1 Balanced input, with adjustable sensitivity (microphone
- 40dBu / 2kohm or line 0dBu / 20kohm), fitted with a Neutrik Combo
connector which accepts both 3 pin XLR and jack plugs.
 See pages 26, 27 and 28.
2 Input sensitivity switch (mic when pushed in). The switch is factory
set in the 'line' position (button up) for the most common applications
(connection to a mixer or to other active systems). If you want to
connect a microphone directly to the input you must push the button to
'mic' (as input and output of the TANK101A/TANK121A are connected
in parallel and carry the same signal, should the output be connected to
another TANK101A/TANK121A the line/mic switch of the latter should
also be set in the same way of the other).
3 Balanced output, (in parallel with the input), using a 3 pin XLR
connector. It allows for easy parallel connection of other TANK101A/
TANK121A or active systems.
 See pages 26, 27 and 28.
4 IPeak led indicator.
The PEAK indicator is of great help to get an idea of the output level:
- if it never blinks, this means that the system is still below its
power limits.
- occasional blinking of this LED indicates that the working condition
is near to the maximum level, yet the musician's experienced ear still
continues to be the best judge of the signal quality.

5 Master volume control 'VOL'.
Adjusts the input levels of the 2 built-in power amplifiers to adapt
®
them to the output level of the mixer. It also allows to adjust the
speaker volume when this system is used in parallel with others.
Typical operating setting is on maximum position (sensitivity 0dBu).
When a microphone is connected to the input this control must be
adjusted to reach the desired volume.
6 2-band equalizer 'HIGH / LOW'.
It allows changing the response curve of the system depending on
the requirements of each different application. This enables optimizing
the TANK101A/TANK121A's working condition for each specific
requirement whether it is used for example in a conference hall,
on stage for monitoring and many other situations.
Note: to obtain a flat response it is advisable to set both the
HIGH and the LOW controls to their mid settings.
7 POWER /0 - I: Mains power on/off switch.
8 Mains power cord socket (with built-in fuse). Use only the factory
supplied mains cable or a suitable cable with a ground connection
and marked with the safety approvals valid in the country of use.
When installing make sure that it is easy to get to this connector
and to the mains plug.
