Be aware of the position of the mic/line switch [6]. Channel 2 may accept Hi-Z sources (such as guitars) via the 1/4" input without the need for a separate DI box or line-level signal via XLR. 8. Thru Output This is a male XLR-type connector that produces exactly the same signal that is connected to the main input jack or a mix of channels 1 and 2. Use it to daisy-chain several DLM loudspeakers together off the same signal source(s). See page 8 to learn more about daisy-chaining DLM loudspeakers. NEVER connect the output of an amplifier directly to the input of the loudspeaker. This could damage the input circuitry of the active loudspeaker. 9. Ch 1/Mix Switch [Thru Output] This switch allows you to choose whether only the channel 1 signal is sent out to the next loudspeaker [switch out - Ch 1] or if a mix of the channel 1 6.

When a DLM loudspeaker is powered up, the last state it was in will load up and the OLED Display will Read the paragraph listed above again... present the channel 1 screen and settings. 30 dB of gain is a lot, so be sure the switch is engaged only if a mic is connected to the channel 1 input! DLM loudspeakers will display a running Running Man screensaver if parameters haven't been changed in awhile. Simply touch one of the DL2 buttons to "wake 7. RCA Inputs [Channel 2 Only] up" the display. The stereo unbalanced RCA inputs allow you to play a CD player, iPod®, or other line-level source. The tape in jacks accept an unbalanced signal using standard hi-fi [RCA] hookup cables. Owner's Manual 11
