3 Applications
The PAK-10XC, PAK-12XC and PAK-15XC are
powerful active speaker systems in robust plastic
housings. They are suitable for versatile applica-
tions, e. g. for dances, for smaller stages or as
monitor speakers for bands. The 2-way speaker
systems are equipped with class D amplifiers which
have an especially high efficiency.
A line signal can be fed in via the balanced XLR
jack or, in an unbalanced way, via the phono jacks.
In addition, the speaker systems are equipped with
a microphone input. The signal of this input can be
added to the line signal. The signal output will allow
connection of another active speaker system.
The speaker systems are equipped with protec-
tive circuits against overload and overheating.

Setting Up and Connecting

Set up the speaker system on a solid surface, e. g.
on the stage or on a table and position it towards
the audience. The tweeters should be at ear level,
if possible. With its bevelled cabinet shape, the
speaker system can also be used as a stage mon-
itor radiating diagonally upwards. If a microphone
should be used, do not direct the speaker to the
microphone and keep sufficient distance towards
the microphone, otherwise acoustic feedback (loud
howling) may occur.
Alternatively, place the speaker system via the
stand sleeve on its lower side onto a standard
speaker stand with 35 mm tube diameter (e. g. of
the PAST series from "img Stage Line"). After align-
ing the speaker system, tighten the screw (15).
For additional mounting facilities, e. g. suspen-
sion, M8 threaded jacks are recessed into the cab-
inet (two on the upper side and one on the lower
side). To use them, remove the corresponding rub-
ber covers.
Prior to connection or changing existing connec-
tions, switch off the speaker system and the units to
be connected.

4.1 Connecting a signal source

For connection of a signal source with line level
(e. g. CD player, mixer output) there are the follow-
ing possibilities:
– For balanced signals, use the XLR jack (2) [con-
figuration of the pins
– For unbalanced signals, use the phono jacks (3).
When using both phono jacks or the phono jacks
and the XLR jack (2) at the same time, the input
signals are mixed. Thus, when connecting a
stereo signal source, a mono signal is created.
For stereophonic reproduction connect each
stereo channel to an individual speaker system.
A microphone can be connected to the XLR jack
or the 6.3 mm jack MIC IN (1). Both jacks are suit-
able for balanced signals. PAK-15XC: both con-
nections are combined in one jack; to pull out an
XLR plug from this jack, press the PUSH lever. A
microphone with unbalanced output signal may be
connected to the 6.3 mm jack with a two-pole
6.3 mm plug.

4.2 Signal output

The mixed signal of the input signals is available as
a balanced signal with line level at the XLR jack and
at the 6.3 mm jack LINE OUT (4) [connected in par-
allel] to be passed on to another active speaker
system, an amplifier or a recorder. The output sig-
nal is independent of the adjustment of the total vol-
ume control MAIN LEVEL (7).

4.3 Power supply

Connect the supplied mains cable to the mains jack
(13) and the plug to a socket (230 V~ / 50 Hz).
