Voyager is a portable sound system that’s simple to set up and
operate. It runs for many hours on its built-in battery. You’ll
need a microphone or other input source before you begin.
Make sure the battery is fully charged before use (see page 8).
Here’s how easy it is to use:
1. Set the unit in front of your audience on the floor,
table or on a speaker stand.
2. Plug a microphone into the Mic 1 or Mic 2 input,
or plug an audio source into the line input.
3. Set all input level controls to minimum, then turn the
power ON. Slowly increase the level control adjacent
to the input used until desired volume is reached.
4. Adjust the tone control for desired sound quality.
To operate the wireless mic system on model PB-3000W see
“Wireless Operation” on pages 9 and 10. And for more detailed
instructions, see the “Operation” section beginning on page 6.

Wireless Operation (wireless model only)
Setting up the wireless system
Checking the Frequency Code.
Before proceeding, you must first verify that the wireless
frequency of your transmitter matches the frequency of the
receiver installed in your Anchor sound system.
1. The control panel of the sound system should have
the following label:
2. The frequency code must match the code found on
the transmitter as described below:
HANDHELD: Unscrew the battery compartment
cover on lower end of the microphone. Remove the
battery (if installed) and check code on the label.
BODY-PACK: Check the code on the label located
behind the belt clip.
3. If the frequency codes don’t match, locate the correct
transmitter whose code matches the sound system.
About the transmitter battery gauge/indicator
Assuming a battery is installed in the transmitter, you can
estimate the remaining operating time by sliding the power
switch to the PWR position (first turn the sound system off,
or set the transmitter mute switch to the MUTE position).
Observe the color of the LED indicator(s) that light up:

Battery Operation

About the battery protect circuit
The automatic battery protection circuit turns the unit off
when the battery approaches its ‘critical discharge point’ to
prevent damaging the battery.
When the Battery LED begins flashing, this indicates the
battery is low and the unit will shut off in 15 -30 minutes.
Expected service time from the battery
The service time per charge will vary depending on the
volume level, type of program usage and if a companion
speaker is used with the system.
Service time per charge (continuous music input).
medium volume 10 to 14 hours
full volume (before clipping) 6 to 8 hours
Charging the battery
Plug the RC-16 charger (RC-16/220 for export) into an AC
outlet and into the charger input (the Charger LED will light,
indicating the battery is being charged). The charger will
automatically charge the battery for optimum recovery.
When the battery is charged (about 12 hours), the Charger
LED will flash. This indicates the charger has switched to the
maintenance charge rate—the charger may be left plugged in
to maintain a full charge without damaging the battery.
IMPOR
TANT: For longer battery life, always store the unit
with the battery in a fully charged condition.

Feedback Information
5
What causes feedback?
Feedback is a ringing, howling, or shrill sound that is self-
generated by the sound system. It is the result of sound from
the speakers being picked up by the microphone(s) in use
and then re-amplified by the system. This can form a self-
sustaining loop that can damage the sound system if allowed
to continue.
How to prevent feedback
ALWAYS STAND BEHIND THE SPEAKER
WHEN USING A MICROPHONE.
CAUTION: Feedback can damage your equipment and may be
hazardous to your hearing. To avoid feedback, always make sure
volume controls are at minimum before turning unit on. If
feedback occurs, immediately reduce the volume.

Operation
Mic 1 Input
Balanced, low impedance XLR microphone input. Use with
a balanced microphone to help prevent hum or interference
when using long mic cables. It has phantom power for use
with condenser-type microphones.
Mic 2 Input
An unbalanced, low impedance microphone input. For use
with mics that have a 1/4" phone plug.
On PB-3000W (wireless) models, the built-in receiver is
connected to this input. Use the Mic 2 control to adjust the
wireless mic volume. (Inserting a plug into the Mic 2 input
disconnects the wireless input—to use a wired and wireless mic
simultaneously, plug the wired mic into the Mic 1 Input.)
Line Input
The line input (1/4"-phone jack) is used for playback of a
tape or CD player, musical instrument, VCR or similar
source. It may be used simultaneously with the mic inputs
for a composite output.
N
ote: All connections must be made with shielded cable to
avoid hum, buzzing, or radio interference.
Line Output
The output signal is a composite of all the inputs. Use it to
record your presentation, or to “daisy chain” another powered
sound system to the Voyager for greater crowd coverage.
Speaker Output
Use the speaker output to drive an unpowered 4-8Ω speaker
in addition to Voyager’s built-in speakers for greater output.
N
OTE: When an external speaker is powered by the Voyager,
battery service per charge will decrease considerably.
Speaker Stand Adapter (use with 1.5” diameter stands)
1. Slide adapter into the slot on bottom of the Voyager.
2. Tighten screw to secure adapter to Voyager.
3. Place unit on stand, then tighten screw on the collar
of the adapter to secure Voyager to stand.
