Frequently Asked Questions - VMA1120 JBL

How to connect the VMA1120 system?

Connect the extension speaker to the master speaker using the supplied cable (red sleeve to red terminal). Plug the power supply into the Power connector on the master speaker. Connect your audio source to the XLR/jack combo or RCA inputs. Finally, set the POWER switch to ON.

Why is the red LED on the front blinking?

The red LED blinks when the system approaches thermal protection mode. Reduce the volume to avoid standby. If it stays solid, turn off the unit, let it cool down, then turn it back on.

Can I use XLR and RCA inputs simultaneously?

No, it is not recommended to connect sources simultaneously to the XLR/jack and RCA inputs as this may affect performance. Use only one type of input at a time.

How to adjust the highs (high frequencies)?

Use the HF ADJUST selector (positions +2 dB, 0 dB, -2 dB) located on the back of the master speaker to adjust the high-frequency level according to your preferences or room acoustics.

What to do if no sound comes from the speakers?

Check that the white ON LED is lit, the volume is not turned fully left, the audio source is active, and the extension cable is properly connected (red to red). If the red LED blinks, lower the volume and restart.

How to use the headphone output?

Connect headphones to the 3.5 mm mini-jack output on the side of the master speaker. When headphones are connected, the speakers are automatically muted. Be careful of high volume levels to protect your hearing.

What optional accessories are available?

The MTC-2P wall-mount kit allows mounting the speakers on the wall. It includes two brackets, a key, a power supply holder, and instructions.

Can I mount the speakers on the wall?

Yes, using the optional MTC-2P kit. The speakers have a 1/4''-20 threaded mounting point. Also use the supplied safety hook and an appropriate safety cable.

What are the important safety precautions?

Do not expose the device to water or moisture. Clean only with a dry cloth. Disconnect during storms or prolonged non-use. Have repairs done by qualified technicians.

How to clean the VMA1120?

Use a soft dry cloth. Do not use water, solvents, or abrasive products. Do not block the ventilation openings.

4. MASTER XLR/1/4" INPUT - A combination XLR and TRS balanced line-level input. 3-pin XLR or 1 / 4'' TRS connectors can be connected to this jack. Note: if a signal is connected to this jack only, sound will only emanate from the Control 2P Master loudspeaker. Signal will not be fed to both loudspeakers.
5. EXTENSION SPEAKER XLR/1/4" INPUT - A combination XLR and TRS balanced line-level input. 3-pin XLR or 1/4" TRS connectors can be connected to this jack.

Applications

Recording/ Video Production

The Control 2P adds accurate monitoring to professional desk-top recording and video production systems. Connect a pair of headphones to the master speaker headphone jack for private monitoring.

Entertainment Installation

With the optional MTC-2P kit, the Control 2P can be wall-mounted to provide professional quality audio for home and office entertainment installations.

AV Presentations

A pair of Control 2P compact powered monitors, a portable projector and a laptop computer, make a "go-anywhere" presentation system.

Electronic Musical Instruments

The Control 2P has the input connectors and the power to reproduce a wide range of signal sources including electronic Musical Instruments.

• For desk-top applications, attach a supplied angle pedestal to the bottom of each speaker as shown.
• Position speakers on a desk-top or secure surface. The Control 2P can be wall-mounted using optional MTC-2P mounting kit.*
• Connect the C2P extension speaker to the master speaker using the supplied extension speaker wire as illustrated. To ensure proper polarity, connect wire with red sleeve to the red speaker terminal.
• Connect the Control 2P power supply to the Control 2P Master Loudspeaker Power Connector.
• Connect the signal source to the inputs of the Control 2P Master Loudspeaker. Do not simultaneously connect sources to the RCA inputs and the XLR/1/4" inputs. Doing so may compromise performance.
• Set the POWER SWITCH to the ON position.
• With the sound source producing signal, set the volume control to achieve a suitable listening level.

Trouble Shooting

If there is no sound from your speakers, check these settings on the C2P Master Speaker:

• Make sure a signal source is connected and producing sound
• Make sure the white power ON LED is illuminated on the front of the speaker.
• Confirm the included power supply is connected and the power switch is set to the ON position.
• Make sure the volume control is not set to the full counter clockwise position
• If the C2P Extension Speaker does not produce sound, make sure the extension speaker wire 1/4'' plug is connected to the EXTENSION SPEAKER 1/4'' output connector. Make sure the bare-wire end of the cable is connected to the extension speaker wire terminals.
• If the system sounds as if it lacks low frequency (bass) performance, confirm the bare wire is connected so the RED wire is connected to the RED speaker wire terminal, and the other wire is connected to the BLACK speaker wire terminal.

If the above measures do not correct the problem, please contact JBL Professional

NOTE: If the red LED on the front of the speaker flashes due to continuous over-driving of the system, overload-protection may be activated and no sound will be heard. To resume operation, reduce system volume, turn the power switch OFF and then ON again.
