All weights and measures are approximate. Oct 2021. WHAT IS IN THE BOX Your M2-6 or M26U package contains the following: (1) Speaker M2-6 or M26U* (1) 12V AC Power Supply Adapter Refer to Page 2 and 4, for the following Controls QUICK START 1. Check that the Battery Switch [49] is set to the "Connect" position. (Battery Switch is a built in circuit breaker to preserve battery life.) 2. Make sure the SPEAKER VOLUME [3] control is turned all the way down. 3. Connect microphones and/or instruments. You can use Channel 1 or Channel 2, or both. If using Channel 1, be sure the Instr-Mic/Line push-switch [22] is not pushed in when using a mic or line level signal. Microphones are connected to the XLR MIC IN [29], for 1/4" Line Levels signals use [28], and use [27] for unbuffered instrument applications (note this is a high gain setting and should not be used for active outputs such as battery powered guitar preamps). 4. Turn on the POWER switch [50] 5. If desired, connect a Bluetooth® [13] device; see Bluetooth® Function on page 3. 6. Turn on your source signal(s) and adjust level for normal operation. Turn up GAIN [14] until there is a solid green LED showing "signal" at the desired playing level. The red "peak" LED, indicating too much signal, should only light for very brief periods, less than one second, or not at all. Note if you are using an iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth®, set the volume on your device about halfway. Maximum volume will distort. 7. Adjust the SPEAKER VOLUME [3] to a comfortable level.
