Setup and Installation Guide for Gemini AS Series Speakers

Overview

This guide provides support for setting up and installing Gemini AS Series powered speakers. Whether you're preparing for a live event, home use, or a permanent installation, this guide will help ensure proper setup and avoid common issues.

Quick Fixes

• Check Power Connection
  Ensure the speaker is plugged into a working outlet and the rear power switch is turned on. The Power LED should illuminate.

• Verify Input Source
  Confirm that your audio source (microphone, mixer, phone, etc.) is connected to the correct input (XLR, 1/4", RCA) and that the corresponding Volume knob is turned up.

• Set EQ to Neutral
  Set the Bass and Treble knobs to their midpoint to avoid distortion or imbalance during initial setup.

Diagnosing Setup Issues

• No Sound Output

  • Check that the speaker is powered on.
  • Confirm that the input source is active and properly connected.
  • Adjust the Master Volume and input channel knobs.

• Distorted or Unbalanced Sound

  • Reset EQ knobs to neutral.
  • Lower volume if clipping occurs.
  • Test with a different audio source or cable.

• Bluetooth or USB/SD Playback Not Working

  • Ensure the correct mode is selected using the Mode button.
  • Confirm media format compatibility (MP3, FAT32 for USB/SD).

Step-by-Step Setup Instructions

Prevention Tips
