3 Applications
The lectern SPEECH-100D features a
high-quality 2-way speaker system, a mix-
ing amplifier with three input channels and
a receiver section for a wireless microphone .
The lectern is designed for lectures, speeches,
readings, etc . The optional wireless micro-
phone offers additional mobility (it can, for
example, be handed round in the audience
for questions) . Apart from microphones, other
audio sources (e . g . CD players for music re-
play) can be connected . When speaking into
the microphone, it is possible to automatically
mute the music, for example .
The connection LINE LINK can be used
to route the output signal to a recorder or
another amplifier system . A speaker con-
nected to the speaker output may be used
as an addition or alternative to the internal
speaker . For optimum illumination of the
upper side of the lectern, a gooseneck light
can be connected .
With the rechargeable batteries, the
lectern can be operated for up to 16 hours
without being connected to the mains .
3.1 Conformity and approval
Herewith, MONACOR INTERNATIONAL de-
clare that the wireless receiver of the lectern
.
SPEECH-100D complies with the directive
2014 / 53 / EU . The EU declaration of conform-
ity is available on the Internet:
www .monacor .com
The wireless system (transmitter and receiver)
is generally approved for operation in EU and
EFTA countries, it is licence-free and requires
no registration .
4 Setting up the Lectern
4.1 Installation ( ☞
The lectern is supplied with two base plates
of different colour .
1) Use four screws to fasten the desired base
plate to the lower side of the column .
2) Place the upper part of the lectern onto
the column and fold up the cover .
3) Use four screws to fasten the upper part
of the lectern to the column .
4.2 Making the connections
Before making or changing any connection,
switch off the lectern or turn down the
volume controls (6, 7, 11) .
The two XLR jacks (21) on the upper side of
the lectern can be used to connect either two
microphones or a microphone and a goose-
neck light .
1) To connect a gooseneck light that is de-
signed for a voltage of ⎓ 12 V and requires
a current of 100 mA max . (e . g . GNL-304):
Connect the cable (1) of the desired XLR
jack (21) to the jack (3) for a light . Insert
the light into the connected XLR jack on
the upper side of the lectern . The jack has
a lock; to remove the light, press the PUSH
lever .
2) To connect a microphone: Connect the
cable (1) of the desired XLR jack to the
input jack MIC 1 (2) or MIC 2 (4) . Insert the
microphone (e . g . an appropriate goose-
neck microphone of the EMG...P series)
into the connected XLR jack (21) on the
upper side of the lectern and then direct
the microphone towards the lecturer .
As an alternative, when a higher input
sensitivity is required, connect a micro-
phone to the XLR contacts of the jack
1 MIC / LINE IN* (5) .
Note: The jacks MIC 1 (2) and MIC 2 (4) share
the same volume control; therefore, microphones
with similar electrical characteristics should be
used when these two jacks are used together .
All microphone inputs provide the phantom
power (12 V) some microphones require .
Note: Never connect microphones or other audio
sources with unbalanced output to the XLR jacks;
they may be damaged by the phantom power .
