FONCTIONS FRANÇAIS //

The Gemini WRX-843 Modular Line-Array Speaker System is an easily transportable speaker system comprised of (6) 2.75" glass fiber high-frequency drivers, an 8" high-excursion low frequency driver, and dual integrated amplifiers. This easy-to-use system is highly portable and produces incredible high-fidelity sound with the kind of dispersion only possible with an array. Perfect for artists, entertainers, or DJs, the WRX-843 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 opened with only one spacer on the subwoofer.

CHANGING THE AC VOLTAGE

To change the operational voltage on the WRX-843, first 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 WRX-843 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 WRX-843, 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 WRX-843 does not supply phantom power.

BALANCED LINE LEVEL SOURCE

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 electronic instruments.

AUX INPUT

Locate mixer channel 3/4 and find 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 WRX-843 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 WRX-843 and press the BLUETOOTH button. You will hear a tone and a blue LED will begin to flash to indicate the unit is in PAIRING mode.

• On your mobile device, search for a Bluetooth device called "WRX-843" 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 WRX-843 (for instance, another WRX-843 to form a stereo pair), first 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 WRX-843. Use it to control the overall level of the WRX-843.

POWER/LIMITLED

This LED is located directly underneath the MASTER VOLUME knob. When the WRX-843 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.

MIC/LINE SWITCH

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.

REVERB AMOUNT KNOB

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 WRX-843 DSP is like a computerized EQ with presets. The PRESET DSP button allows you to change between these presets.
