Setup Instructions
1. Speaker Placement
Position the speakers on a stable, flat surface or mount them on compatible speaker poles using the integrated pole mount. Ensure adequate ventilation around the rear panel where the amplifier and controls are located. Avoid placing speakers in direct sunlight or near heat sources.

- Ensure the speaker's power switch is in the OFF position.
- Connect the supplied power cable to the AC input on the rear panel of the speaker.
- Plug the other end of the power cable into a grounded electrical outlet.
3. Audio Connections
The Riot-15 speakers offer versatile input options:
- XLR / ¼” Combo Jacks (Input 1 & 2): These inputs accept microphone, line-level, and instrument signals. Use balanced XLR cables for microphones and long cable runs to minimize noise.
- AUX Input: For connecting devices with a 3.5mm stereo output, such as smartphones or media players.
- XLR Male Output: Allows for linking multiple speakers or sending the mixed signal to another audio device.
Operating Instructions
1. Powering On/Off
After all connections are made, switch the power button on the rear panel to the ON position. The LED display will illuminate, indicating the speaker is active.
2. Volume Control
Adjust the individual input volumes using the corresponding knobs on the rear panel. The master volume knob controls the overall output level of the speaker. Start with low volume settings and gradually increase to a comfortable listening level.
3. Bluetooth Pairing
To connect a Bluetooth device:
- Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your audio source device (smartphone, tablet, laptop).
- On the Riot-15 speaker's LED display, navigate to the Bluetooth pairing mode.
- Select “Seismic Audio Riot-15” from the list of available devices on your audio source.
- Once paired, the Bluetooth indicator on the speaker's display will confirm the connection.
The Bluetooth range is approximately 10 meters (33 feet).
4. DSP (Digital Signal Processing)
The integrated 24-bit DSP allows for fine-tuning of the speaker's sound characteristics. Use the navigation buttons and knob next to the LED display to access and adjust various DSP presets and parameters, such as EQ settings, crossover points, and limiters. Refer to the on-screen menu for specific options.
5. Mixer Functionality
The built-in mixer allows you to blend signals from different inputs. Adjust the individual input gain controls to achieve a balanced mix before adjusting the master volume.
Maintenance
