Make sure to: · Place the speaker on a level, stable surface that is solid and secure. Make certain they are 3-conductor cables of suitable gauge and they are properly grounded to avoid electrical hazards and extraneous noise. Under high signal conditions, the Live X loudspeaker amplifier can draw 1. 0 amps of current at 120V, or 0. 6 amps at 230V. Be cautious of what else is plugged into the same electrical service line to avoid electrical problems and poor performance. If the LED is not lit upon turning the power on, make sure that the AC cord is correctly connected and the outlet is properly working. XLR/TRS INPUT Electronically balanced input for the connection of high-level signal sources like mixing consoles or signal processors. Connections can be established using 1/4" TRS or XLR-type connectors. INPUT 2 will accept a microphone input if MIC/LINE switch is depressed. MIC / LINE When depressed, activates a microphone preamp for use with dynamic microphones. Do not plug a line level signal into INPUT 2 when MIC/LINE is in the mic position. RCA INPUT Stereo unbalanced RCA inputs for connecting sources such as CD players or MP3 players. INPUT LEVEL Level control for adjusting the individual input's amplification. The level control affects the volume of the individual input section. 10 Electro-Voice Live X Series Powered Owner's Manual Amplifier Controls (cont') FULL RANGE / WITH SUB When switched to WITH SUB, activates a 100 Hz highpass for use with a subwoofer. Always select WITH SUB when using the ELX112P/ELX115P with a subwoofer for proper acoustic summation. NORMAL / BOOST The NORMAL/BOOST switch controls the tone of the loudspeaker. NORMAL works best when the loudspeaker is used for vocal monitors or for speech. Boost works best for music playback and applications that require more bass and treble boost. [. . . ] Excessive input level LIMIT LED is conLine level source constantly on or flashing nected to INPUT 2 regularly with MIC/LINE switch in MIC position 7. Source input (mixing console/preamp) is overdriven Incorrect gain structure Verify level controls of the source are properly structured. Reduce the microphone levels at the mixing console or input source. If the microphone is connected directly to the speaker reduce the input level on the speaker. Positioning the microphone close to the sound source will increase gain-beforefeedback. [. . . ]
