Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not connect a TS2 Series loudspeaker to a power outlet while the grille is removed. Stand-Mounting Always install loudspeakers in accordance with applicable electrical and building codes. Install the loudspeaker according to its maximum weight. Check the specifications of your stand or pole to ensure it can support the loudspeakers weight. Also, observe all safety precautions specified by the manufacturer. Do not mount multiple loudspeakers on the same stand or pole. Always verify that the stand or pole is on a flat, level, and stable surface. Also, fully extend the legs of tripod-style stands, and ensure its legs do not present a trip hazard. Inspect the stand (or pole and associated hardware) before each use and do not use equipment with worn, damaged, or missing parts. Always be cautious in windy, outdoor conditions. You may need to place additional weight (e.g., sandbags) on stands base to improve stability. Do not attach banners or similar items to any part of a loudspeaker system. Such attachments could act as a sail and topple the system. Unless you are confident that you can handle the loudspeakers weight, ask another person to help you lift it onto the stand or pole. Make sure your cables are out of the way of performers, production crew, and audience so they will not trip over them, pulling the loudspeaker off the stand or pole. Sound Level Permanent hearing loss may be caused by exposure to extremely high noise levels. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified permissible exposures to certain noise levels. According to OSHA, exposure to high sound pressure levels (SPL) in excess of these limits may result in hearing loss. When using equipment capable of generating high SPL, use hearing protection while such equipment is under operation.

Example 1 Connect a dynamic microphone to the Input 1 using an XLR or 1/4 (6.35 mm) TRS cable. Connect a guitar with an active pickup to the Input 2 using a 1/4 (6.35 mm) TS or TRS cable (see your guitars documentation for cable requirements). Note: When using the TS2 Series loudspeaker with a guitar, we recommend using one with active pickups rather than passive pickups. If you use a guitar with passive pickups, connect it to an external preamp or direct input (DI) box, and connect the line-level output to the loudspeaker. Also, use dynamic microphones with the TS2 Series loudspeaker rather than condenser microphones. If you use a microphone that requires +48V of phantom power, connect it to an external phantom power supply before connecting it to the loudspeaker. Example 2 Connect the left and right output of your DJ mixer, controller, etc. to Input 1 of each loudspeaker using XLR or 1/4 (6.35 mm) TRS cables. Tip: To send the same mix to both TS2 Series loudspeakers, connect both channels of your DJ mixer, controller, etc. to the Input 1 and Input 2 of one loudspeaker, and then connect that loudspeakers Mix Out to the Input 1 of the other loudspeaker. Both TS2 Series loudspeakers will then play identical summed mono mixes. 4 Features Rear Panel 1. Power Input: Use the included power cable to connect this input to a power outlet. Make sure the speakers power switch is set to off when connecting or disconnecting the cable. fuse with an appropriate 2. Fuse: If the units fuse is broken, lift this tab to replace the fuse. Replace it with a rating
(printed under the units power cable input). Using a fuse with an incorrect rating can damage the unit and/or fuse. 3. Power Switch: Use this switch to power the loudspeaker on/off. Make sure all volume knobs are set to zero before powering it on. 6 6 5 5 4 8 9 10 7 4. Power LED: This light illuminates when 5. 6. the loudspeaker is powered on. Input: Use a standard 1/4 (6.35 mm) TRS or XLR cable (not included) to connect your sound source to each input. Use the input volume knob to adjust the level of each one. Input Volume: Turn this knob to adjust the volume of each input. 1 2 3 7. Mix Out: Use a standard XLR cable (not included) to connect this output to the input of another loudspeaker. The signal sent from this output is a summed mono signal of the two inputs. 8. Signal Limit LED: This light illuminates when a high audio signal level activates the internal protection circuit. The protection circuit dynamically reduces the signal level to avoid audible distortion and to protect the woofer and high-frequency driver from over-
excursion or mechanical damage. If this light is lit constantly, or the sound is distorted, reduce the signal level of your sound source, or lower the volume with the Volume knob. 9. Contour: Engage (depress) this switch to emphasize low and high frequencies by +3 dB. Disengage (raise) the switch for a flatter response for live performance or for maximum output. 10. Ground Switch: Engage (depress) this switch to reduce hum or noise. 5 Appendix (English) Technical Specifications Specifications are subject to change without notice.
