Important Safety Instructions

DANGER
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably to noise-induced hearing loss but most will lose some hearing if exposed to intense noise for a sufficient period of time.
The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures:

DURATION PER DAY (HOURS) 8 6 4 3 2 1

SOUND LEVEL (dB)

90 93 95 97 100 103

According to OSHA, any exposure in the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canal or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss. If exposure in excess of the limits as put forth above, to insure against potentially harmful exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of inducing high sound pressure levels, such as this amplification
system, be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.

HA300T Mainspeaker Overview
Rear Panel

This is where you may plug in microphones, instruments, keyboards, drum machines or other audio devices and adjust the volume, bass and treble.

1. POWER This turns the HA300T mainspeaker on and off.
2. XLR MIC Input Jack Channel 1-2 Balanced. Appropriate for microphones, or balanced connections from amplifiers or DI boxes.
3. �" LINE Input Jack Channel 1-2 Balanced or unbalanced. Appropriate for instrument or line level equipment connections.
4. AUX IN Channel 3 Unbalanced stereo 3.5mm mini jack input for CD/MP3 players.
5. CHANNEL VOLUME This is the volume control for individual input channels.
6. LOW EQ This is the bass control used to boost or cut low frequencies on the input channel using a low shelf filter with +/- 15dB of boost or cut, below 800Hz. Useful for removing rumble on vocal or acoustic guitar inputs.
7. HIGH EQ This is the treble control used to boost or cut high frequencies on the input channel, using a high shelf filter with +/- 15dB of boost or cut above 4kHz. Useful for adding clarity to vocals or acoustic guitars, or removing hiss or unwanted cymbal pick-up.
8. MASTER VOLUME This knob us used to control the overall output level of the HA300T mainspeaker, and output level to the Subwoofer Out. This does not affect the Link Output or Link Input levels.
9. LINK IN This balanced XLR line input accepts the Link Output from another HA300T.

10. LINK OUT This balanced XLR line output connects to the Link In from another HA300T using a standard Mic cable. Channels from both HA300T's are summed together.
Using Link In and Link Out: Channels from both HA300T's are summed together. Use the channel volume controls to get the mix of the 6 channels (If a channel is not used turn the volume all the way down). MASTER volume controls the loudness of the mix through its HA300T. It does not affect volume of linked HA300T.
NOTE: The shield connection (pin 1) on this jack is connected to chassis ground. It is not lifted.
11. SUBWOOFER OUT This line level, unbalanced �" output sends the low frequency signal to the HA300S powered subwoofer, but will work with any powered subwoofer that accepts a line level input.
Using Subwoofer Out: A crossover is activated when plugging a standard �" mono (tip/ sleeve) plug into this jack. The crossover point is 150Hz. Frequencies 150Hz and below go to subwoofer output jack at all times.
Frequencies 150Hz and above go to HA300T speakers. HA300T speakers are full range when the subwoofer out jack is not used.
NOTE: A standard �" mono (tip/sleeve) SHIELDED instrument cable is recommended as the sleeve connection to ground activates the crossover on HA300T speakers.
12. AC Power Cord Input This is the AC Mains connection. Use only the specified IEC cable or a UL listed replacement IOEC cable and 120V/60Hz outlet.

3. LINE IN Unbalanced �" line input for the HA300S subwoofer. Intended to receive signal from the subwoofer output of the HA300T mainspeaker.
NOTE: DO NOT connect the speaker outputs on a power amp to this jack.

4. LINE OUT Unbalanced �" line output that matches the Line In signal. Use the Line Out jack to link additional HA300S subwoofers.
5. AC Power Cord Input This is the AC Main connection. Use only the specified IEC cable or a UL listed replacement IOEC cable and 120V/60Hz outlet.
