Connecting your SOHO Series Loudspeaker System to your audio mixer is straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide to ensure the best sound quality:

For a standard setup:

1. Begin by ensuring all equipment is turned off, and the main volume controls on both the mixer and SOHO speakers are set to their lowest levels.
2. Use a signal cable (XLR or TRS) to connect the output of your audio mixer to the line input of your SOHO Series speaker. Connect one end of the cable to the mixer's output (Left/Right) and the other end to the speaker's line input (typically a stereo jack).
3. Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
4. Power on your mixer first, then the SOHO Series speakers.
5. Gradually increase the volume on your SOHO Series speakers.
6. Use the PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) function on your mixer to set the input levels. Adjust the Main Mix Level to control the output volume.
7. When finished, power off the speakers first, followed by the mixer.

For a setup with Active Subwoofers and Passive Satellite Speakers:

1. Connect the mixer's output (Left/Right) to the active subwoofer's input using TRS or XLR cables. Then, connect a speakon cable from the subwoofer's output to the satellite speakers' input.
2. Make sure all other connections are complete as shown in the system diagram.
3. Power on your mixer first, then the subwoofers.
4. Adjust the volume controls on the subwoofers to approximately 70%.
5. Use the PFL function on the mixer to set the input levels, and use the Main Mix Level to control the output.
6. When finished, power off the subwoofers first, followed by the mixer.

Following these steps will help you properly connect your SOHO Series Loudspeaker System to your audio mixer, ensuring excellent sound reproduction.
