It is therefore recommended that when setting up your system you set up your speakers on speaker stands, such as the Rockville model RVSS-2 (not included) so that the tweeter sounds will radiate above the listening crowd. This will guarantee optimum sound disper- sion and achieve clear vocal sound reproduction.
Setting Level Controls It is best practice to set your input volume (gains) in this manner: 1. Unplug all inputs except for the one you wish to set the gain for. In this instance, the LINE INPUT RCA jacks. 2. Set the line-level input device volume (smart phone, tablet, MP3 player, etc.) to 60%. 3.
2. Switch ON your BPA and press the MODE button until it is in BT mode. The LCD display will read “bt”. 3. Look for “BPA12” on the list of available devices and select it. 4. If you have problems pairing your device please check the troubleshooting guide.
XLR port labeled LINE OUT using an XLR to XLR or an XLR cable to share the signal. We recommend you use high quality cables such as Rockville’s RCXFM20E-B XLR to XLR cable or RCXMB20-B XLR to ¼˝ TRS cable.
