Getting Started - Sound Projections Sound Machine SM-3neo User Manual

Getting started.

Whether you're a first-time user or an experienced presentation professional, the Sound
Machine SM-3neo was designed with you in mind. Easy to use and loaded with fea-
tures, you'll need only a few minutes to set up and begin operation. This user guide is
full of valuable information — please read it!
!! Charge the battery!
The battery should be charged before the first use and before each use there-
after when using battery power. See "Charging the battery" on page 5.
1. Set up the sound system in front of your audience.
Proper set-up is important. For best sound distribution, put the unit on a
speaker stand or table so the sound projects over the audience.
Connecting an SM-3C Companion Speaker.
For expanded crowd coverage, connect unpowered
companion speaker SM-3C to the speaker output
jack on the lower panel of the Sound Machine.
Note: The speaker output is designed
specifically for use with the Sound Machine SM-3C companion
speaker and SC50-4W cable — do NOT use other type external
speakers or damage may result!)
2. Plug a microphone or audio source into an input jack.
Connect a microphone, tape player or other source to the matching input jack;
turn down the corresponding volume knob
before turning on the SM-3neo.
(See "Choosing an Input" on pages 6-7
for more information on input selection.)
If using the optional CD player or a wire-
less microphone system, use the corre-
sponding knob to control the input volume (see separate instructions for oper-
ation and features of optional equipment).
