Setting the input sensitivity

����justment of the input sensitivity of e�ch
lou��spe�ker c�n be m���e to m�tch the output
of the mixing console or other source, by use
of the input sensitivity control on the re�r
p�nel (see Figure �). �� sm�ll screw��river is
nee��e�� for the ���justment. �he m�nuf�cturer
��ef�ult setting for this control is -6 ��Bu (fully
clockwise) which gives �n SPL of �00 ��B
@�m with -6 ��Bu input level. �o get the full
output level of ��0 ��B SPL from the �������

setting. Respectively, the full output level of
the ������� is re�che�� �t �n input level of
+�0 ��Bu.
��utost�rt �n�� remote control
�he ������� �n�� ������� �re equippe�� with
�n "��utost�rt" function, which �utom�tic�lly
turns the �mplifier to "st�n��by" mo��e if �n
input sign�l h�s not been ��etecte�� for �pprox-
im�tely thirty minutes, �n�� b�ck to "on" mo��e
when the sign�l returns. �he function c�n be

Setting the tone controls

environment. �he ���justment is ��one by set-
ting the five tone control switch groups 'b�ss
tilt', 'b�ss roll-off', 'b�ss level', 'mi�� level' �n��
'treble level' on the re�r p�nel of the �mplifier.
�he m�nuf�cturer's ��ef�ult settings for these
controls �re '��ll Off' to give � fl�t �nechoic
response. See ��ble � for suggeste�� tone
control settings in ��iffering �coustic environ-
ments. Figures 7 �n�� 8 show the effect of the
controls on the �nechoic response. ��lw�ys
st�rt ���justment by setting �ll switches to
the 'OFF' position. �hen set only one switch
per group to the 'ON' position to select the
response curve require��. If more th�n one
switch is set to 'ON' (within one switch group)
