Frequently asked questions

Connect the speaker's positive wire to the corresponding + terminal on the mixer-amplifier's output and connect the speaker's negative wire (or common wire) to the COM terminal on the output.

Connect the microphone's positive wire to the corresponding + terminal on the mixer-amplifier's microphone input and connect the microphone's negative wire (or common wire) to the COM terminal on the input.

Use the priority-switch to select which audio source should have priority in each room. For example, you can set the paging microphone to have priority over the CD player. This means that when the paging microphone is activated, the CD player will be muted.

To use the paging feature, simply press the paging microphone's switch and speak into the microphone. Your voice will be broadcast over the speakers. The paging microphone will usually have a priority override to temporarily mute other audio sources.
