user manual MILAN Self-Powered Loudspeakers Milan series self-powered loudspeakers are equipped with an integrated Class D amplifier module, taking consistent performance, convenience and ease of use to a new level. Featuring lightweight high-power amplifiers using 48kHz DSP and operating at better than 90% efficiency, Milan eliminates the need for separate amplifier racks and controllers, as well as the attendant cabling. This makes setting up at gigs and obtaining a consistent sound in

user manual MILAN Bass Mode The BASS MODE switch introduces a 100Hz filter in the bass part of the frequency response. In the ‘B’ position it allows better integration of sub-bass loudspeakers with Milan MI5 loudspeakers by preventing an overlap in the bass frequencies. The subjective result is extended bass response. If you are using Milan without subwoofers we recommend that you select the ‘A’ position, which will ensure the frequency response is unaffected. Using Milan with Subwoo

Bass Mode switch This slide switch introduces a fourth order high-pass filter in the lower part of the frequency response at 100Hz, and is useful to avoid boominess due to proximity to the floor when the Milan loudspeaker is used as a floor monitor. The bass mode high-pass should also be selected when the Milan MI5 is used with sub-bass loudspeakers. This allows bass frequencies to be routed appropriately to the sub-bass speakers, avoiding an overlap between these and

user manual MILAN Stereo PA with an external mixer Two Milan loudspeakers form the left and right elements of a stereo PA setup with all signal sources connected to an external mixing console. Ensure that the mic/line switch is set to LINE on both loudspeakers. Set the BASS MODE switch to the ‘A’ position when not using subwoofers. Bring up the master faders on the mixer, ensuring that the outputs are not clipping, and then adjust both loudspeakers’ level controls to the desired loudness.

user manual MILAN Stereo PA with an external mixer and subwoofer(s) In this example, sub frequencies are routed to a separate subwoofer(s) in order to gain extended frequency response and higher overall sound level. Connect the mixer output first to the subwoofers and then loop up to the Milan loudspeakers. Set the MIC/LINE switch to LINE and set the BASS MODE switch to the ‘B’ position to roll off the low frequencies to the Milan MI5 loudspeakers. The tone controls on both cabinets sho

user manual MILAN Loudspeaker Placement In order to avoid the possibility of feedback locate the loudspeakers in front of your microphones and do not point microphones directly at the front of a loudspeaker. When using speaker stands, try to raise the loudspeakers as high as practically possible (at least higher than the heads of the audience) since people are very good absorbers of sound, especially at high frequencies. You also have the option to point them down using the alternat
