IMG STAGELINE PAK-15DMP (01) PDF DOCUMENT

The unit corresponds to all relevant directives of the EU and is therefore marked with CE.

WARNING: The unit uses dangerous mains voltage. Leave servicing to skilled personnel only. Inexpert handling or modification of the unit may result in electric shock.

The unit is suitable for indoor use only. Protect it against dripping water and splash water, high air humidity and heat (admissible ambient temperature range: 0-40°C).

Do not place any vessel filled with liquid on the unit, e. g. a drinking glass.

The heat produced inside the speaker system must be dissipated by the cooling fins (models PAK-10DMP, PAK-12DMP and PAK-15DMP); therefore, never cover the cooling fins. Never place the speaker system directly on a wall; always keep a corresponding distance.

Immediately disconnect the mains plug from the socket:

1. if the unit or the mains cable is visibly damaged,

2. if a defect might have occurred after the unit was dropped or suffered a similar accident,

3. if malfunctions occur.

In any case the units must be repaired by skilled personnel.

Never pull the mains cable to disconnect the mains plug from the socket, always seize the plug.

For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth; never use water or chemicals.

No guarantee claims for the unit and no liability for any resulting personal damage or material damage will be accepted if the unit is used for other purposes than originally intended, if it is not correctly connected or operated, or if it is not repaired in an expert way.

If the unit is to be put out of operation definitively, take it to a local recycling plant for a disposal which is not harmful to the environment.

Place the speaker system on a solid surface and align it towards the audience. Place the tweeters at ear level, if possible. Models PAK-12DMP and PAK-15DMP are equipped with additional feet at the lateral handles and can also be operated horizontally as stage monitors; in this position, sound will be radiated diagonally upwards.

Alternatively, place the speaker system via the stand sleeve on its lower side on a standard speaker stand with a tube diameter of 35 mm (e. g. from the PAST series of IMG STAGELINE). For additional mounting options, e. g. suspension, the upper and lower sides of the cabinet are provided with M8 threaded jacks. To use these jacks, remove the cover caps.

For units with cooling fins on the rear: Set up the speaker systems in such a way that air will be able to flow freely through the cooling fins; otherwise, there may be overheating and the protective circuit will mute the sound.

Before making or changing any connections, switch off the speaker system and the units to be connected.

1) To connect a microphone, use the XLR jack or 6.3 mm jack MIC (/LINE) IN. For models PAK-8DMP/-10DMP: Engage the button LINE/MIC next to the 6.3 mm jack to increase the input amplification for microphone signals.

2) To connect an audio unit with line output (e.g. mixer, CD player, microphone preamplifier, active speaker system), use one of the input jacks:

• 3.5 mm jack AUX

• RCA jacks LINE IN L/R

• XLR jack LINE IN (only for PAK-12DMP and PAK-15DMP)

3) For models PAK-8DMP/-10DMP: The 6.3 mm jack or XLR jack MIC/LINE IN can be used to connect a second audio unit instead of a microphone. Disengage the button LINE/MIC next to the 6.3 mm jack to match the input amplification for line signals.

4) If an additional active speaker system is required for PA applications of larger zones, connect the line input of this speaker system to the XLR output MIX OUT. Alternatively, connect a recorder to this jack.

5) For power supply, use the mains cable provided to connect the mains jack on the rear to a mains socket (230 V/50 Hz).

The remote control for the MP3 player/radio/Bluetooth module is supplied with a battery. Before the first operation, remove the protective film from the battery holder. When you press a button on the remote control, always point the remote control at the front of the speaker system. Make sure that there are no obstacles between the speaker system and the remote control.

If the remote control is not in use for a longer period of time, always remove the battery to prevent damage due to battery leakage.

1) Push the latch of the battery support to the right and pull out the support.

2) Remove the discharged battery and insert the new battery (3V button cell of the type CR2025) into the support, positive pole facing up.

3) Push the support back into the remote control.

Never put discharged batteries in the household waste. To protect the environment, always take them to a special waste disposal, e. g. collection container at your retailer.

1) To switch on the speaker system, use the mains switch POWER. The display will briefly show “HI” and the green LED ON will light up.

2) Use the controls LEVEL 1 and LEVEL 2 to adjust the desired volume for the microphone connected and/or for the units connected. Use the control MP3/BT/FM LEVEL to adjust the volume for the MP3 player/radio/Bluetooth module. If the module or an input is not used, set the corresponding control to MIN.

CAUTION: Never adjust a very high volume. Permanent high volumes may damage your hearing! Your ear will get accustomed to high volumes which do not seem to be that high after some time. Therefore, do not further increase a high volume after getting used to it.

3) For the IMG STAGELINE PAK-15DMP model: Use the control MASTER LEVEL to additionally adjust the total volume of all mixed signals. However, this will not affect the output level of the jack MIX OUT.

4) Use the controls TREBLE and BASS to adjust the sound. This will not affect the sound of the output signal of the jack MIX OUT.

5) If the red LED CLIP lights up, the volume is too high which will result in distortion. If the LED keeps lighting and there is substantial distortion, the speakers may be damaged. When the LED CLIP lights up, turn back the corresponding control.

To switch on the module, use the button MODE, if necessary: Keep the button pressed for 2 seconds. All control options can be found in the adjacent table.

To replay MP3 files, connect a USB flash drive or a hard disk with separate power supply to the USB port and/or insert a memory card into the slot SD, notched corner facing upwards and towards the unit. To remove the card, push the card into the slot until it disengages.

Note: Due to the large number of storage device manufacturers and device drivers, it cannot be guaranteed that all storage media are compatible with the MP3 player.
