Overview

The Knox Gear KN-PAS02 Active Loudspeakers Combo Set is a versatile audio system designed for various applications, offering multiple input modes and control options for optimal sound performance. This combo set includes an active speaker and a passive speaker, allowing for a comprehensive audio setup.

Function Description:

The KN-PAS02 functions as an active loudspeaker system capable of playing audio from several sources, including USB drives, SD cards, Bluetooth-enabled devices, FM radio, and line-in connections. It is designed to deliver clear and powerful sound, suitable for events, performances, or general audio playback. The system features an integrated MP3 player, allowing direct playback of audio files from storage devices. It also supports True Wireless Stereo (TWS) functionality, enabling two KN-PAS02 active loudspeaker systems to connect wirelessly and play music simultaneously from a single Bluetooth source, enhancing the stereo sound experience. The system includes a microphone input with dedicated volume control, making it suitable for public address, karaoke, or vocal performances. An equalizer is built-in to allow users to adjust the sound profile to their preference, with options for various preset EQs.

Usage Features:

The KN-PAS02 offers a user-friendly interface with a control panel on the active speaker and a remote control for convenient operation.

Power and Volume Control:

To begin, the system is powered on using the On/Off Power Switch. The MP3 dial should be set to the minimum level before inserting any audio sources to prevent sudden loud sounds. Once an audio source is selected, the MP3 dial can be used to set the desired volume for the MP3 signal. Separate dials are provided for microphone input (Mic In) and line-in input (Line In) to adjust their respective volume levels independently. The remote control also provides volume up and down buttons for easy adjustment.

Input Modes:

The "Mode" button on the control panel or remote allows users to cycle through different input modes: Bluetooth, FM radio, Line In, and MP3 player (USB/SD). The system automatically switches to SD/USB mode when an SD card or USB device is inserted.

USB and SD Card Playback:

Users can insert a USB mass storage device or an SD card containing MP3 files into the designated ports. The system will automatically switch to MP3 mode. Playback controls include buttons for previous/next song, play/pause, and repeat/folder functions. The repeat function allows users to repeat all songs, a single song, or songs within a specific folder. Folder mode can be accessed by pressing and holding the Playback/TWS button, then using the previous/next song buttons to navigate folders.

Bluetooth Connectivity:

To use Bluetooth, select Bluetooth mode using the "Mode" button. The display will show "Blue." Users can then connect their Bluetooth-enabled device (e.g., tablet, smartphone, PC) by finding "Knoxgear" in their device's Bluetooth settings. Once connected, the device's volume should be set, and then the MP3 control on the loudspeaker system can be used to adjust the overall volume.

True Wireless Stereo (TWS):

For TWS functionality, two KN-PAS02 active loudspeaker systems are required. Both systems should be powered on and set to Bluetooth mode. One system is designated as the main (master) system. To sync them, hold down the TWS/Playback button on the main system for 5 seconds until a beeping tone is heard and the screen displays "br-A." The secondary (slave) system's screen will display "br-B." A Bluetooth device can then be connected to the main system, and audio will play simultaneously on both systems. To cancel TWS, hold the TWS button down for 5 seconds. It's important to note that TWS only works with Bluetooth audio and does not support FM radio, microphone, USB, or other connections on the secondary system.

Microphone Input:

A 1/4" connector is available for an unbalanced microphone or instrument. After turning on the power and setting the Mic In dial to MIN, the microphone can be inserted. The Mic In control is then used to set the desired volume for the microphone signal.

Line In Input:

The Line Input allows connection of external audio devices via RCA connectors. Similar to other inputs, the Line In dial should be set to MIN before connecting a device. After connecting, the volume on the external device should be set, and then the Line In dial can be used to adjust the system's volume. This feature is useful for connecting devices like entertainment systems without needing a mixer console.

FM Radio:

In FM mode, the Playback/TWS button can be pressed to scan for available radio stations, which will then be saved. The previous/next song buttons can be used to cycle through the saved stations.

Equalizer:

The built-in graphic equalizer allows for sound customization, with a capability of 12 dB cut or boost. The remote control offers preset EQs such as pop, rock, jazz, classical, and country.

Remote Control Functions:

The remote control provides comprehensive control over the system, including:

  • Folder Navigation: Buttons to go to the previous or next folder in SD/USB mode.
  • Mode Selection: A button to cycle through SD/USB, FM, Bluetooth, and Line In modes.
  • Track Navigation: Buttons for previous/next song in SD/USB mode and cycling through preset stations in FM mode.
  • Play/Pause/Scan: A button to play/pause in SD/USB mode and scan FM channels in FM mode.
  • Volume Control: Dedicated buttons to increase or decrease the volume.
  • EQ Presets: A button to select from five preset equalizer modes.
  • Direct Track Selection: Buttons for selecting MP3 track numbers. For double- or triple-digit tracks, specific buttons must be pressed before entering the number.

LED Lights:

The system includes LED lights that can be turned on or off via the LED Lights Power switch. These lights are volume-sensitive and only activate when the music reaches a certain volume level. If the lights do not turn on, increasing the volume may activate them.

Speaker Output:

The active speaker features a speaker output (8 Ohm) to connect to the passive speaker included in the combo set, creating a stereo sound experience.

Overload Indicator:

A red LED light serves as an overload indicator. If this light is constantly illuminated, it signals that the volume is too high and should be reduced to prevent distortion or damage.

Voltage Selector:

A 115-230 V selector allows the user to choose the appropriate voltage for the power supply, ensuring compatibility in different regions.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning:

The product should be cleaned with a dry cloth only, following the manufacturer's recommendations.

Safe Volume Levels:

To establish a safe listening volume, it is recommended to start at the lowest setting and gradually increase it until the sound is comfortable, clear, and free of distortion.

Transportation:

When moving the product, a suitable means of transportation should be used to prevent damage.

USB/SD Device Handling:

Always ensure that USB devices and SD cards are inserted correctly and gently to avoid damage. It is advisable to remove USB/SD devices before turning off the speaker.

General Safety:

The product contains no user-serviceable parts, and all servicing must be performed by a qualified technician. The housing of the unit should not be removed or tampered with, as this increases the risk of electric shock. The product should not be exposed to high temperatures, moisture, electricity, or used near exposed flames. The maximum operating temperature is 113°F. The unit should be unplugged when not in use.
