Quick Set-Up - Samson RS10HD Owner's Manual

Quick Set-Up

In the following pages of this manual, you will find a detailed explanation of system set-ups, but if you just
want to get started quickly, you can follow the diagram and steps below to set up a basic stereo PA system.
NOTE: Before plugging in and turning on, it is important to remember the Golden Rule of audio ... " LAST
ON, FIRST OFF". Translated, this means that when turning on your system, you should always turn your power
amplifiers or powered monitors on LAST, and when turning your system off, turn your power amps off FIRST.
This helps avoid any loud pops caused by inrush current at power up, which can sometimes damage loud-
speakers.
1. Before connecting your Resound HD's, make sure that the power of all your systems components are
turned off. Also, make sure that your power amplifier volume controls and the main left and right fad-
ers of your mixer are turned all the way down.
2. Connect the cables to your microphones and instruments, or a CD player, to your mixer.
3. Switch on the power of the mixer, instruments and/or CD player, and then switch on your power
amplifier.
4. While speaking into the mic (or playing the instrument or CD), raise the mixers main Left and Right
faders to the "0" position. Be sure that the mixer's output meters are not clipping. If they are, adjust
the mixer volumes down until the signal cleans up.
5. Now, slowly raise your power amp controls until you reach the desired listening level.
