Mackie SRM1801 Owner's Manual - Page 4

Getting Started The following steps will help you set up your subwoofer(s) quickly. INITIAL SETTINGS: 1. Turn the LEVEL control on the rear panel all the way down. 2. Turn the POWER switch OFF. Now that you have your subwoofers working, it's time to hunker down and read the rest of this manual... especially the following: ADDITIONAL TIDBITS OF WIDSDOM: • Never listen to loud music for prolonged periods. Please see the Safety Instructions on page 2 for information on hearing protection. CONNECTIONS: 1. Connect the line-level signal from a mixer (or other signal source) to the INPUT jack on the SRM1801 rear panel (XLR connector). If you are operating the system in stereo, connect INPUT B, as well. 2. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the IEC socket on the back of the subwoofer. Plug the other end into an AC outlet properly configured with the correct voltage as indicated just above the IEC socket. • When you shut down your equipment, turn off the SRM1801 subwoofers first to prevent thumps and other noises generated by any upstream equipment from coming out the speakers. When powering up, turn on the SRM1801 last, but just before your full-range loudspeakers. • Save the shipping boxes and packing materials! You may need them someday. Besides, your cat will love playing in them and jumping out at you unexpectedly. Remember to pretend like you are surprised! TURN IT ON: • Save your sales receipt in a safe place. 1. Turn the POWER switch ON. 2. Start your signal source (mp3 player, CD, DAW, band, or whatever), but leave the master level control on your mixer down. 3. Slowly turn up the LEVEL control on the SRM1801 to the "U" (unity gain) mark at the center position. 4. Adjust the master volume on your mixer to a comfortably loud listening level. If the volume from the subwoofer gets really loud, really fast, try turning down the LEVEL control on the SRM1801 a bit. If the subwoofers don't get loud enough, turn up the LEVEL control to achieve a good balance of master volume control and loudness from the subwoofer. • Record the serial number in the space provided on page 3, along with where and when you bought it.
