Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing the Nowsonic Roadtrip 52! Roadt-
rip 52 is an extremely compact and portable sound system with an in-
tegrated 7 channel mixer that can also be powered via internal battery
modules instead of the mains supply. The audio sources for the mixer
are the supplied UHF wireless microphone, the internal Bluetooth re-
ceiver or a USB device, an iPhone/iPod/iPad, a stereo line device and a
mono feed like a microphone or instrument.
Roadtrip 52 is equipped with an UHF receiver that is perfectly mat-
ched to the supplied UHF wireless microphone. In addition, Roadtrip
52 integrates a Bluetooth receiver for wireless reception of audio data
from any external Bluetooth devices like an laptop or Android smart-
phone. Alternatively connect an USB audio stick or the supplied card
reader to play back the MP3 tracks stored on it. The Docking station on
the upper side of Roadtrip 52 allows to insert and individually set the
volume of an iPhone, iPod, or iPad: Using the supplied remote control,
you can control the playback functions amongst others.
In addition, you can connect a microphone or an instrument as well
as a stereo source via two RCA sockets. The signals are reinforced via
the internal high-efficiency class D amplifier and the 2-way speaker
system. Thanks to the built-in battery modules you can use Roadtrip
52 for sound reinforcement even when no power supply is available:
Thanks to the high capacity, up to 12 hours continuous operation is
possible. The enclosure is made of rugged ABS plastic and features a
metal grille on the front to protect the 8" full range speaker.
Whether you are a musician or songwriter looking for a compact so-
lution for small gigs or a portable amplifier for presentation, parties or
educational applications – Roadtrip 52 is always the right choice.
Please take your time to read these instructions carefully in order to
operate Roadtrip 52 properly.
Please check the unit after unpacking for any damages. In case the
housing is visibly damaged, please do not operate the unit, but con-
tact your local dealer from whom you have purchased it.
