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 L1212 and L1215 you can 

follow the steps below.

•   Be sure that the Live Series 

speakers’ Power switch is set 

to the off position.

•   Turn the LINE controls fully 

counterclockwise to the off 

position. 

•   Connect the power cables 

to an AC socket.

•   Connect your turntables or 

CD players to your DJ mixer 

following the manufacturers 

instructions.

•   Using a standard XLR cable, 

connect the mixer’s left 

output to the left side Live 

Series’ LINE INPUT and then 

connect the mixer’s right 

output to the right side LIVE 

series’ LINE INPUT. 

•   Switch the Live Series Power 

switch to the ON position. 

•   Now, run an audio signal (like some music from a CD) from your mixer and check that you are getting a 

good level using the mixers output meter.

•  Next, slowly raise the Live Series LINE LEVEL control until you have reached the desired level.

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.
