Getting Started
The following steps will help you set up your
loudspeakers quickly.
INITIAL SETTINGS:
1. Turn the LEVEL control on the rear panel all the
way down.
2. Set the EQ ON/OFF switch out (OFF).
3. Turn the POWER switch OFF.
CONNECTIONS:
1. Connect the line-level signal from your mixer (or
other signal source) to the INPUT jack on the TH-
15A rear panel (XLR connector).
2. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the IEC
socket on the back of the loudspeaker. Plug the
other end into an AC outlet properly configured with
the correct voltage as indicated just below the IEC
socket.
TURN IT ON:
1. Turn the POWER switch ON.
2. Start your signal source (mp3 player, CD, DAW,
band, or whatever), but leave the master level
control on your mixer down.
3. Slowly turn up the LEVEL control on the TH-15A to
the “U” (unity gain) mark at the center position.
4. Adjust the master volume on your mixer to a
comfortably loud listening level. If the volume from
the speakers gets really loud, really fast, try turning
down the LEVEL control on the TH-15A a bit. If the
speakers don’t get loud enough, turn up the LEVEL
control to achieve a good balance of master volume
control and loudness from the speaker.
Now that you have your loudspeakers working, it’s
time to hunker down and read the rest of this manual…
