AmpliVox S905 DJ Equipment User Manual


 
The TRAVEL AUDIO PRO panel has ¼” phone jacks labeled ‘Record/Line Out’ and
‘Line Insert’ respectively. ‘Record/Line Out’ provides a feed from the Mixer stage, but
before this signal goes through the Output stage. In other words, this signal is not affected
by settings on the music/voice switch, treble, bass & master volume controls. It can be
used to drive an external recording device or another audio system.
microphone types, but only one microphone or instrument can be plugged into each
channel at a time.
You can add pre-recorded music during your presentations by using the internal CD or
tape player. In addition, external sources such as a computer or MP3 player can be used
by connecting to the RCA jacks. Channel 3 Volume Control controls the volume for units
connected to these inputs. It is recommended to use only one of these devices at a time.
The advantage to this configuration (pre-EQ & master volume) is that the external
system’s own EQ & volume settings can be separately adjusted to suit its environment
and the two systems do not interact with each other.
RECORD/LINE OUT:
The ‘Line Insert’ jack works in two ways. When no plug is inserted it internally connects
the Mixer to the Output. However, when a plug is inserted it disconnects the Mixer from
the Output, replacing it with the external audio signal from the device the plug’s cable is
attached to. In this configuration, the TRAVEL AUDIO PRO Output stage can be used to
amplify a feed from an external mixer or playback device. For instance, assume a
facility’s main meeting room has a built-in sound system, but the adjoining room for the
overflow crowd has no system. A ‘Line Out’ feed from the house system could be
plugged into the ‘Line Insert’ jack of a TRAVEL AUDIO PRO located in the overflow
room. The TRAVEL AUDIO PRO’s EQ & master volume can then be adjusted to suit
the overflow room’s conditions without any effect on the main system.
This provides the output of the mixer. To record or connect to a house PA system,
External Equalizer, Audio Mixer, or Amplivox S1292 powered companion speaker,
connect the LINE OUT on the amplifier, to the input on an external recorder or PA
system. This jack functions the same as a signal “send”. (See Special Features Section)
LINE INSERT:
Use this jack to supply a signal directly to the power amp. This jack functions as a signal
“return”. Doing so will disconnect the mixer section of the TRAVEL AUDIO PRO and
act as a power amplifier. See the “Special Features” section for more details. This is the
input to use for the return signal from the Output of the Equalizer, Audio Mixer or other
type of audio equipment connected in the paragraph above. (See Special Features
Section)
The other way this pair of jacks can be used is to insert an external device such as a
graphic equalizer, echo/reverb machine or other audio processing device between the
Mixer and Output stages of the TRAVEL AUDIO PRO. The ‘Record/Line Out’ on the
‘905 connects to the ‘Line In’ of the external device and its ‘Line Out’ connects to the
‘905 ‘Line Insert’. Remember from the above discussion that a plug in the ‘Line Insert’
jack breaks the direct internal connection from the Mixer so in effect the external device
is electrically inserted between the 2 stages and becomes a functional block of the
TRAVEL AUDIO PRO.
EXTERNAL SPEAKER OUTPUT:
This input allows for the use of an extra non-powered speaker. Care must be taken when
using an external speaker. The speaker must be of suitable power handling and
impedance. (100 Watts peak at 4 ohms)
FUSES
CAUTION: Improper speaker selection could result in equipment
damage or fire.
There are two fuses in the TRAVEL AUDIO PRO. One is mounted in the Control panel
(10A) next to the power switch and the other is in the AC input receptacle (2A). Replace
them only with fuses of the same size (5x20mm), type and rating!!!
