Quick Set-Up
In the following pages of this manual, you will find a detailed explanation of all the dB300a’s functions 
and controls, but if you just want to get started quickly you can follow the steps below.
Using a Microphone
•   Be sure that the dB300a’s Power switch is set to 
the off position.
•   Turn the LINE and MIC LEVEL controls fully coun-
terclockwise to the off position. 
•   Connect the power cable to an AC socket.
 
•   Using a standard XLR cable, plug a microphone 
into the dB300a’s MIC INPUT. 
•   Switch the dB300a’s Power switch to the ON posi-
tion. 
•   While speaking into the microphone, slowly raise 
the MIC LEVEL control until you have reached the 
desired level.
Using a Line Level Signal
•   Be sure that the dB300a’s Power switch is set to 
the off position.
•   Turn the LINE and MIC LEVEL controls fully coun-
terclockwise to the off position. 
•  Connect the power cable to an AC socket.
 
•   Using a standard XLR or 1/4 inch cable, connect 
a line level signal from a mixer or keyboard into 
the dB300a’s LINE INPUT. 
•   Switch the dB300a’s Power switch to the ON 
position. 
•   Now, run an audio signal from your mixer (like 
some music from a CD) while slowly raising 
the dB300a’s LINE LEVEL control until you have 
reached the desired level.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to keep the MIC LEVEL control all the way off if there is no microphone connected.
