Support for the mains fuse Always replace a blown fuse by one of the same type! 2 Safety Notes The unit corresponds to all relevant directives of the EU and is therefore marked with . WARNING The active speaker system uses dangerous mains voltage. Leave servicing to skilled personnel; inexpert handling may result in electric shock.

The unit is suitable for indoor use only. Protect it against dripping water, splash water and high air humidity. The admissible ambient temperature range is 0 – 40 °C.

Do not place any vessels filled with liquid, e. g. drinking glasses, on the unit.

Immediately disconnect the mains plug from the socket

if the unit or the mains cable is visibly dam- aged,

2. if a defect might have occurred after the

unit was dropped or suffered a similar ac- cident,

3. if malfunctions occur.

In any case the unit must be repaired by skilled personnel.

Never pull the mains cable to disconnect the mains plug from the socket, always seize the plug.

For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth; never use chemicals or water.

No guarantee claims for the unit and no liabil- ity for any resulting personal damage or mate- rial damage will be accepted if the unit is used for other purposes than originally intended, if it is not correctly connected or operated, or if it is not repaired in an expert way. If the unit is to be put out of operation definitively, take it to a local recycling plant for a disposal which is not harm- ful to the environment. 3 Applications and Accessories The 2-way bass-reflex speaker system TXA- 604 / SW with integrated 50 W amplifier is used for monophonic sound applications at lectures and other events. The amplifier is equipped with a receiver module for two wireless microphones and two inputs for audio units and a micro- phone. For mains-independent operation, an in- tegrated rechargeable battery is provided. This battery will be charged as soon as the active speaker system is connected to the mains. Thus, the unit is ideally suited for mobile applications. The jacks LINE LINK (10) can be used to interconnect multiple active speaker systems for sound applications in large zones. A pas- sive 4 Ω speaker system can also be operated in parallel (e. g. the model TXB-602 / SW with a matching design).12 English

3.1 Wireless microphones and

transmitters The following units are available from MONACOR: Type Model Hand-held wireless microphone TXA-800HT Pocket transmitter with tie clip microphone and headband microphone TXA-800HSE Transmitter with line level input for audio signals TXA-800ST

3.2 Conformity and approval

Herewith, MONACOR INTERNATIONAL declare that the active speaker system TXA-604/ SW complies with the directive 2014 / 53 / EU. The EU declaration of conformity is available on the Internet: www.monacor.com The active speaker system is generally approved for operation in EU and EFTA countries; it is licence-free and requires no registration. 4 Setting into Operation

4.1 Setting up the active speaker

system Place the active speaker system as desired or mount it onto a PA speaker stand (e. g. PAST series from MONACOR) via the stand sleeve on its lower side. The unit can be operated inside its transport bag: Unzip the zip fasteners of the flaps covering the speakers, the connections and the operating elements. Fold up the flaps and secure them with hook-and-loop fasteners.

The speaker system is supplied with power via the integrated battery which is charged via the internal charger.

To charge the battery, connect the mains cable provided to the mains jack (20) and con- nect the mains plug to a socket (230 V/ 50 Hz).

2) The LED CHARGE (8) lights up:

red = the battery is being charged green = the charging process has been com- pleted The unit may be operated while its battery is charged; however, as long as the red LED LOW lights up, the full power is not available. To reduce the charging time, switch off the unit with the POWER switch (16).

When the battery has been fully charged, the LED CHARGE lights up in green. At maximum volume, a mains-independent operating time of up to 10 hours will be possible. A lower volume will extend the operating time.

Recharge the battery when the red LED LOW lights up. Important! Always disconnect the mains plug from the socket when the battery has been fully charged (LED CHARGE lights up in green) and the unit is not operated; otherwise, the battery may be damaged.

4.3 Connecting the active speaker system

5.1 Operation of the receiver module

Each receiver unit (A and B) provides a control (2) to adjust the volume and to switch it on and off. The display (1) is divided into two parts: left half for receiver unit A, right half for receiver unit B. When a receiver unit has been switched on, the display will indicate the transmission channel. To briefly indicate the radio frequency, press the button (for unit A) or (for unit B).

5.1.1 Setting the transmission channels

Use the controls (2) to switch on the receiver units. Do not switch on the corresponding trans- mitter for the time being. Channel scan Keep the buttons and (3) simultaneously pressed for approx. 1 second until appears on the display. The scan will start: The receiver units will be set to free channels without mutual interference. If no free channels are found, the channels set will be kept. Manual channel selection If both receiver units A and B are switched on:

Keep the button SET (3) pressed until the channel indication for receiver unit A starts flashing on the display.

Select the channel for receiver unit A with the button or and then confirm with the button SET.

The channel indication for receiver unit B starts flashing on the display. Select the chan- nel for receiver unit B with the button or and then confirm with the button SET. If only one receiver unit A or B is switched on: Keep the button SET pressed until the channel indication starts flashing on the display. Select the channel with the button or and then confirm with the button SET. Notes:

1. The receiver units cannot be set to the same channel.

2. If a channel is not confirmed within 10 seconds with

the button SET, the setting mode will be exited and the channel previously set will be kept.

3. If, with the transmitter switched off, the respec-

tive segment bar A or B on the display indicates reception, interference signals or signals from other transmitters are being received. In this case, select a different channel.

5.1.2 Adjusting the volume

Switch the transmitters on and set them to the channel of receiver unit A and receiver unit B respectively. The respective segment bars on the display will then indicate the strength of the radio signals received. Use the controls (2) to adjust the desired volume for each receiver unit.

5.1.3 Setting the squelch

The squelch function will mute the respective receiver unit when the level of the radio signal falls below the threshold value adjusted. Thus, interference signals will not cause noise when the transmitter is switched off or when its radio signal is insufficient: If the levels of the interfer- ence signals are below the threshold value, the receiver unit will be muted. A high threshold value offers high interference resistance, but it will also reduce the transmission range.

1) Switch off the receiver units A and B. Then

keep the button SET (3) pressed while switch- ing on a receiver unit. The display will indicate or , with the number flashing.14 English

2) Press the button SET to activate the squelch

setting mode: (for “Squelch”) and the current value (flashing) will appear on the display.

Use the button or to set the value (level 7 = highest threshold value). Press the button SET to exit the squelch setting mode. Note: The setting modes will be automatically exited after 5 seconds if no button is pressed. Any settings made will be saved.

The red LED LIMITER (17) lights up when the limiter limits the volume at the maximum un- distorted level. If the LED lights permanently, use the control LEVEL (5 or 11) to reduce the volume.

5.3 Volume attenuation during

microphone announcements During microphone announcements, the volume of the audio unit connected to the jack LINE IN (9) can be attenuated automatically. This will make it easier to understand announcements.

1) Use the switch MUSIC RETURN TIME (13) to

attenuate the volume: LONG After an announcement, the attenua- tion will be deactivated with a delay. OFF no attenuation SHORT After an announcement, the attenua- tion will be deactivated immediately.
