RCA input – This is an unbalanced line level input. It has an input sensitivity of 405mV. The two RCA sockets are summed to
mono internally.
CH 2-3
RCA Input: These are unbalanced line level inputs. They have an input sensitivity of 405mV. The two RCA sockets are summed
to mono internally.
CH2 RCA input is mixed with the 3.5mm front panel auxillary input.
CH3 RCA input is mixed with the Bluetooth® input.

The LINE output is on an unbalanced RCA connector. The output level is 766mV with an output impedance of 4.7kΩ at the
rated output.
The mono output signal is split across two RCA outputs.
SPEAKER OUTPUT
The class AB amplifier output features 100V Line or 4Ω low impedance.
NOTE: Only one output type should be used at a time.
MUTE INPUT
To enable CH1 priority (i.e., mute CH2 & CH3), connect the two contacts together with the mute illustration on the speaker
terminal block
MAINS INPUT CONNECTOR
Your amplifier is fitted with a standard IEC 60320-C14 socket for mains connection. Use the mains cable supplied to power up

LINE OUTPUT
The LINE output RCA can be used to connect up to 3 booster amplifiers.
INPUT CONNECTIONS
For wiring balanced in, pin 2 is hot. Unbalanced wiring on the microphone inputs
is not recommended.
Balanced input wiring (shielded pair cable) is recommended. Unbalanced RCA
wiring should be keep as short as possible.
PAGING SOLUTION
The PICOBLUv2 can be configured to provide a paging solution for small installations. Simply connect a paging microphone to CH1
XLR input and connect the contact closure output of the paging microphone to the PICOBLUv2 mute terminals as shown below:

BLUETOOTH® AUDIO STREAMING
The PICOBLUv2 includes a Bluetooth® Audio streaming interface which can receive audio from any device like a mobile phone,
computer or tablet. Simply connect your Bluetooth® device and it will mix in to the amplifier output.
BLUETOOTH® CONNECTION
1. Press the ON/OFF button to activate Bluetooth and enter pairing mode
2. On your Bluetooth® source device, e.g. a mobile phone, select the PICOBLUv2. Default name: PICOBLU-XXXX.
Consult the source device’s manual about accessing the Bluetooth® connection options.
3. Your Bluetooth® device will ask for a passcode/PIN. Default PIN: 2626
4. The PAIR LED will then flash 10 times to indicate successful pairing
5. Play audio from your Bluetooth® device.
6. Hold down the ON/OFF button for 5 seconds to turn the Bluetooth module off
BLUETOOTH® CONNECTION RANGE
The Bluetooth® connection range is a minimum of 10 meters. However, range is typically much larger but not guaranteed.
CONNECTING A DIFFERENT BLUETOOTH® DEVICE
The Bluetooth® module can only support one device connection at a time.
If you need to change devices, repeat the Bluetooth® connection process described above. By entering pairing mode it disconnects the
current device and allows a new device to be connected.
POWER OFF THE BLUETOOTH® DEVICE
To power off the Bluetooth® module hold down the Bluetooth® ON/OFF button for 5 seconds.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the volume of your Bluetooth® device is set to an appropriate level as this effectively adds in
another volume control to your system.
NOTE: The Bluetooth® module is powered off as standard when turning the amplifier on to maximise security. If the amplifier
is power cycled you must turn the Bluetooth® module back on by pressing the Bluetooth® ON/ OFF button.
Defaults:
Bluetooth Device Name: PICOBLU-XXXX
Passcode/PIN: 2626 (AMAM)

PROGRAMMABLE BLUETOOTH® SETTINGS
The PICOBLUv2 adds the capability to customise the settings of the Bluetooth module by programming new settings via the USB-C
front panel connector. Using the Bluetooth programming software, available on the Australian Monitor website, connect a PC to the
PICOBLUv2 USB-C port and upload the required settings.
The software can modify the following settings:
- Bluetooth Name
- Bluetooth PIN
- Enabling/Disabling PIN security
- Phone call support
- Device pairing history
