Overview

This document describes the Technical Pro xFIRE professional loudspeaker, a versatile audio system designed for various applications, offering robust performance and a range of connectivity options.

Function Description

The xFIRE is a self-contained professional loudspeaker system that integrates an amplifier, multiple audio inputs, and a media player. Its primary function is to amplify and reproduce audio from various sources, including guitars, microphones, external audio devices (via RCA, 1/8" AUX, and optical inputs), USB flash drives, SD cards, and Bluetooth-enabled devices. It also features an FM tuner for radio reception. The system includes an equalizer for sound customization and LED lighting effects that can respond to music. The xFIRE system appears to be designed as a master (R) and slave (L) speaker configuration, where the R speaker houses the main controls and amplifier, and the L speaker connects to the R speaker for audio and LED synchronization.
