ROADTRIP 508

User manual
Connection examples
On the rear of the mixer/amplifier unit you will find the sockets for
connecting the speaker modules, the mains socket for the supplied
IEC mains cord as well as the POWER switch
The PRE AMP LEFT/RIGHT outputs allow for tapping the signal in the
main buss behind the LEFT/MAIN VOLUME and RIGHT/MAIN VOLUME
controls, but before the Class D amplifier. Use these outputs to feed
the main signal of Roadtrip 508 to a subsequent mixer or an additio-
nal PA.
If required, you can connect an external active subwoofer (not inclu-
ded) to the SUBWOOFER OUT XLR socket. Use the subwoofer ampli-
fier to balance the level of the subwoofer to the full range speakers.
The SPEAKER OUT outputs serve for connecting the speaker modules
(and additional monitors if required) to the internal Class D amplifier.
The configuration depends on the setting of the AMP MODE switch
on the front (see below).
NOTE: Please note that the impedance of all connected speakers must
be at least 4 ohm or higher. An impedance below 4 ohm can damage
the internal Class D amplifier. This will void the warranty.
If the fuse of Roadtrip 508 is blown, open the fuse holder and replace
it – depending on the mains voltage –with a fuse of the same type
and with the printed specifications.
Attach the power cord to the mains socket. Please make sure that the
voltage selector is set to the mains voltage in your country. Finally,
use the the POWER switch to turn Roadtrip 508 on or off
ANMERKUNG: Vor dem Ein- und Ausschalten sollten Sie die Regler
LEFT/MAIN VOLUME und RIGHT/MAIN VOLUME ganz herunter ziehen,
um Schäden an den Lautsprechern durch etwaige Ein- oder Ausschal-
timpulse zu vermeiden.
Choosing the AMP MODE
You can use Roadtrip 508 either for stereophonic sound reinforcement
or as a monophonic FOH system with an additional monitoring buss.
The selection is done via the AMP MODE switch on the front.
AMP MODE MAIN/MAIN: In this mode, the Roadtrip speaker modules
are connected to the LEFT/MAIN and RIGHT/MON sockets. Audio is
played in stereo, the level is controlled via the LEFT/MAIN VOLUME and
RIGHT/MAIN VOLUME controls.
AMP MODE MAIN/MON: In this mode, the Roadtrip speaker modules
are connected to both LEFT/MAIN sockets. You can connect additional
monitor wedges (not included) to the RIGHT/MON socket. The level
of the monophonic FOH speaker modules is controlled via the LEFT/
MAIN VOLUME control, while the level in the monitoring buss is set
via the RIGHT/MAIN VOLUME knob. The mix of the input channels in
the monitoring buss is set separately from the FOH level via the FX
controls in every channel.
