Signal Input Connection; A) Stereo Operation; B) Mono Operation - Conrad MPA Livelike Bedienungsanleitung

8. Signal Input Connection

The PA system is equipped with symmetrical XLR plug combination sockets and additionally with asymmetric cinch
connections. The connections selected do not affect function. Only use one connection type at a time, though.
The system can work in stereo operation, with each satellite speaker being supplied with one channel. Here, the satellite
speakers are to be placed separately from each other as described above.
The PA system can be used in mono operation. Here, the two satellite speakers are supplied with one channel signal
and the other channel is output through another PA system. The satellite speakers should be placed close to each
other or on top of each other for this.
When connecting the signal inputs, make sure that the connection cables are neither pinched nor
damaged by sharp edges.
The inputs must only be connected to low-level audio device outputs of audio devices.
The PA system and the device it is connected to must both be switched off during connection.
For the connection of the RCA inputs, only use suitable shielded cinch or XLR or jack-plug lines.
Use of any wrong cables may cause interferences.
To avoid distortion or mismatching that may damage the PA system, only audio devices with a cinch
output may be connected to the cinch inputs of the device. Only devices with XLR or jack outputs
must be connected to the XLR-jack combination inputs.
a) Stereo Operation
• Put the STEREO/MONO (2) in the STEREO position.
• Connect the cinch connections INPUT L/R (9) or the combination connections LINE INPUT LEFT/RIGHT (10) to the
pre-amplifier outputs of the upstream audio device (e.g. mixer).
• Connect the RIGHT or R connection to the right pre-amplifier output and the LEFT or L connection to the left pre-
amplifier output.
b) Mono Operation
• Put the STEREO/MONO (2) in the MONO position.
• Connect the cinch connections LINE INPUT R (9) or the combination connections LINE INPUT RIGHT (10) to the
pre-amplifier output of a channel of the upstream audio device (e.g. mixer).
• Connect the other channel of the upstream audio device to a second PA-system.
• Connect the RIGHT or R connection to the pre-amplifier output of the upstream audio device.
