What does active and passive mean?
Active loudspeakers have at least one amplifier. Passive loudspeakers do not have an amplifier, but are connected to an active loudspeaker in order to obtain increased audio pressure or reach.

|
• |
Why should I use a loudspeaker stand?
The loudspeakers are mounted on stands in order to achieve better sound quality. An ideal position is: loudspeaker height = listeners’ ear level.

Can I use two wireless microphones at the same time on one loudspeaker with one receiver?
It is technically impossible to use two microphones simultaneously with one receiver. Active Sound is therefore one of only a few companies in the world which can supply active loudspeakers with two built-in receivers. Two wireless microphones can be used simultaneously with these models.

|
• |
Why is an extra loudspeaker available and why does this have a cable?
The extra loudspeaker is controlled by the active loudspeaker. It is used to achieve increased audio pressure or better reach. Active Sound is one of the few companies which offer this possibility. It is also possible to use two or more active loudspeakers so that cables are no longer necessary.

How long does the battery pack in the loudspeaker have to be charged?
LEDs on the back should indicate the charging status of the battery pack: red = battery pack being charged and green = battery pack fully charged. After charging the battery packs can be used for eight hours (depending on volume level and whether music or speech is being transmitted).
|
|
| |
|
• |
Can the loudspeaker be connected to the charger for too long?
No. Due to its intelligent configuration the battery pack cannot be overcharged. The power cable should, however, be removed once the battery pack has been charged.

How many loudspeakers do I need for 300 people?
To answer this question properly you need to know whether the equipment is being used indoors or outdoors and whether the audience is “quiet”. The desired results should be able to be achieved with two active and two passive loudspeakers on stands positioned at different places in the room.
|
|
| |
|
• |
Is the loudspeaker rainproof?
Yes, if the waterproof carrying case is used. These cases can be opened partially in specific places.

• |
How far away from the loudspeaker can I go with the microphone?
Our microphone transmitters have a guaranteed reach of 30 meters.
|
|
| |
|
• |
Can the microphone also transmit through walls?
Yes. The wireless microphones can also transmit through walls. The signal can, however, be weaker.

The microphone starts to whistle. What causes this?
This happens to every microphone – regardless of who it is made by or whether it is wireless or not. The sound of the loudspeaker is picked up directly by the microphone, sent to the loudspeaker and is amplified over and over again. This is called feedback or whistling. To solve the problem, simply move away from the loudspeaker.

What does the CE logo on the back of the speaker mean?
With this CE logo the manufacturer guarantees that its product complies with EU Directives for safety, health, environment and consumer protection.
