[. . . ] Channel 2 Effect ­ Determines how much of your channel 2 input is sent to the TransActive50's internal effects processor. Master Section (knobs #5 through #9): These knobs let you apply EQ to your signal, select the digital effect you'd like to hear, and set your output level. Set this knob to "off" if you'd like to bypass the effects processor. For more information about the effects, see the section entitled "The TransActive's internal effects. [. . . ] Aux Out ­ These ¼" outputs let you send your mixed About the Aux Input This input goes straight to the main output and does not have its own level control on the front. If you'd like raise or lower the volume of this input, use the volume control on your source. Stereo Bus Link ­ If you own a pair of TransActive 50 monitors, you can use this output to connect the two speakers and to use them in stereo. For more information about this, see the section entitled "Using a Pair of TransActives in Stereo. Link Channel Switch (Left, Right, Off) ­ If you are using a pair of TransActives in a stereo configuration (using the Stereo Bus Link connection), use this switch to determine which side the speaker should be on. See the section entitled "Using a Pair of TransActives in Stereo" for more about this switch. The TransActive 50 features two different mounting options allowing you to place the speaker almost anywhere. The speaker has a 5/8" (16mm) threaded mount on its bottom as well as a standard wall mount bracket on its rear. The 5/8" threaded mount allows you to place your TransActive monitor on a microphone stand. This setup is useful for live performance situations in which the TransActive 50 is used as a "stage monitor" for a performer to hear him/herself while on stage. This setup is also ideal for when the TransActive is used as a small PA system. given the size/weight of the TransActive 50 , you'll want to mount the speaker on a sturdy "tripod-style" mic stand for maximum stability. The wall mount bracket allows you to mount your TransActive on walls or even or ceilings. This option is ideal for permanent or semi-permanent mounting situations where the speaker needs to be placed once and left alone. This option may also be useful in situations where space is at a premium because the speaker will not occupy floor or desk space. This speaker uses a common wall mounting bracket which is compatible with many solutions currently available. Your TransActive50 is ready to go right out of the box. If you plug in a microphone (or keyboard), power up the unit, and turn up the channel and main volume knobs, you should be able to hear yourself (or your keyboard). make sure the Link Channel Switch (directly underneath the "Stereo Bus Link" jack) is set to "Off. " If this switch is set incorrectly, you may be hearing only one channel of your line level inputs. If you've plugged in your keyboard (or other stereo source) but you're only hearing one side of the stereo signal, your Link Channel Switch is probably set incorrectly. Set this switch to "Off" to hear both channels of your stereo source.
