8 FRONT P ANEL DESCRIPTION Plugging a guitar straight into a typical line-level input can result in the loss of gain, especially at high frequencies, r esulting in a dull sound. Normally , you must use a direct box between a guitar and a mixer’s or pr eamplifier’s input, which serves to convert the impedance of the guitar from high to low . Th[...]

9 This is a global phantom power switch and applies 48V to the XLR input connectors on channels 1 and 2. Dynamic microphones, like Shure’ s SM57 and SM58, do not requir e phantom power . However , phantom power will not harm most dynamic microphones should you accidentally plug one in while the phantom power is turned on. Be careful with older ri[...]

11 PLACEMENT The SRM150 compact active P A systems are designed to sit on the floor , a tabletop, or to fit on a standard microphone stand. Y ou can place the SRM150 on the floor and angle it back to use it as a floor monitor . The unique shape of the cabinet provides a perfect angle for aiming up toward performers from the front of the stage. [...]

12 AC POWER CONSIDERA TIONS Be sure the SRM150 is plugged into an outlet that is able to supply enough current for the amplifier . Under maximum SPL conditions, where musical peaks are just hitting the limiter , the SRM150 model draws 2 amps on average. Under normal conditions, the current draw is below 1 amp. W e recommend that a stiff (robust) s[...]
