Introduction
Thank you for choosing the multicomp PRO 10-inch PA/DJ Floor Monitor Speaker. This passive speaker is designed for professional audio applications, offering robust construction and clear sound reproduction. This manual provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your speaker to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Setup
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove the speaker from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage that may have occurred during transit. Retain the packaging for future transport or storage.
2. Placement
This speaker is designed for floor standing applications, typically used as a stage monitor or a main PA speaker in medium to large venues. Position the speaker on a stable, flat surface. Ensure adequate space around the unit for proper sound dispersion and heat dissipation from any connected amplifier.
3. Connections
The multicomp PRO floor monitor is a passive speaker and requires an external amplifier for operation. Connect the speaker to a suitable amplifier using appropriate speaker cables. The speaker features RCA and binding post connections.
- RCA Connections: Use RCA cables to connect to compatible amplifier outputs.
- Binding Posts: For a secure and high-quality connection, use speaker wire with banana plugs or bare wire ends. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) to avoid phase issues.
Always ensure the amplifier is turned off before making any connections to prevent damage to the speaker or amplifier.

Operating Instructions
1. Powering On
Once all connections are securely made, turn on your external amplifier. Gradually increase the amplifier's volume to a desired listening level.
2. Volume Control
Volume adjustments should be made primarily through your connected amplifier or mixing console. Avoid operating the speaker at excessively high volumes for extended periods to prevent potential damage.
3. Audio Modes
The speaker supports both stereo and mono audio output modes, depending on your amplifier and system configuration.
4. Compatible Devices
This speaker can be connected to a variety of audio sources via a suitable amplifier, including desktop computers, laptops, MP3 players, smartphones, tablets, and televisions.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning
To clean the speaker, use a soft, dry cloth. For the metal grill, a soft brush can be used to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
2. Storage
When not in use, store the speaker in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, consider using the original packaging or a protective cover to prevent dust accumulation.
3. Handling
The speaker is equipped with recessed handles for easier transport. Always lift the speaker using these handles. Despite its heavy-duty construction, avoid dropping or subjecting the unit to strong impacts.
4. Environmental Considerations
This product is not waterproof. Protect it from rain, splashes, and high humidity. Operating the speaker in wet conditions can lead to electrical hazards and damage to the unit.
Troubleshooting
- No Sound:
- Ensure the amplifier is powered on and its volume is not at minimum.
- Check all cable connections between the speaker and the amplifier, ensuring they are secure and correctly polarized.
- Verify the audio source is playing and its output is active.
- Test with a different cable or amplifier if possible to isolate the issue.
- Distorted Sound:
- Reduce the volume level on the amplifier and audio source. Overdriving the speaker can cause distortion.
- Check for damaged cables or loose connections.
- Ensure the amplifier's impedance matches the speaker's 8 Ohm impedance.
- Low Volume:
- Increase the volume on both the amplifier and the audio source.
- Confirm that the amplifier's power output is sufficient for the speaker's power handling (110W RMS, 220W peak).
- Check for any attenuation settings on the amplifier or mixer.
