SPEAKER SYSTEM ENGLISH // DESCRIPTION The Gemini PA-300BT Portable Line Array Speaker System is an easily transportable speaker system comprised of (6) 2.75” glass ber high-frequency drivers, an 8” high- excursion low frequency driver, and dual integrated ampliers. This easy-to-use system is highly portable and produces incredible high-delity sound with the kind of dispersion only possible with an array. Perfect for artists, entertainers, or DJs, the PA-300BT delivers pro PA performance in large or small venues alike. With additional features like integrated DSP, reverb effect, and Bluetooth streaming support, it’s the ultimate entertainment solution for any gathering. ASSEMBLY A. Subwoofer with integrated electronics for all system components. B./C. Two identical spacers with connectors on bottom and top. D. Column element with the speakers and a connection on the bottom. Once the subwoofer is placed in the desired location, plug the spacers into the subwoofer and then add the column element with the speakers. Depending on the application, the column element with the speakers can be installed with only 0, 1 or 2 spacers on the subwoofer.

CHANGING THE AC VOLTAGE

To change the operational voltage on the PA-300BT, rst power the unit OFF and disconnect power and signal lines, then move the clear switch cover to access the red AC Voltage Switch. Finally, move the switch left or right to select the correct voltage for your area. POWERING ON Make sure the PA-300BT is fully assembled, any required inputs and outputs are connected, and mains power is connected. Turn all volumes down, then switch power ON.

CONNECTING EXTERNAL DEVICES

Before connecting an input device to the PA- 300BT, please make sure all input volumes and the master volume are turned down. WIRED MICROPHONES Locate mixer channels 1 and 2 on the rear panel of the unit. Both channels have a “Combo Jack”, allowing you to connect either an XLR or 6.5mm TRS cable to the input. Switch the channel to MIC level and connect your microphone. Note: The PA-300BT does not supply phantom power.5

Mixer channels 1 and 2 on the rear panel of the unit are used to connect balanced line sources as well as microphones. Switch the channel to LINE level and connect your device. This type of connection would typically be used to connect professional gear like mixers or electronic instruments. AUX INPUT Locate mixer channel 3/4 and nd at the bottom a 3.5mm TRS Jack. This type of connection is commonly used to connect the unit to the headphones output of a mobile device. RCA INPUT Just above the AUX Jack on mixer channel 3/4 are the RCA jacks. This type of connection is typically used to connect devices like CD or DVD players. Note: Left and right channels are color coded white and red. BLUETOOTH PAIRING

• The PA-300BT can accept streaming audio from any Bluetooth-equipped portable device. First, make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your portable device. Locate channels 3/4 on the back of the PA-300BT and press the BLUETOOTH button. You will hear a tone and a blue LED will begin to ash to indicate the unit is in PAIRING mode.

• On your mobile device, search for a Bluetooth device called “PA-300BT” and select it to pair. Once pairing is complete, you will hear another series of tones, and the blue LED will light solid. Your mobile device is now connected and ready to stream music. ADDITIONAL SPEAKER If you would like to connect another speaker to the PA-300BT (for instance, another PA-300BT to form a stereo pair), rst locate the MIC OUT XLR Jack on the rear of the unit. Connect a standard XLR cable from the MIX OUT Jack to the input of the additional speaker.

USING THE INTERNAL MIXER

MASTER VOLUME The master volume is the main volume control on the PA-300BT. Use it to control the overall level of the PA-300BT.

This LED is located directly underneath the MASTER VOLUME knob. When the PA- 300BT is powered on, this LED will light green. While the unit is operational, if this LED lights red that indicates the unit is being overdriven and the volume should be turned down immediately. CHANNEL VOLUMES At the top of each mixer channel is the LEVEL or VOLUME CONTROL for that channel. These knobs control the relative volume of that channel only. So, if you wanted to (for instance) lower the level of the AUX IN in relation to one of the microphones, you would turn down the LEVEL of channel 3.

These switches, located under the volume controls for channels 1 and 2, are used to set the input to the appropriate level for the connected device. If plugging in a mic, set the switch to MIC (and vice versa). REVERB SWITCH On mixer channels 1 and 2 there is a REVERB ON/OFF switch. When in the ON position, a reverb effect is added to that channel. This is commonly used on microphones and acoustic instruments to add more depth.

This knob, located under the MASTER VOLUME knob, controls the strength of the reverb effect. Turning this knob clockwise increases the strength of the reverb. DSP PRESETS The PA-300BT DSP is like a computerized EQ with presets. The PRESET DSP button allows you to change between music, live, Hi Fi or speech presets. OUT
