Applying Power
1�
Ensure your power amplifiers or powered speakers are turned off.
2�
Make sure that the included IEC power cable provided with your PA2 has the proper connector for connection to your
AC power outlet and that the power screening under the IEC power inlet on the back panel of the PA2 matches your
country’s voltage requirements.
3�
Connect the power cable to the AC power inlet on the PA2’s back panel.
4�
Apply power to the PA2 by connecting the other end to an available AC power outlet. Since the PA2 does not have a
power switch, an AC power strip or power conditioner can be used for switching power to the PA2 on and off.
5�
Apply power to your mixer then your power amplifiers or powered speakers.
Note:
When powering up a fully configured and connected PA system, it is advisable to ALWAYS turn on the mixer and
PA2 first then turn on your amplifiers or powered speakers. It’s also a good idea to ensure you’re not passing audio to the
mixer’s outputs (or ensure your mixer’s master faders are all the way down) before applying power to the amplifiers. When
powering down the system, you should ALWAYS power down the amplifiers first, wait about 10 seconds to allow them to
discharge, then power down the mixer and PA2. In other words, every time you use your system, the power amps should be
the last components turned on and the first components turned off.
