Please keep in mind that high sound pressures do not only temporarily damage your sense of hearing, but can also cause permanent hearing damage. Be careful to select a suitable volume at all times. Important notes concerning installation + The sound quality may diminish within the range of powerful broadcasting stations and high-frequency sources. Increase the distance between the transmitter and the device and use shielded cables for all connections. Introduction 5 EUROLIVE F1220A 2. Control elements and connections 2. 1 Top panel Fig. 2. 4: LINK OUTPUT {7} + {8} The LINK OUTPUT is directly connected to the inputs of the F1220A and carries the input signal with no processing applied. In this way, you can route the signal to the input of another device (for example, a second F1220A). Fig. 2. 1: First group control {1} The POWER LED lights up when the loudspeaker is put into operation. {2} The CLIP LED lights up when signal distortion occurs. Reduce the volume with the LEVEL control until the CLIP LED does not light up any more, or occasionally lights up at signal peaks. {3} To set the volume of the LINE or MIC signal, use the LEVEL control. The left half of the control range is for attenuating the LINE signal. The right half is for raising the level of the MIC signal. Level adjusting: Turn the LEVEL control whose signal you want to adjust slowly to the right until the CLIP LED {2} lights up only at signal peaks. The LED is not supposed to glow continuously. + We would like to draw your attention to the fact that extremely loud sound levels may damage your hearing as well as your headphones/loudspeakers. Turn the LEVEL control fully to the left before you switch on the unit. Be careful to select a suitable volume at all times. Fig. 2. 5: MIC/LINE INPUT {9} Use this 1/4" stereo jack to connect a signal source that has 1/4" output. (10) Use this XLR connector to connect a signal source that has XLR output. + Always use either the XLR or the 1/4" jack input, and use the LEVEL control to adapt the input sensitivity.
