Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Positioning Your Speaker

The Titan15 V2 offers multiple positioning options:

Pole mount (vertical): Use the 35mm pole mount located furthest back on the bottom of the speaker. This positions the speaker vertically at a 0-degree angle on a speaker stand.
Pole mount (tilted): Use the 35mm pole mount located toward the front. This positions the speaker at a 15-degree downward tilt, useful for directing sound toward an audience below.
Floor monitor: Lay the speaker on the floor for a monitoring setup.
Flown/suspended: Use the three M8 attachment points to fly (suspend) the speaker overhead.

2. Understanding the Rear Panel Controls

All controls are located on the back of the speaker.

Display: Shows the current volume level of the speaker, as well as input levels for Channel 1 and Channel 2.
Master Volume Knob: Controls the overall speaker volume. Also functions as a clickable button to access the DSP menu.

3. Using the DSP Menu

Click the master volume knob to enter the DSP menu. From here, you can make the following adjustments:

Mode (Preset EQ):

Click on "Mode" in the DSP menu.
Turn the control knob to cycle through preset EQ options: Music, Live, Speech, and DJ.

Delay (Time Alignment):

Navigate to the "Delay" section in the DSP menu.
Set a delay value to time-align this speaker with other speakers placed at different distances.

EQ (High, Mid, Low):

Click on "High," "Mid," or "Low" in the DSP menu.
Use the control knob to boost or cut that frequency range.

Sub (High Pass Filter):

Click on the "Sub" section in the DSP menu.
Select a crossover frequency: 40 Hz, 60 Hz, 80 Hz, or 100 Hz.
The speaker will play everything above the selected frequency, while everything below will be sent to your connected subwoofer.

LCD Dim:

Turn on to have the display dim automatically after 10 seconds.
Turn off to keep the display lit at all times.

Brightness and Contrast:

Adjust the overall brightness and contrast of the display to your preference.

Reset:

Use the reset button to revert any DSP changes back to factory defaults.

USB Port (side panel):

Located on the side of the speaker for firmware/service updates.

4. Connecting a Bluetooth Device

Press the Bluetooth/TWS button on the back of the speaker.
The Bluetooth indicator light will begin flashing, indicating the speaker is searching for a device.
On your smartphone or tablet, open Bluetooth settings.
Search for and select the device named "Titan15 V2."
You will hear a confirmation sound when the device is successfully connected.
Use the Channel 2 volume knob on the speaker to control the Bluetooth audio level.

5. Using the Input Channels

The Titan15 V2 has two input channels, each with a combo jack that accepts both XLR and 1/4-inch connections.

Mic/Line Switch:

Set the switch to Mic when connecting a microphone.
Set the switch to Line when connecting a line-level instrument (keyboard, synthesizer) or a mixer.

Aux Input (Channel 2 only):

Use the aux input on Channel 2 to connect devices via a 3.5mm auxiliary cable.

Pre-DSP Mix Output:

Use this XLR output to expand your setup by connecting additional speakers, subwoofers, or amplifiers.

6. Connecting a Mixer to the Speakers

Connect two XLR cables from the XLR outputs of your mixer to the inputs on your speakers (one cable per speaker). You may also use 1/4-inch cables if your mixer has 1/4-inch outputs.
On each speaker, set the input channel you are using to Line mode.
Raise the main mix level on your mixer.
Raise the level knob on the corresponding channel of each speaker (e.g., Channel 1 if you used Input 1).
Raise the master volume knob on both speakers.
Connect your microphones or instruments to the mixer. Audio will now come through the speakers.
Before connecting microphones or instruments, keep the main mix or individual channels on your mixer muted to avoid unwanted feedback or noise.
To expand further, use the XLR outputs on the speakers to connect additional subwoofers or amplifiers.

7. Setting Up TWS (True Wireless Stereo) Between Two Titan15 V2s

TWS allows you to wirelessly link two Titan15 V2 speakers for stereo Bluetooth playback.

Decide which speaker will be the primary and which will be the secondary.
Activate Bluetooth mode on both speakers by pressing the Bluetooth button on each.
On the primary speaker, press and hold the Bluetooth button for a few seconds.
Both Bluetooth indicator lights will turn red.
When the light on the primary speaker flashes and the light on the secondary speaker stays solid, the TWS link is established. You will hear a confirmation sound.
On your smartphone or tablet, open Bluetooth settings and pair with the device named "Titan15 V2."
Once paired, you will hear a confirmation sound indicating your device is connected to both speakers.
Raise the Channel 2 knob on both speakers.
Raise the master volume on both speakers.
Optionally, adjust volume using your Bluetooth device's volume controls.

Important: TWS only works for Bluetooth audio. If you plug a microphone into one of the linked speakers, it will only play through that speaker, not both.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: My Bluetooth device cannot find the speaker.

A: Make sure you have pressed the Bluetooth button and that the indicator light is flashing. If it is not flashing, the speaker is not in pairing mode.

Q: I connected a microphone but no sound is coming out.

A: Check that the Mic/Line switch is set to Mic mode on the channel you are using. Also ensure the channel level knob and master volume are turned up.

Q: I set up TWS but my microphone only plays through one speaker.

A: This is expected behavior. TWS only transmits Bluetooth audio wirelessly between the two speakers. Wired inputs (microphones, instruments) will only output from the speaker they are physically connected to.

Q: My speakers sound out of sync when placed far apart.

A: Use the Delay feature in the DSP menu to time-align the speakers.

Q: I made changes in the DSP menu and want to go back to default settings.

A: Use the Reset option in the DSP menu to restore factory settings.

The Rockville Titan15 V2 is a versatile powered speaker with multiple positioning options, built-in DSP controls, Bluetooth connectivity, and TWS stereo linking.
