SRM Loudspeaker: Rear Panel Features continued...
10. Main Logo Switch / Limit LED
The Running Man logo on the front of the SRM
loudspeaker illuminates when this switch is disengaged
and AC power is available at the mains input [1].
Engage the switch if you do not want the Running
Man logo to illuminate.
SRM loudspeakers have a built-in limiter that
helps to prevent the amplifier outputs from clipping
or overdriving the transducers. The limit indicator
illuminates yellow when the limiter is activated.
It's okay for it to blink yellow occasionally, but if
it blinks frequently or lights continuously, turn down
the gain knob [4] until it only blinks occasionally.
Excessive limiting may lead to
overheating, which in turn trips the
thermal protect circuitry and interrupts
the performance. See 'Thermal Protection' on
page 13 for more information.
11. Extra Knobs, Buttons and LEDs
What's cooler than extra bells and whistles on
a new toy? Well, a lot of things, I suppose, but that
didn't stop us! The rear panel of each SRM loudspeaker
is stacked with a variety of extra knobs, buttons and
LEDs. The following is a list of just some of the features
and functions of each (in alphabetical order):
Beer Tap – What good is a live show without a pint or
two...or more? Simply push and hold in the momentary
switch until your pint glass is filled.
Liquor Tap – Not everyone is a beer drinker. That's
why we installed the handy-dandy liquor tap, as well.
Modem – Are you old enough to remember the sound
of a modem? Press this switch once to have that sound
pour out the speakers. Press this switch twice if you
would rather hear the joyful sounds of a dot-matrix
printer instead.
My Favorite Band – Press the my favorite band
button repeatedly until your favorite band is displayed
on the silkscreen. Whatever song(s) you play through
these loudspeakers will sound like the band you
selected!
Sports – Music and sports demand two completely
different sets of sounds. If used as a sports PA, set the
switch to sports.

SRM550 • SRM650 • SRM750 Powered Loudspeakers
Stadium – If the audience consists of the bartender,
wait staff and significant others, engage this switch.
In between songs it will sound like a stadium filled
with adoring fans near and wide, not crickets.
Even with all that, we're still trying to figure out
what else our crazy engineers packed into these things!
The manual will be revised once we've discovered
what the other knobs, buttons and LEDs do.
Until then, appreciate the joy of new discoveries!
12. Rock 'n Roll
Congratulations, you have reached the end
of the features section! At this point, you should
have a pretty good understanding of how the SRM
loudspeakers function. If this is true, the next step is
to rock 'n roll! If this is not true, head back to page 9
and read it all over again. The following pages
discuss SRM loudspeaker placement, room acoustics,
an in-depth look at rigging and Smart Protect, technical
information and more. Check it out!
