Setup Instructions
1. Assembling Speaker Stands
Unfold the tripod legs of each speaker stand until they are fully extended and stable. Secure the legs using the locking mechanism. Adjust the height of the stand to your desired level and insert the safety lock-in pin for added stability. The stands are designed for universal speaker compatibility with a 35mm insert.
2. Mounting Speakers
Carefully lift each speaker and align the 35mm pole mount socket on the bottom of the speaker with the top pole of the assembled stand. Gently lower the speaker onto the stand until it is securely seated. Ensure the speaker is stable before proceeding.
3. Connecting Active and Passive Speakers
Locate the '1/4'' SpeakOn (8 Ohm) Speaker Output' on the active PA speaker and the '1/4'' SpeakOn (8 Ohm) Input' on the passive PA speaker. Use a compatible SpeakOn cable (not included in this kit, typically a 1/4'' to 1/4'' cable or SpeakOn cable depending on the specific model's passive input) to connect the output of the active speaker to the input of the passive speaker. This connection allows the active speaker to power the passive unit.
4. Powering On the System
Connect the provided power cable to the AC power input on the active speaker. Plug the other end of the power cable into a standard electrical outlet (100/240V). Turn on the power switch located on the rear panel of the active speaker. The digital LCD display should illuminate, indicating the system is powered on.
Operating Instructions
1. Bluetooth Wireless Streaming
To activate Bluetooth mode, press the 'MODE' button on the rear control panel until 'BLUETOOTH' appears on the digital LCD display. On your Bluetooth-enabled device (smartphone, tablet, PC), search for available devices and select 'Pyle' from the list. Once connected, you can stream audio wirelessly to the PA system. The Bluetooth wireless range is over 100 feet.
2. USB Flash Drive & SD Memory Card Playback
Insert a USB flash drive or SD memory card (up to 32GB) containing MP3 or WMA audio files into the respective slots on the rear control panel. The system will automatically switch to USB/SD mode and begin playing the audio files. Use the control buttons (Play/Pause, Next, Previous) on the panel or remote control to manage playback.
3. AUX (3.5mm) Input
Connect external audio devices (e.g., MP3 players, laptops) using a 3.5mm audio cable to the 'Aux (3.5mm) Input Jack' on the rear panel. Press the 'MODE' button to select AUX input. Adjust the volume from both your external device and the PA system.
4. Microphone Usage
Plug the wired microphone into the 'XLR Microphone Input' on the rear panel. Adjust the 'Mic Volume' rotary dial to control the microphone's output level. The system also features an 'Echo' control for adding vocal effects.
5. Audio Controls
The rear panel includes several rotary dials for precise sound control:
- Master Volume: Controls the overall output volume of the entire PA system.
- Mic Volume: Adjusts the volume level of the connected microphone.
- Treble: Controls the high-frequency response of the audio.
- Bass: Controls the low-frequency response of the audio.
6. Remote Control
The included remote control allows for convenient adjustment of playback functions (Play/Pause, Next, Previous), mode selection, and volume control for MP3/USB/SD sources from a distance.
7. Line Input/Output
The system features a 'Line Input/Output Level: >250mV' for connecting additional audio equipment. The '1/4'' SpeakOn (8 Ohm) Input' and '1/4'' SpeakOn (8 Ohm) Speaker Output' are used for connecting the active and passive speakers, or for expanding the system with other compatible speakers.

Troubleshooting
- No Power: Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the speaker and a working electrical outlet. Check the power switch on the rear panel.
- No Sound: Verify all volume controls (Master, Mic, MP3/Line) are turned up. Check all cable connections between speakers and audio sources. Ensure the correct input mode (Bluetooth, USB/SD, AUX) is selected.
- Bluetooth Connection Issues: Make sure the speaker is in Bluetooth pairing mode. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and it is within the 100+ feet range. Try forgetting the device on your phone and re-pairing.
- Distorted Sound: Lower the volume levels on both the audio source and the speaker. Check for any loose or damaged cables. Ensure the input signal is not too strong.
- Microphone Not Working: Check the microphone cable connection. Ensure the 'Mic Volume' is turned up. Test with another microphone if available.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Pyle PA speaker system, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior surfaces of the speakers and stands. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Storage: When not in use, store the system in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Disassemble the stands and store all components in their original packaging or a protective case to prevent damage.
- Cable Care: Always handle cables by the connectors, not the wires. Avoid bending or kinking cables sharply, as this can damage internal wiring.
- Ventilation: Ensure the active speaker's rear panel (where the amplifier is located) has adequate ventilation to prevent overheating. Do not block any vents.
