TITAN COLUMN 12: How To Set Up w/ A Mixer

Introduction:
In this guide, we’ll show you how to easily set up a mixer to your Rockville Titan Column 12 speaker system for a live sound setup. By connecting a mixer, such as the Rock Mix 10FX, and using the right cables, you can get your system up and running quickly. This setup is perfect for plugging in microphones and instruments, as well as utilizing any built-in effects your mixer may have.

Requirements:

• Rockville Titan Column 12 speakers
• Passive mixer (e.g., Rock Mix 10FX)
• 2 XLR cables (or 2/4-inch cables, depending on your outputs)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Connect the Mixer to the Speakers

• Take the two XLR cables and plug the female ends into the main mix output ports on the mixer.
• Next, plug the male ends of the XLR cables into the line inputs on the back of each subwoofer. These are combo jack inputs, so you can also use 1/4-inch cables if needed.

2. Adjust the Line Level

• On both speaker systems, raise the line level knob. This ensures that the audio signal from the mixer is properly amplified through both speakers.

3. Set Up the Mixer for Testing

• To test the setup, plug your microphone into channel one on the mixer.
• Increase the gain and level knob for channel one, ensuring the signal is strong enough to be heard.
• Then, raise the main mix knob to send the audio signal through both speakers.

4. Test the Microphone

• Turn on the microphone, and check by speaking into it.
• You should hear your voice come through the speakers, confirming that everything from the mixer is being correctly output through the speaker system.

5. Use Your Mixer Features

• With your mixer connected, you can now use it to plug in additional microphones or instruments.
• You can also take full advantage of the mixer's features, such as built-in effects, and adjust the line inputs and outputs to suit your needs.

Conclusion:

Setting up a mixer to your Rockville Titan Column 12 speakers is an easy and effective way to expand your live sound setup. By using XLR cables (or 1/4-inch cables) and adjusting the line levels, you can ensure that audio from your mixer comes through both speaker systems clearly. Whether you're using microphones, instruments, or mixer effects, this setup allows you to customize your sound.
