Setting Up Your Power Gig Professional Sound System Your Power Gig is set up to produce the full spectrum of sound from its woofer and tweeter horn combination. The lower frequencies seek out the floor of the room they are playing and travel along the floor and walls. The tweeter horn is more directional. Hence when setting up your system its more important to make sure that the tweeter horns are not blocked by any furniture and are located / aimed at ear level to the listening audience.
e. d - o y 1. Choose a microphone with high directivity, i.e. cardioid or hyper-cardioid polar pattern. 2. Never point the microphone directly down in front of the speaker. Holding the micro phone in normal position will allow you to be closer to the stage monitor with out feed back. 3. See illustration below as to position of microphones when mounted in stand. Cardiod polar patter microphones should always be at a 90 degree angle to the axis of the stage monitor.
3. Keep Master Volume at 0 position. 4. Turn Mic Volume to 0 position. 5. Switch on the Power Gig unit. 6. Slowly turn microphone volume in clockwise rotation until you achieve appropriate gain setting. This is determined by the CLIP LED indicator light. Proper function is achieved when the CLIP indicator lights up at peak levels, it should never be in constant on position. 7. The above adjustment matched the microphone preamp to the input gain of the Power Gig unit. 8.
n d . Line Out Balanced Connection. The XLR / 1/4" TRS jack marked Line Out Bal allows for daisy chaining of signals from one Power Gig unit to another. Simply attach an XLR or 1/4" to RCA cable between the two units to share signals. The input into Power Gig #2 should go to the LINE IN XLR or RCA BAL input. You can even choose to use Power Gig # 1 for microphone inputs and Power Gig #2 for musical instrument inputs and mix the two units together.

Line Input Feature You can use the Line Input function when you wish to hook up an additional stereo signal source without the use of a mixer console. CD players, DVD music players, MP3 players etc can be plugged directly in to the RCA jacks labeled LINE INPUT. To connect a CD, DVD music player or MP3 player. 1. Turning your Power Gig unit to OFF position. 2. Turn Master Volume to 0 position. 3. Turn GAIN control to 0 position. 4. Connect the music source unit to the RCA jacks marked Line Input. 5.
Keyboard Amplification While guitarists and bassists have their own amplifiers to ensure that the volume produced by their instrument matches that of the other sound sources on stage, keyboards and synthesizers are a different story. They usually have no built-in speakers which means they need an external sound source. The Power Gig unit allows for the connection and mixing of two keyboards.
r Front Side Peak Level Limiter Your Power Gig unit features a blue LED on the cabinet front to the left of the woofer. This LED is not a clip indicator but a system level meter. You do not have to be concerned if this LED lights steadily or blinks, it is simply monitoring your musical output and indicating to you proper function of the Power Gig unit. Trouble Shooting UNIT FAILS TO POWER UP. 1. Make sure unit is plugged in properly to wall outlet. 2.
