It covers everything from assembly to connecting power and audio sources, ensuring you're ready for your next performance or event. The instructions are simple and easy to follow, so you don’t need any technical experience to get started. You will also find troubleshooting tips in case you run into any issues during setup.

Requirements:

• Rockville TITAN MIX12C system (subwoofer, array speaker, spacer pole, power con cable, and travel bag)
• Bluetooth Device (for wireless audio connection)
• Microphone and/or Instruments (optional, for live performance)
• Audio Mixer (optional for expanded control)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

A.) Unbox the System

Start by carefully removing and laying out (for easy access) all the components from the packaging:

• Array Speaker & Travel Bag
• Long 29" Spacer Pole (used to elevate the Array Speaker to 82" total height)
• Short 12" Spacer Pole (used to lower the Array Speaker to 65" total height)
• Subwoofer & Travel Cover
• PowerCon Cable

B.) Assemble the Subwoofer and Pole

1. Take the Spacer Pole and align one of its ends with the port on top of the subwoofer.
2. Ensure that the silver circle on the pole is facing the front of the subwoofer.
3. Insert the pole into the port on the top of the subwoofer until it’s secure.

C.) Attach the Array Speaker

1. Align the port on the bottom of the array speaker with the connector on top of the pole.
2. Slide the Array Speaker down onto the connector until it’s fully seated and connected.

D.) Connect the Power Cable

1. Take the blue end of the PowerCon cable and insert it into the PowerCon port located on the back of the subwoofer.
2. Ensure that the grooves on the PowerCon cable line up with the grooves inside the port.
3. Twist the cable to the right until it clicks into place.
4. Plug the other end of the PowerCon cable into a power source.

E.) Adjust the Height (Optional)

If you prefer a lower array setup:

1. Replace the Long Spacer Pole with the Short Spacer Pole.
2. Ensure the silver circle on the new pole is facing the front.
3. Insert one end of the pole into the subwoofer's top port.
4. Attach the Array Speaker to the Short Spacer Pole by lining up and pushing it onto the connector.

Your TITAN MIX12C is now fully assembled and ready for use!

F.) Connecting Your Audio Source

• Use the input jacks on the back of the system to connect various audio devices:
  • Channels 1-4: Combo jacks for XLR or quarter-inch connections (use for microphones or instruments).
  • Channels 5-6: Quarter-inch jacks, ideal for devices with stereo output (e.g., keyboards or mixers).
  • Channels 7-8: RCA or 1/8-inch AUX inputs for connecting devices like laptops or turntables (phono preamp required).
• Use the volume knobs to adjust each channel’s output.

G.) Setting Up Bluetooth

1. To pair a Bluetooth device, press the Bluetooth button on channels 5 and 6.
2. On your Bluetooth device, search for “TITAN MIX12C” and pair with it.
3. Once connected, the Bluetooth light will stay solid.

H.) Using Multiple TITAN MIX12C Systems (TWS Setup)

1. Activate Bluetooth on both TITAN MIX12C systems by pressing the BT/TWS button.

Hold down the TWS button on one system for a few seconds. You’ll hear a sound, and the Bluetooth light on the other speaker will stay solid, indicating that the speakers are now linked together via TWS.

1. After linking, you can play music through both systems simultaneously by pairing a Bluetooth device.

I.) Adjusting Volume and Effects

• Master Volume: Adjust the overall system volume using the Master Volume knob.
• Subwoofer Volume: Control the subwoofer level with the Sub Level knob.
• Channel-Specific Effects: Use the DSP knob to cycle through 16 available effects for channels 1-4. Adjust the reverb knob to set the desired effect intensity.

Troubleshooting & FAQs:

Q: The Bluetooth light is blinking, but I can’t connect my device.

• Ensure that your Bluetooth device is in pairing mode and that “TITAN MIX12C” is visible in your Bluetooth settings.
• Try turning the Bluetooth feature off and back on for both the device and the system.

Q: The sound is distorted or too low.

• Check the input connections to ensure everything is securely plugged in.
• Adjust the volume levels on individual channels and the master volume knob.
• Ensure the subwoofer level is appropriately set.

Q: The mic or instrument is not coming through.

• Double-check that the correct mode (mic/instrument mode) is selected for the relevant channel.

Q: The array speaker won’t stay in place.

• Make sure that the spacer pole is securely connected to the subwoofer and that the array speaker is properly seated on the pole.

Q: The PowerCon cable doesn’t seem to connect properly.

• Ensure the grooves on the cable align properly with the grooves inside the PowerCon port. 
• Once aligned, twist the cable to the right until it clicks into place.
