If

the

red

pilot

light

doesn't

light

when

the

power

switch

is

turned

"on,"

verify

that

the

AC

cord

is

plugged

into

an

operating

outlet

and

that

the

fuse

is

instal

led

and

operable.

If

in

doubt

try

a

new

fuse.

If

there

is

no

sound:

Verify

that

the

"STANDBY"

switch

is

in

the

"ON"

position.

Check

the

volume

control

on

the

channels

in

use

and

the

Master

Volume

Control.

At

the

"1"

setting,

the

volume

is

off.

Inspect

the

microphone

and

speaker

plugs

for

positioning

in

their

respec-

tive

jacks.

If

the

microphone

you

are

using

has

an

on/off

switch,

be

sure

this

switch

is

in

the

"on"

position.

Check

for

bad

connections

or

broken

lines

or

connectors

between

the

major

components

of

the

P.A.

system.

Minimizing

Feedback

Acoustic

feedback

is

the

condition

which

occurs

when

the

microphone

picks

up

a

sound

from

the

speakers

and

the

sound

is

reamplified

over

and

over

unti

l

it

builds

into

a

loud,

ear-splitting

roar.

This

con-

dition

can

develop

with

any

Public

Address

System.

A

room

wi

ll

have

a

maximum

volume

level

and

when

the

volume

is

increased

above

that

level

feedback

will

result.

The

following

suggestions

will

in-

crease

the

volume

which

can

be

used

in

any

given

area

without

feedback

resulting.

Use

a

high

quality

uni-directional

micro-

phone

of

a

high

impedance

dynamic

type.

Experiment

with

the

placement

of

the

speakers

and

microphone

in

each

room

where

the

system

is

to

be

used.

Placing

the

speakers

in

front

of

the

micro-

phone

is

a

good

place

to

start.

Tone

control

settings

are

most

im-

portant

when

using

the

Vocal

Sound

System.

Careful

checking

of

various

tone

settings

wil

l

often

improve

cov-

erage

and

increase

the

intelligibility

factor.
