the active PA speakers input. 8 ... -

If No ‐ Check the blue power LED is illuminated, if illuminated check the level controls and audio sources are set correctly. No Sound 1. Check the MASTER level is properly adjusted. 2. Check the channel levels (MIC/LINE1, 2 & AUX) are properly adjusted. Check the audio source is it switched on and working correctly. Make sure the connecting cables are in good order and connected at both ends. 3. Make sure the output volume (gain) of the connected device is turned up sufficiently to drive the inputs of the ASM5D. Poor/Distorted Sound 1. Follow the procedures for setting the levels in the Quick Start Guide (4. Levels) 2. Make sure all input cables are in good order. 3. Make sure all input connections are plugged in completely and are not loose. Noise 1. Check all connections to the ASM5D are good Check that none of the audio signal cables are routed near the following :‐ 2.
