Samson dB500a - Manual (Page 9)

Quick Set-Up
In the following pages of this manual you will find a detailed explanation of all the dB500a’s functions
and controls, but if you just want to get started quickly you can follow the steps below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To ensure the cleanest and loudest possible output, and to protect
your speaker system, we highly recommend pressing the LIMITER switch on.
Using a Microphone
• Be sure that the dB500a’s Power switch is set to
the off position.
• Turn the LINE and MIC LEVEL controls fully coun-
terclockwise to the off position.
• Connect the power cable to an AC socket.
• Using a standard XLR cable, plug a microphone
into the dB500a’s MIC INPUT.
• Switch the dB500a’s Power switch to the ON posi-
tion.
• While speaking into the microphone, slowly raise
the MIC LEVEL control until you have reached the
desired level.
Using a Line Level Signal
• Be sure that the dB500a’s Power switch is set to
the off position.
• Turn the LINE and MIC LEVEL controls fully coun-
terclockwise to the off position.
• Connect the power cable to an AC socket.
• Using a standard XLR or 1/4 inch cable, connect
a line level signal from a mixer or keyboard into
the dB500a’s LINE INPUT.
• Switch the dB500a’s Power switch to the ON
position.
• Now, run an audio signal from your mixer (like some music from a CD) while slowly raising the dB500a’s
LINE LEVEL control until you have reached the desired level.
