Setting Up And Connecting - IMG STAGELINE PAK-8XC Instruction Manual

3 Applications
This compact and lightweight active speaker sys-
tem is suited for general PA applications. It is
equipped with a dynamic horn tweeter and a 20 cm
(8") bass speaker, controlled via a class D amplifier
of very high efficiency.
A line signal can be fed via the balanced XLR
jack or, in an unbalanced way, via the phono jacks.
In addition, the speaker system is provided with an
XLR input for a microphone signal which will be
added to the line signal via an individual control.
The signal output will allow connection of another
active speaker system.
The speaker system is equipped with protective
circuits against overload and overheating.

Setting Up and Connecting

Set up the speaker system on a solid surface, e.g.
on the stage or on a table and position it towards
the audience. The tweeters should be at ear level,
if possible. With its bevelled cabinet shape, the
speaker system can also be used as a stage mon-
itor radiating diagonally upwards. If a microphone
should be used, do not direct the speaker to the
microphone and keep sufficient distance towards
the microphone, otherwise acoustic feedback (loud
howling) may occur.
Alternatively, place the speaker system via the
stand sleeve on its lower side onto a standard
speaker stand with 35 mm tube diameter (e. g. of
the PAST series from "img Stage Line"). After align-
ing the speaker system, tighten the screw (12).
For additional mounting facilities, e. g. suspen-
sion, M8 threaded jacks are recessed into the cab-
inet (two on the upper side and one on the lower
side). To use them, remove the corresponding rub-
ber covers.
Prior to connection or changing existing connec-
tions, switch off the speaker system and the units to
be connected.
4.1 Connecting a signal source
For connection of a signal source with line level
(e. g. CD player, mixer output) there are the follow-
ing possibilities:
– For balanced signals, use the XLR jack (5) [con-
figuration of the pins
– For unbalanced signals, use the phono jacks (6).
When using both phono jacks or the phono jacks
and the XLR jack (5) at the same time, the input
signals are mixed. Thus, when connecting a
stereo signal source, a mono signal is created.
For stereophonic reproduction connect each
stereo channel to an individual speaker system.
A microphone can be connected to the XLR jack
MIC IN (1).
4.2 Signal output
The mixed signal of the input signals is available as
a balanced signal with line level at the XLR jack
LINE OUT (2) to be passed on to another active
speaker system, an amplifier or a recorder. The
output signal is independent of the adjustment of
the total volume control LEVEL (4).
4.3 Power supply
Connect the supplied mains cable to the mains jack
(10) and the plug to a socket (230 V~ / 50 Hz).
