6. Opsætningsvejledning
- Pak enheden ud: Carefully remove the PA6BT from its packaging and inspect for any signs of damage.
- Placering:
- For personal monitoring, mount the PA6BT onto a standard microphone stand using the included MSA-1 stand adaptor. Ensure the stand is stable.
- Alternatively, place the unit on a stable, flat surface such as a table or stage-gulv.
- Initial Control Settings: Before connecting power, ensure all volume knobs (CHAN 1, CHAN 2, BT VOL) are turned completely counter-clockwise (minimum). Set the LOW, MID, and HI EQ knobs to their center (flat) positions.
- Strømtilslutning: Connect the supplied IEC power cable to the IEC inlet on the rear panel of the PA6BT, then plug the other end into a suitable AC power outlet.
- Tænd: Flip the Power Switch on the rear panel to the "ON" position. The PWR LED on the front panel should illuminate.
7. Betjeningsvejledning
7.1 Tilslutning af lydkilder
- Microphones/Instruments (XLR/1/4" Combo Jacks):
- Connect your microphone or instrument to either the Channel 1 or Channel 2 MIC input.
- If using a high-output source, engage the -20dB Pad switch for that channel to prevent input clipping.
- Slowly increase the corresponding CHAN 1 or CHAN 2 volume knob until the desired level is reached. Monitor the CLIP LED; if it flashes frequently, reduce the input volume or engage the -20dB pad.
- Line-Level Devices (1/8" LINE IN - Channel 2 only):
- Connect your smartphone, tablet, or other line-level audio device to the 1/8" LINE IN jack on Channel 2.
- Adjust the BT VOL knob to control the volume of this input.
7.2 Bluetooth Pairing and Operation
- Ensure the PA6BT is powered on.
- Activate Bluetooth on your audio device (e.g., smartphone, tablet).
- Søg efter available Bluetooth devices. The PA6BT should appear as "Galaxy Audio PA6BT".
- Select "Galaxy Audio PA6BT" to pair. A confirmation tone may sound from the speaker.
- Once paired, play audio from your device. Adjust the BT VOL knob on the PA6BT to control the playback volume.
7.3 Using the Equalizer (EQ)
The LOW, MID, and HI knobs allow you to tailor the sound to your preference or acoustic environment:
- LAV: Adjusts the bass frequencies. Turn clockwise to boost bass, counter-clockwise to cut.
- MID: Adjusts the midrange frequencies. Turn clockwise to boost mids, counter-clockwise to cut. This is often used to enhance vocal clarity.
- Hej: Adjusts the treble frequencies. Turn clockwise to boost highs, counter-clockwise to cut.
7.4 Compressor/Limiter
The PA6BT features a built-in 18dB compressor/limiter. This circuit automatically reduces the dynamic range of the audio signal, preventing sudden loud peaks from distorting the sound and protecting the speakers from damage. The COMP LED illuminates when the compressor/limiter is active.
7.5 XLR Pass-Through (THRU)
The XLR THRU outputs on both channels allow you to send the unprocessed input signal from that channel to another device, such as a main mixing console or another powered speaker. This is useful for creating a separate monitor mix without affecting the main house sound.
8. Vedligeholdelse
- Rensning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
- Opbevaring: When not in use for extended periods, store the PA6BT in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Ventilation: Sørg for, at ventilationsåbningerne ikke er blokeret for at forhindre overophedning.
- Service: Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Do not attempt to open the unit or perform repairs yourself.
9. Fejlfinding
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Ingen strøm (PWR-LED slukket) | Strømkabel ikke tilsluttet; Strømafbryder slukket; Strømstik defekt. | Sørg for, at strømkablet er korrekt tilsluttet. Tænd for strømmen. Test stikkontakten med en anden enhed. |
| Ingen lydudgang | Volume knobs too low; Input source not connected or muted; Incorrect input selected; Faulty cable. | Increase CHAN 1, CHAN 2, or BT VOL. Check input source connection and volume. Ensure correct input is used. Test with a different cable. |
| Distorted sound / CLIP LED flashing | Input signal too high; EQ settings extreme. | Reduce the volume of the input source. Engage the -20dB Pad switch for the affected channel. Adjust EQ knobs to a more neutral position. |
| Bluetooth ikke parring | PA6BT not in pairing mode; Device too far; Interference; Previously paired with another device. | Ensure PA6BT is powered on. Move device closer. Turn off other Bluetooth devices. Forget PA6BT from your device's Bluetooth list and try pairing again. |
| Feedback (hylende lyd) | Microphone too close to speaker; Microphone gain too high; Speaker pointed directly at microphone. | Reposition the microphone and speaker. Reduce microphone gain. Adjust EQ settings (especially MID/HI). |
