Califone PowerPro PA-916B - Manual

P o w e r f u l S o u n d P r e s e n t a t i o n S o l u t i o n s ™
The Basic PowerPro Package is the ideal system for those who require an easy-to-use, portable
sound reinforcement solution but do not have the budget, technical know-how or time required to
operate a multi-component system. Designed for any kind of venue, the PowerPro is a complete
self-contained sound system with two built-in wireless mic receivers, a CD player and a variable
speed cassette recorder/player. The PowerPro is also the first portable PA system to offer wireless
transmission to any number of its powered companion speakers, meaning it has unlimited
expandability to handle any situation.
The PowerPro Basic Package features 90-watts RMS of power and covers audiences up to 1000
people. In addition to the 300’ wireless transmission range to its powered companion speaker, the
PowerPro also has an active bus circuit that can be used to connect two additional units in a
conventional wired fashion. Simply connect an XLR cord from the Line out jack to the Line in jack
on the companion speakers. The first unit in the chain is the master with each additional powered
unit still retaining independent volume control. The non-powered PowerPro Support Speaker is
connected with a 1/4” Line in.
Its fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene enclosure has a rugged powder-coated perforated steel grille
and telescoping handle for easy transporting. The PowerPro master speaker has two combination
XLR / 1/4” jacks for use with wired mics and also includes a set of stereo RCA jacks that are ideal
for connecting external audio sources or recording devices.
The PowerPro gives added assurances with visual confirmation of power, radio frequency and
audio reception for each of its two wireless receivers through a set of five LED lights on the front of
the speaker. Its 10” high-powered woofer is driven by a 40 ounce magnet (the heaviest and most
efficient in its class) and a high-frequency compression driver for optimal audio reproduction. The
PowerPro also has independent bass and treble controls, digital master volume control, power
status indicator, a universal power supply and is C-UL and CE approved safe for use in schools,
by rental facilities and other venues.
