VA20WB VoiceAmp® REVEL
™ Quick Use Guide
1. Plug in the battery charger to charge the battery:
The VoiceAmp® REVEL
™ will ONLY operate
under battery power. FULLY charge the on-board lithium battery pack before using. To charge the
battery, plug the included ARG-PS006 battery charger to the power charging jack located on the side
of the speaker (the silver jack secured with a hex-nut.) Plug the other end into a 110-125V AC outlet.
The LED indicator on the battery charger will illuminate RED while in the charge cycle; once the
battery is fully charged the LED on the battery charger will turn GREEN to indicate the battery is fully
charged.
Note: The VA20WB speaker can operate for 8+ hours on average when using a fully
charged battery at a medium volume level. Battery life is directly related to the volume level; the
louder the level, the higher the current consumption resulting in less operation time.
IMPORTANT:
The battery can only be removed/serviced by a factory trained technician.
2. Disconnect the battery charger from the speaker:
The VA20WB portable amplifier will NOT
function when the battery charger is plugged in. You MUST disconnect the battery charger for the
speaker before it can be used.
3. Prepare the VoiceAmp® REVEL
™ for use:
a. Slide the speaker into the padded carrying case and fasten the Velcro strips to securely hold in
place.
b. Attach the waistband or shoulder straps onto the carrying case depending on use or personal
preference. For the best possible coverage and to produce balanced audio for your entire
audience, the speaker should face toward the crowd. To reduce the risk of feedback, position the
speaker so it will not be directly in front of the headworn microphone. Avoid leaning or bending so
the microphone is directly in front of the speaker.
4. Connect the headworn microphone:
Plug the microphone into the MIC/Line Input Jack. Adjust the
headpiece to position on your head with the flexible microphone a few inches from your mouth.
5. Power-up and use the VoiceAmp® REVEL
™:
a. Rotate the ON/OFF/Audio Level Control clockwise to turn unit on. You will hear a click and the
power/battery status LED will illuminate GREEN. The VA20WB speaker can operate an average
of 8 hours on a FULLY charged battery. The battery life is directly related to the loud ness of the
speaker. The louder the volume, the higher the current consumption resulting in less battery life.
When the battery level gets low, the LED power/battery status indicator will turn RED and begin
to flash. From this point you will have approximately 1 hour of battery life before the system
powers off.
b. Continue to turn the knob clockwise to adjust the volume level to desired loudness. Set the
volume at the lowest level that allows the audience to hear your voice clearly. Remember, the
higher the volume level, the shorter the battery life. Also, the louder the speaker is set to, the
more likely it is to produce feedback. Use your judgment when setting the output level to balance
the loudness with trying to conserve battery life while reducing the risk of feedback.
6. Power-down and store:
When finished using the VA20WB VoiceAmp® REVEL
™, rotate the
ON/OFF/Audio Level control knob counter-
clockwise until it “clicks” to turn the unit off. Remember to
connect the battery charger before storing in order for the unit to be fully charged for the next use.
