Milan Series
Connecting to the Milan Loudspeaker
1.
Mains Connector and Fuseholder
Mains power is connected to the loudspeaker
via a combination IEC connector and fuseholder.
2.
Mains Switch
Rocker switch turns mains power on to the
loudspeaker. Make sure the level controls are
fully off (MIN) before switching on.
3.
Signal Input
These combo female XLR/jack connectors
accept both XLR connectors and mono
(2 pole) or stereo (3 pole) ¼" jack plugs for use
with a variety of balanced and unbalanced
microphones, instruments and line sources.
The inputs are electronically balanced to avoid
hum loops and RF interference, and are wired
pin 2 hot, pin 3 cold.
100 Hz Low Cut Switch
This low cut fi lter can be switched in when
using the Milan loudspeaker with subwoofers
or when used as a fl oor monitor. It introduces
a fourth order low cut fi lter in the lower part of
the frequency response at 100 Hz, and is useful
to avoid boominess due to proximity to the
fl oor when the loudspeaker is used as a fl oor
monitor. The low cut should also be selected
when used with sub-bass loudspeakers
and allows bass frequencies to be routed
appropriately to the sub-bass speakers,
avoiding an overlap, and giving greater clarity and defi nition to the overall sound.
4.
Mix Out
A balanced line level signal output on a balanced male XLR connector that connects to additional
powered Milan loudspeakers. This output contains a mix of all connected sources and is post-EQ,
although it is independent of the 100 Hz low cut switch. Note that adjusting equalisation will
similarly affect any additional Milan loudspeakers connected to this output.
5.
Program Switch
Sets a frequency response contour optimised for either voices or mixed music program material.
6.
Treble Control
The treble control provides ±6 dB of shelving at 12 kHz. Always use equalisation sparingly, aiming to
cut rather than boost especially when the loudspeaker is used near boundaries such as walls or fl oors.
