TROUBLESHOOTING
Disconnect the devices that are connected
to your speaker one at a time. If the noise
goes away, the problem is with the source
or the connecting cable.
Disconnect or mute channels one at a time
to isolate the problem. Refer to the owner's
manual of the faulty equipment for trouble-
shooting help.
Substitute a known-good cable for the
suspected faulty cable.
"Telescope" the audio ground by suing
an XLR/F to XLR/M adapter on one end.
Re-route audio cables away from AC
power and lighting cables.
Use the balanced outputs (if available)
of your mixer or source equipment to
drive your speakers.
Use a "DI" (direct injection) box to con-
vert your unbalanced equipment output
to a balanced output.
Reduce the INPUT 1,2 and 3 controls and
increase the output level of your source
devices.
Set the MIX/LOOP SWITCH to the MIX
OUT position (depressed). See the
CAUTION in the "Switches" section of this
manual.
Disengage the MIX OUT switch. See the
CAUTION in the down in"Switches"section
of this manual.
Move the speakers so they do not point
the microphone's pickup pattern.
Locate the feedback frequency and reduce
it using the mixer EQ or an external
equalizer.
Reduce the gain at the mixer and move the
microphone closer to the sound source.
