Milan Series Getting Started
Milan M10, M12 and M15
Turn the level controls fully anticlockwise
(zero) on both input channels.
Set the BASS and TREBLE tone controls
to their centre position (noboostor cut).
Connect your signal sources (mixing
console, keyboard, microphone, acoustic
guitar) to the appropriate input
connectors and select MIC or LINE as appropriate for
thatsource.
If the loudspeaker is to be used as a
oor monitor, orfor use with subwoofers,
set the LOW CUT switch to the ‘100Hz’
position (up); otherwise select the ‘OFF’
position (down).
Switch on the mixer or other source and
make sure the output faders or master
output level controls are turned
fully down.
Connect the AC mains cable to the Milan
loudspeaker and turn on the mains
switch. The blue PWR LED will illuminate
to indicate that mains power is connected.
Increase the output level of the signal
source to a normal operating level.
Slowly turn up the Milan loudspeaker’s
level control(s) until a suitable volume
level is reached. The SIG LED illuminates
green to indicate signal present. If the input signal is
too high the CLIP LED will light and the signal level
from the source or mixer must be reduced.The LIM
LED ashes red when the system is limiting although
it is normal for the LIM LED to ashoccasionally.
Apply equalisation, ifnecessary, using
the BASS and TREBLE controls. Cut bass to
tame boomy frequencies in the room,
and add a little treble to help vocal intelligibility.

red when the system is limiting although it is normal
for the LIM LED to ashoccasionally.
Set the POLARITY switch to NORM if the
Milan mid/high speakers and subwoofers
are physically aligned (e.g., pole
mounting). You may set the POLARITY switch to
REV if the Milan mid/high speakers are not physically
aligned with the subwoofer (e.g., above or behind)
