BASIC SYSTEM OPERATION
The AN-1000X+ is the most versatile powered monitor
on the market, is designed to amplify the signal from a
wide variety of input sources. Use it on an A/V rack, as
a studio monitor, in a trade show booth or on a US Navy
warship, you decide.
Here’s how easy it is to use:
1. Place the AN-1000X+ in desired location
2. Plug the power cord into a grounded AC outlet
3. Plug an audio source into one of the three input
jacks on the back panel:
• LINE IN - RCA jack
• LINE IN - 1/4-inch phone jack
• BALANCED INPUT* - XLR jack
4. Turn volume control on front panel to minimum
5. Set power switch on back panel to ON
(red LED on front panel should light)
6. Adjust the volume, bass & treble controls to
desired levels
SPEAKER OUT
The external speaker output jack
(1/4”-phone, unswitched)
allows the user to power an auxiliary unpowered speaker
(such as the AN-1001X+). Minimum 8 ohms impedance for
auxiliary speakers.
POWER SWITCH
LINE OUT
The line-level output provides a
replica of the composite input sig-
nal. Use it for direct recording or
to daisy-chain additional powered
sound systems to the AN-1000X+
for greater crowd coverage.
LINE IN
The line-level inputs
(RCA &
1/4” phone) are used with
input sources such as VCR’s,
CD players, musical instru-
ments, computers, mixing
consoles, etc. Both inputs
can be used simultaneously
with the AN-1000X+ volume
knob controling composite
program output.
BALANCED INPUT
The balanced XLR input jack can be user configured for a Lo-Z microphone or
bridging balanced line-level inputs. In addition it has 15 volt phantom power
which can be switched on or off.
*BALANCED INPUT JACK
The balanced XLR input jack allows the AN-1000X+
to be used in a variety of applications. The input can
be user configured for a Lo-Z microphone or bridging
balanced line-level inputs
(such as used in the
pro-audio and broadcast industry). In addition, the
input has 15 volt phantom power which may be
switched on or off.
The factory default setting is for microphone-level
inputs with 15 volts DC phantom power. Follow the
instructions below to change settings.

FEEDBACK
Feedback is a howling noise or shrill sound that is
self-generated by the sound system. It is caused by a
microphone picking up the sound coming from the speaker
and then being re-amplified. Once a feedback loop is started
it will continue until the system is adjusted.
FEEDBACK CAUSES
• Microphone too close, pointing towards or in front of
the speaker
• Volume setting too loud for room
• Sound reflections from hard surfaces, walls, etc.
CAUTION: Feedback can damage your equipment
& may be hazardous to hearing.
AVOIDING & ELIMINATING FEEDBACK
• Point the microphone in a different direction
• Keep the microphone away from the speaker;
position speaker in FRONT of microphone
• Reduce the sound system volume level
