TITAN ARRAY SYSTEM: How To Set Up An Instrument

Introduction

This guide will walk you through setting up a microphone, guitar, keyboard, or other instruments with the Rockville Titan Array System. The system features a combo jack input, allowing you to connect devices using either a ¼-inch (6.35mm) instrument cable or an XLR cable.

Step 1: Understanding the Input Modes

The Titan Array System has a combo jack input that supports:

• Microphone (XLR or ¼-inch cable)
• Instruments (Guitar/Bass – ¼-inch cable)
• Line-Level Devices (Keyboard/Synth – ¼-inch cable)

Next to the combo jack, there is a mode button that switches between:

• Mic/Guitar Mode (Button Pressed) – Use for microphones or guitars.
• Line Mode (Button Unpressed) – Use for keyboards or synths.

Step 2: Connecting a Microphone

1. Use an XLR cable:
   • Plug the female end into your microphone.
   • Plug the male end into the mic input on the back of the subwoofer.
2. Press the Mode Button to Mic/Guitar mode.
3. Raise the Microphone Volume knob on the back of the subwoofer.
4. Test the microphone by speaking into it (Check 1-2).

Step 3: Connecting a Guitar or Bass

1. Use a ¼-inch instrument cable:
   • Plug one end into the guitar or bass.
   • Plug the other end into the guitar input on the back of the subwoofer.
2. Press the Mode Button to Mic/Guitar mode.
3. Raise the Guitar Volume knob on the back of the subwoofer.
4. Turn up the volume on the guitar and play to test.

Step 4: Connecting a Keyboard or Synth

1. Use a ¼-inch instrument cable:
   • Plug one end into the keyboard/synth output.
   • Plug the other end into the line input on the back of the subwoofer.
2. Leave the Mode Button Unpressed (Line Mode).
3. Raise the Line Level knob on the back of the subwoofer.
4. Play the keyboard to test the sound.

Step 5: Connecting a Microphone and an Instrument at the Same Time

You can connect both a microphone and an instrument simultaneously:

1. Option 1 (Mic Louder than Instrument):
   • Microphone → Mic Input
   • Guitar/Keyboard → Line Input
2. Option 2 (Instrument Louder than Mic):
   • Guitar → Guitar Input
   • Microphone → Line Input

Adjust the volume knobs accordingly to balance the sound.

Conclusion

Setting up a microphone and instrument on your Rockville Titan Array System is quick and easy. Whether you’re performing live, rehearsing, or setting up for a small event, this system provides versatile sound control.
