Feedback
Feedback is a howling or shrill sound that is self-generated by the
sound system. It is caused by microphone pickup of the sound
emanating from the speaker and then being re-amplified. Once
generated, this can be a self-sustaining phenomenon.
Feedback Causes
Microphone too close, pointing towards or in
front of speaker.
Volume setting too loud for room.
Sound reflections from hard surfaces, walls, etc.
Avoiding & Eliminating Feedback
Point the microphone into a different direction.
Keep the microphone away from the speaker; position
the speaker in FRONT of the microphone.
Reduce the volume of the sound system. Have all
volume controls set to minimum prior to powering on
the sound system.
Place sound dampening material over hard surfaces;
curtains or sound dampening foam.
Acceptable Unacceptable
CAUTION:
Feedback can
be damaging
to both your
equipment
and a persons
hearing.
Diversity Wireless by Anchor Audio
Anchor Audio UHF wireless is a 16 channel, diversity wireless
system that utilizes two independent antennae to receive signal. The
diversity feature means that the receiver will process the stronger of
the two antenna signals, effectively minimizing dropouts and
interference from other transmitting sources. The antennae are
mounted internally so there are no obstructions or risk of damage.
Receiver Channel Selection
Before you use your UHF wireless system, you will need to select a
wireless frequency channel. The wireless receiver is mounted inside
the Xtreme and can be set to any of 16 available channels.
1. Locate the Wireless Channel
selector on the back panel.
2. Set the Channel (frequency)
of the receiver to 1 thru 16.
Transmitter Channel Selection
Handheld Transmitter:
1. Unscrew battery cover on lower end of microphone.
2. Set the channel selection
dial to match the channel
setting on the receiver.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Body-pack Transmitter:
1. The channel selection dial
is located on the side of
the transmitter.
2. Set the channel selection
dial to match the channel
setting on the receiver.
NOTE:
Be sure that
the MIC/LINE
switch is in
the “MIC”
position when
a mic is

Setting Up The Xtreme Sound System
For best results, it is recommended that the sound system be placed
above the heads of the audience and above the height of the tallest
obstruction using a speaker stand or table. This will benefit the
listeners in the rear while minimizing the risk of overpowering the
listeners in front.
Stand Setup
1. Loosen the Lower Collar Knob.
2. Separate the stand legs until the
leg support cross braces are
parallel to the floor.
3. Tighten the Lower Collar Knob.
4. Extend the center pole by
loosening the Upper Collar Knob.
5. Adjust the height and retighten
the Upper Collar Knob.
6. Place the Anchor sound system
on the stand.
Sound System Placement
The ideal placement of the sound system is between the crowd and
the presenter, facing the crowd. This will give the audience a direct
signal path and keep the person with the microphone behind the
sound system, helping to prevent feedback from occurring.
Single Unit Application
Place the unit along the aisle with the least amount of pedestrian
traffic. Point the unit towards the center of the audience.

The CD player features direct-in play power loading, anti-shock/skip
CD mechanism, repeat & random play, three beam laser tracking
system and dual one bit D/A converters. The audio signal is fed
directly into the mixing bus, mixing it directly with all other inputs
of the Xtreme for a composite output.
General Operation
INSERT CD - Push a disc into the CD slot label side up. The disc
will automatically insert and begin to play.
POWER ON/OFF - Press POWER to turn the unit on and off.

Two Unit Application
Place each unit along the aisles pointing just off the centerline of the
audience. With the sound system placed properly over the head of
the crowd, this should be sufficient coverage.
Sound System Connection
There are two ways of connecting two or more Xtreme sound
systems together. The simplest method would be to use the speaker
output of the primary unit and connect it to the unpowered
companion speaker using an SC-50 speaker cable. No electric
power is required for an unpowered companion speaker.
The second method would be to utilize the line-output feature.
Simply connect a (EX-50PP) cable from the line-out of the primary
Xtreme to the line-in on the secondary powered Xtreme. Set the
volume of the second Xtreme to maximum so that full volume
control will be at the primary sound system.
The line-out connection can also be used to send the signal to a
sound system in a different room or a recording device.
NOTE:
Auditoriums
or outside
areas with
large exposed
walls or
patios may
create multiple
reflections of
the original
sound.
Altering the
sound system
position will
minimize the
sound
reflections.

Speaker Out
The Speaker Out on the Xtreme is a biamped output (separate
amplifier for each of the high and low frequencies) intended for use
with the XTR-6001 unpowered companion speaker.
Speech Projection
The Speech Projection switch allows you to customize the sound
output of the Xtreme for a particular application:
Speech Projection off (button out):
The Xtreme provides flat, full-range frequency response for music or
indoor voice applications.
Speech Projection on (button in):
Frequencies in the vocal range (800Hz-12kHz) are boosted for added
clarity and efficient sound projection. Use this setting for outdoor
functions, large crowds and speech applications.

Xtreme Control Panel
1. Set all input level controls to minimum and tones controls to
flat or middle position before turning on the power.
2. Plug a microphone into Mic 1 or Mic 2, or plug an audio
source into the Line-in input jack.
3. Press POWER on. The red LED near the switch will light.
4. Slowly increase the level control adjacent to the input jack
used to desired volume.
5. For speech applications, Speech Projection should be “on” to
overcome ambient noise. For standard applications (music
and indoors), Speech Projection should be “off”.
6. Adjust Bass and Treble controls for desired sound quality.
Line In
This unbalanced, high impedance, input is used for playback of a
cassette or CD player, musical instrument, VCR, other sound system
or similar line-level signal source. This input may be used in
conjunction with other inputs for a composite output.
Mic In
This balanced XLR, low impedance input is for use with balanced
microphones to help prevent hum or interference when using long
cables. It features +12VDC condenser mic power for use with
condenser-type microphones.
Balanced Input
This balanced XLR, low impedance input can be used for either a
balanced line level input or for a balanced microphone input. The
Input Level and Condenser Mic Power features are
user selectable. For a microphone level input, set
the Input Level button to the "in" position. For
line level sources, the Input Level button should be
in the "out" position. For condenser microphones,
set the Condenser Mic Power button to the “in”
position; the "in" position supplies +12VDC at the
input. Setting the button to the "out" position
supplies 0V for all other input applications.
Balanced Line Out
The Balanced Line-out provides a combined signal of all inputs
being used. You can use this function to record your presentation or
to "daisy chain" another powered sound system to the Xtreme for
greater crowd coverage. Note: This output is post source level; any
volume fluctuations for a specific input will affect the output signal
level at this output.
NOTE: A balanced microphone (Lo-Z) is preferred for use with long
cables, to minimize hum and interference. Condenser Mic Power is only
required when using mics with a condenser element; in all other
instances, the Condenser Mic Power switch should be set to off.
NOTE:
Instructions

NOTE:
All audio
connections
must be made
with shielded
cable to avoid
hum, buzzing
