The PRODG i 603 A is a versatile, active 2-way loudspeaker system designed for professional digital generation applications. It functions as an all-purpose speaker suitable for various audio needs, including live performances, presentations, and general sound reinforcement.
Function Description:
The i 603 A is an active loudspeaker, meaning it has a built-in amplifier. It features multiple input channels, allowing for the connection of microphones, instruments, and line-level audio sources. The speaker is equipped with a 2-band channel EQ (Treble and Bass controls) and a Reverb effect, providing users with tools to shape their sound. It also includes Bluetooth and TWS (True Wireless Stereo) functions for wireless audio streaming and creating a stereo sound setup with another i 603 A unit. The system is designed for portability and can be used with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery for up to 6 hours of operation at normal volume, making it suitable for outdoor or remote applications where power outlets may not be readily available.

Usage Features:
- Input Flexibility: The i 603 A offers two combo XLR/Jack input channels, each with a mic/line switch, allowing direct connection of microphones (XLR) and instruments (TS unbalanced) or line-level sources. An additional XLR input is provided for connecting line sources from a mixer or audio interface for both left and right channels.
- Sound Shaping: Dedicated Treble and Bass controls enable users to adjust the high and low-frequency balance of their audio. A Reverb control adds depth and ambiance to the sound.
- Signal Monitoring: A Signal/Clip indicator provides visual feedback on the input signal status, turning green for signal present and red for signal clipping, helping users prevent distortion by adjusting volume levels.
- Wireless Connectivity: Bluetooth pairing allows for wireless streaming from compatible devices like mobile phones, tablets, and laptops. The TWS (True Wireless Stereo) function enables two i 603 A units to be paired wirelessly for a stereo sound experience.
- Output Options: A ¼" TRS Line Output allows for connecting the i 603 A to the input of a second i 603 A to create a mono, two-loudspeaker setup. This output is post-mix, meaning it sends the processed signal.
- Portability and Mounting: The compact and lightweight design, combined with a built-in rechargeable battery, makes the i 603 A highly portable. It offers multiple mounting options, including a 35mm pole mount, tilt-back for stage monitoring (30° angle), floor monitor (45° angle), and compatibility with an optional wall/ceiling mount bracket.
- Select Switch: A dedicated switch allows users to select between guitar or microphone input modes, optimizing the sound processing for the chosen source.
