In the following pages of this manual, you will find a detailed explanation of all the Live Series 

functions and controls, but if you just want to get started quickly with the L612 and L615 you can 

follow the steps below.

•   Be sure that the Live Series Power switch is set 

to the off position.

•   Turn the LINE and MIC LEVEL controls fully 

counterclockwise to the off position. 

•   Connect the power cable to an AC socket. 
•   Using a standard XLR cable, plug a microphone 

into the Live Series MIC INPUT. 

•   Switch the Live Series Power switch to the ON 

position. 

•   While speaking into the microphone, slowly 

raise the MIC LEVEL control until you have 
reached the desired level.

•   Be sure that the Live Series Power switch is set 

to the off position.

•   Turn the LINE and MIC LEVEL controls fully 

counterclockwise to the off position. 

•  Connect the power cable to an AC socket.
•   Using a standard XLR cable, connect a line 

level signal from a mixer or keyboard into the 

Live Series LINE INPUT. 

•   Switch the Live Series Power switch to the ON 

position. 

•   Now, run an audio signal from your mixer (like 

some music from a CD) while slowly raising the 

Live Series 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE!!: Be sure to watch the PEAK 

LED, as it should only light RED occasionally. 

Operating the speaker while the PEAK LED stays 

on RED could cause catastrophic damage to your 

speaker. So be sure to lower the mixers output or 

the LINE LEVEL input control until the PEAK LED 

lights RED only occasionally.
