Operating
1. If you want to test a passive speaker, connect it to the XLR  or Speakon
output .
2. When using the XLR output, the [Output] button  must be pressed in order to
output an unbalanced signal with speaker level on pin 1 & 2 of the XLR jack.
3. If you want to test an active speaker, ampli er or similar, connect it to the
XLR output.
4. The [Output] button must not be pressed then, so the XLR jack outputs a
balanced line level signal.
5. Switch on the device with the [Power] button  and turn the [Volume] knob 
until you hear a clear tone. The [Volume] knob controls both the XLR and
Speakon output.
6. To test the individual speakers in a multi-way system, you can set the [Frequency]
knob  to an appropriate frequency.
7. After  nishing testing, switch o the device with the [Power] button.
