LINE IN L+R (SEPARATE-COMBINED)
Combines the separate left and right AUX LINE IN channels. This combined signal will be
amplified and appear on both the LEFT and RIGHT channels of the SPEAKER and LINE
OUT OUTPUTS.

player, tape player or computer sound card into the

level.
If using an external wireless receiver, for best sound quality it should be connected to the
LINE IN jack.

connect the LINE OUT on the amplifier to the input on the tape recorder.
SPEAKERS
Two separately amplified speaker jacks (4-8 ohms).
PROBLEM SOLVING
HOWLBACK is the howl or screech often heard in sound reinforcement systems. It is caused
by sound from the loudspeaker returning to the microphone. AmpliVox systems utilize proven
acoustical principles to minimize this; however, there is no way to completely eliminate
howlback under conditions of high amplification. If howlback occurs check the following:
1. User covering the head of the microphone. Hold microphone under head slots.
2. Sound can easily re-enter microphone. Keep loudspeaker turned toward audience. Note:
sound can be reflected from hard surface back through the microphone. [Turn speaker]
3. User holding microphone in a reflecting position. [Turn microphone]
4. Volume setting too high. [Reduce microphone channel volume; compensate by speaking
louder or closer to the microphone.]
NO SOUND
Make sure amplifier POWER switch is turned on and red LED is lit. If switch is on and LED is
not lit, check to see that batteries are properly connected and at full charge. If using optional
power adapter, check to see that front panel connector is properly seated, and verify that power
source is live.
