Assembling Your Power Gig Professional Sound System
Stands
1. Remove the stands from their packaging and examine them to ensure that they are in
proper working order.
2. Loosen up the adjustment knob (fig. a) and spread the legs to the desired width
(fig. b). We recommend spreading the legs to the point that the support bars are par-
allel with the floor. Re-tighten the leg adjustment knob so that the legs are securely
positioned (fig. c). Do not overtighten.
fig. a fig. b fig. C
3. Loosen the stand extension by loosening the locking knob (fig. d). Lift the exten-
sion to the desired height (fig. €). Now insert the safety detent pin (fig. f). Make sure
the pin goes all the way through the extension pole (fig. g). If you retighten the locking
knob, do not overtighten it.

Mounting the Speaker
1. Unpack the speakers from their packaging. Check for any visible damage.
2. Carefully lift the speaker above the stand, lining up the extension pole with the
mounting hole at the bottom of the speaker (fig. h). This step may require a second
person for assistance.

3. Once the speaker is mounted on the stand, secure it by tightening the locking
knob located behind the pole opening at the bottom the speaker (fig. i).

Connecting the Passive Speaker
To connect the passive speaker to the active unit, use the included 44" to 4” cable. Con-
nect one end of the cable to the %' port on the active unit marked Speaker Out (fig. |). Now
connect the other end to the 4" port on the passive unit marked Speaker In (fig. k). Make
sure that the power to the active unit is turned off before you connect the passive unit.

Setting Up Your Power Gig Professional Sound System
Your Power Gig is set up to produce the full spectrum of sound from its woofer and
tweeter horn combination. The lower frequencies seek out the floor of the room that they
are playing in and travel along the floor and walls. The tweeter horn is more directional.
Hence when setting up your system its more important to make sure that the tweeter
horns are not blocked by any furniture and are located / aimed at ear level to the listening
audience. Woofer aiming is not as critical as explained previously due to the nature of the
woofer sounds able to travel through various paths even when blocked.
It is therefore recommended that when setting up your system you set up your speakers
on provided stands so that the tweeter sounds will radiate above the listening crowd. This
Will guarantee optimum sound dispersion and achieve clear vocal sound reproduction.

How To Avoid Irritating Feedback
The placement of your microphone is critical in avoiding feedback through your Power
Gig system. Never set up your microphone in front of the speaker. Always set up your mi-
crophone behind the speaker. When approaching the speaker to make any adjustments,
we recommend approaching the speaker from the rear and not walking directly towards
the front of the speaker.

Setting Level Controls
It is best practice to set your input level controls (gains) in this manner:
N 1. Unplug all inputs except for the one you wish to set the
gain for. In this instance, the Line In RCA inputs.
2. Set the line level input device volume (smart phone,
tablet, MP3 player, etc.) to 60%.

ROCKVILLE
3. Keep Volume at O position.
4. Turn Mic Level to O position.
5. Switch on the Power Gig unit.
6. Slowly turn Mic Level clockwise until you achieve appropriate volume setting. This
is determined by the CLIP LED indicator light. Proper function is achieved when the
CLIP indicator lights up at peak levels, it should never be in constant on position.
7. The above adjustment matched the microphone preamp to the input volume of the
Power Gig unit.
8. Now turn up the Volume to necessary loudness by rotating clockwise.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM SOLUTION
No power 1. Make sure the unit is plugged in and the power switch is in the
ON position.
2. Check that the power cable is plugged in tightly to the unit.
3. Check and replace the fuse if necessary. See fuse replacement
diagram on the facing page.
4. If people or equipment tend to step and roll over or stretch
your power cable it can get damaged. Always try a second cable
to test for shorts in original cable. Dispose of original damaged
power cables immediately.
No sound/
