SYSTEM SETUP

Setting Up The MegaVox Pro
For best results, it is recommended that the PA system be placed
above the heads of the audience and above the height of the tallest
obstruction using a speaker stand or table. This will benefit the
listeners in the rear while minimizing the risk of overpowering the
listeners in front.
Sound System Placement
The ideal placement of the PA system is between the crowd and the
presenter, facing the crowd. This will give the audience a direct
signal path and keep the person with the microphone behind the
sound system, helping to prevent feedback from occurring.
Stand Setup
1. Loosen the Lower Collar Knob.
2. Separate the stand legs until the
leg support cross braces are
parallel to the floor.
3. Tighten the Lower Collar Knob.
4. Extend the center pole by
loosening the Upper Collar Knob.
5. Adjust the height and retighten
the Upper Collar Knob.
6. Place the Anchor sound system
on the stand.

Single Unit Setup
Place the unit along the aisle with the least amount of pedestrian
traffic. Point the unit towards the center of the audience.
Connect A MegaVox Pro Companion Speaker
Use a speaker cable (SC-50) to connect Speaker Out on the primary
unit to the unpowered companion speaker (MEGA-6001).
No electric power is required for an unpowered companion speaker.
Connect MegaVox Pro Powered Systems
Utilize the Line Output feature by connecting a cable (EX-50PP)
from Line Out of the primary MegaVox Pro to Line In on the
secondary powered MegaVox Pro. Connect the second MegaVox
Pro to an electrical outlet and turn the unit on. Set the volume of the
second Megavox Pro to maximum so full volume control will be at
the primary system.
NOTE:
The line-out
connection
can also be
used to send
the signal to a
sound system
in a different
room or a
recording
device.

Daisy-Chaining
By using the Line Output method described above you can connect
up to six powered MegaVox Pro PA Systems together expanding
your coverage area.
Daisy-Chain Setup
To connect your MegaVox Pro units, use a shielded cable with 1/4”
phone plugs on each end (EX-50PP).
1. Turn the power switch off and turn the volume to maximum
on each MegaVox Pro.
2. Connect the Line Out on the primary (first) MegaVox Pro to
the Line In on the next MegaVox Pro.
3. Continue connecting your powered MegaVox Pro systems
Line Out to Line In to complete your chain.
4. Power on the speakers in order, primary unit first. This will
avoid speaker popping which can cause damage.
5. Use the volume control on the primary unit to set the volume
for the entire chain.
6. Power off speakers in reverse order, primary unit last. This
will avoid speaker popping which can cause damage.
NOTE:
Auditoriums
or outside
areas with
large exposed
walls or
patios may
create multiple
reflections of
the original
sound.
Altering the
PA system
position will
minimize the
sound
reflections.

PRECAUTIONS
6
Feedback
Feedback is a howling or shrill sound that is self-generated by the
sound system. It is caused by microphone pickup of the sound
emanating from the speaker and then being re-amplified. Once
generated, this can be a self-sustaining phenomenon.
Causes of Feedback
•Microphone too close, pointing towards or in front of
speaker.
•Volume setting too loud for room.
•Sound reflections from hard surfaces, walls, etc.
Avoiding & Eliminating Feedback
• Point the microphone into a different direction.
•Keep the microphone away from the speaker; position the
speaker in FRONT of the microphone.
• Reduce the volume of the sound system. Have all volume
controls set to minimum prior to powering on the sound
system.
•Place sound dampening material over hard surfaces; curtains
or sound dampening foam.
CAUTION:
Feedback can
be damaging
to both your
equipment
and a persons
hearing.
Unacceptable
Microphone is in front of sound system.
Acceptable
Microphone is located behind sound system.
BATTERY OPERATION
7
Caring For Built-in Batteries
It is very important that you fully charge the batteries in your system
before first use and as soon as possible after each and every use,
even if operated only briefly to preserve battery life.
When The Battery LED Flashes or Won’t Light
The Battery LED will begin to flash
when the battery charge is low. To
prevent damage, the automatic
protection circuit turns the unit off
when the batteries approach their critical
discharge point.
Charging The Batteries - AC Power Source
The following steps outline the necessary procedure to charge the
batteries:
1. With the MegaVox Pro power switch off, plug the Charger
into an AC outlet.
2. Connect the Charger cord into
charger input. The Charger LED
will light, indicating the batteries
are being charged.
3. When the batteries are fully charged (about 6-8 hours), the
Charger LED will flash.
Expected Service Time From Batteries
Battery service time will vary depending on the volume level, tone
control settings, type of program usage and if a companion speaker
is used with the system. You can expect about 8-12 hours of
operation at medium volume, 3-6 hours at full volume of continuous
music input (usually longer for speech applications).
NOTE:
When an
external
speaker is
powered by
the MegaVox
Pro, battery
service per
charge will
decrease
considerably.
NOTE:
MegaVox Pro
is an AC/DC
powered unit
that can be
used while
charging.
IMPORTANT:
For longer
battery life,
always store
your system
with the
battery in a
fully charged
condition or
the charger
plugged in.
