Operation continued Line In Insert both RCA plugs into the RCA jacks when using a stereo input. The left and right channels are combined so no pro- gram material is lost. If the source is monaural, either RCA jack can be used. The Line In volume control is used to increase or decrease the level of the input signal.

Wireless Operation Feedback is a shrill screeching sound produced by the speaker system when a microphone is being used too close to the front of the speaker. The microphone picks up the sound of the speaker system and it becomes reamplified. It is a self- sustaining loop which can damage the system if allowed to continue, not to mention the annoyance caused to persons nearby.

Powered Companion Speaker PA916-PS The Powered Companion PA has the same amplifier, power supply and speaker compliment as the full featured PowerPro PA916. It does not have the mixer panel because it can be controlled by the PowerPro PA916. With the integral 16-channel selectable wireless UHF receiver, it can function as a stand alone PA speaker when using a Q-316 Handheld microphone or the M-316 Beltpack transmitter with a LM-316, CM-316 or HBM-316 microphone.
