Getting Started – Milan M15B and M18B Subwoofers
1. Turn the
LEVEL
control fully anticlockwise (zero).
2. Connect the left and right outputs from your mixing console to the appropriate input connectors.
3. Switch on the mixing console and make sure the output faders or master output level controls are
turned fully down.
4. Connect the AC mains cable to the Milan subwoofer and turn on the mains switch. The blue
PWR
LED will illuminate to indicate that mains power is connected.
5. Increase the output level of the signal source to a normal operating level.
6. Slowly turn up the Milan subwoofer’s
LEVEL
control until a suitable volume level and balance
with the Milan mid/high loudspeaker is reached. The
SIG
LED illuminates green to indicate
signal present. The
LIM
LED fl ashes red when the system limiting although it is normal for the
LIM
LED to fl ash occasionally. Excessive or prolonged illumination indicates that the input signal is
too high or that additional speakers are required.
7. In the majority of cases where the Milan mid/high loudspeakers are physically in line with
the subwoofers, for example when used on a straight speaker pole above the subwoofer,
the
POLARITY
switch should be set to
NORM
for optimum results. However when the Milan
mid/high loudspeakers are either in front of, or behind, the subwoofers you should experiment
with the
POLARITY
switch and choose whichever position gives the best subjective integration
with the subwoofer.
8. If additional bass response is required the
BOOST
switch provides +3 dB of lift centred at the
frequency selected using the
BOOST FREQ
control.
9. When shutting down the Milan system, fi rst turn down the input level controls, then switch off the
mains power before turning off the mixer or signal source.
