6. Guía de configuración

1. Desempaquetar a unidade: Carefully remove the PA6BT from its packaging and inspect for any signs of damage.
2. Colocación:
   • For personal monitoring, mount the PA6BT onto a standard microphone stand using the included MSA-1 stand adaptor. Ensure the stand is stable.
   • Alternatively, place the unit on a stable, flat surface such as a table or stage chan.

7. Instrucións de funcionamento

7.1 Conexión de fontes de son

• Microphones/Instruments (XLR/1/4" Combo Jacks):
  • Connect your microphone or instrument to either the Channel 1 or Channel 2 MIC input.
  • If using a high-output source, engage the -20dB Pad switch for that channel to prevent input clipping.
  • Slowly increase the corresponding CHAN 1 or CHAN 2 volume knob until the desired level is reached. Monitor the CLIP LED; if it flashes frequently, reduce the input volume or engage the -20dB pad.
• Line-Level Devices (1/8" LINE IN - Channel 2 only):
  • Connect your smartphone, tablet, or other line-level audio device to the 1/8" LINE IN jack on Channel 2.
  • Adjust the BT VOL knob to control the volume of this input.

7.2 Bluetooth Pairing and Operation

1. Ensure the PA6BT is powered on.
2. Activate Bluetooth on your audio device (e.g., smartphone, tablet).
3. Busca available Bluetooth devices. The PA6BT should appear as "Galaxy Audio PA6BT".
4. Select "Galaxy Audio PA6BT" to pair. A confirmation tone may sound from the speaker.
5. Once paired, play audio from your device. Adjust the BT VOL knob on the PA6BT to control the playback volume.

7.3 Using the Equalizer (EQ)

The LOW, MID, and HI knobs allow you to tailor the sound to your preference or acoustic environment:

• BAIXO: Adjusts the bass frequencies. Turn clockwise to boost bass, counter-clockwise to cut.
• MID: Adjusts the midrange frequencies. Turn clockwise to boost mids, counter-clockwise to cut. This is often used to enhance vocal clarity.
• Ola: Adjusts the treble frequencies. Turn clockwise to boost highs, counter-clockwise to cut.

7.4 Compressor/Limiter

The PA6BT features a built-in 18dB compressor/limiter. This circuit automatically reduces the dynamic range of the audio signal, preventing sudden loud peaks from distorting the sound and protecting the speakers from damage. The COMP LED illuminates when the compressor/limiter is active.

7.5 XLR Pass-Through (THRU)

The XLR THRU outputs on both channels allow you to send the unprocessed input signal from that channel to another device, such as a main mixing console or another powered speaker. This is useful for creating a separate monitor mix without affecting the main house sound.

8. Mantemento

• Limpeza: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
• Almacenamento: When not in use for extended periods, store the PA6BT in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Ventilación: Asegúrese de que as aberturas de ventilación non estean bloqueadas para evitar o sobrequecemento.
