Making Connections

Microphone Input Connect a microphone using a balanced XLR microphone cable. While speaking or singing at performance level into the microphone, slowly raise the channel MIC/LINE VOLUME control until you have reached the desired level. NOTE: If not using the Mic Input, turn the MIC/LINE VOLUME control all the way down to keep out any unwanted noise.
Aux Input Connect a line level device using 1⁄8” (3.5mm) cable. Set the output volume of your audio device to it's maximum setting. While playing music from a line level audio source, slowly raise the AUX/BLUETOOTH VOLUME control until you have reached the desired level.
XPD Wireless Input Plug the XPD USB receiver into the XPD Wireless USB jack. Turn the MIC/LINE VOLUME knob on the Express+ completely counterclockwise to 0. Place a fresh set of AA (LR6) batteries in the transmitter battery holder, taking care to observe the polarity markings, then replace the cover. Turn on the power to the transmitter by pressing and holding Power switch; the indicator LED will light amber. Speak or sing into the mic at a normal performance level and raise the MIC/LINE VOLUME control until the desired level is reached.
Bluetooth®  Turn the BLUETOOTH VOLUME control down counterclockwise to 0. With the Express+ and your Bluetooth device powered on; press the PAIR button on the rear panel of the Express+ to make the speaker discoverable. The Pairing indicator will slowly flash blue.  In the settings of your Bluetooth device, set it to “discover” available devices. From the Bluetooth device list, select the “Express Plus” device. If your device asks for a passkey, enter digits 0000 (four zeros) and press OK. Some devices may also ask you to accept the connection. The Express+ speaker indicates that pairing is complete when the indicator turns steady blue. You can now stream audio from your device to the Express+ speakers. With the volume control on your Bluetooth device turned up, play some music, and slowly raise the Express+ LINE/BLUETOOTH VOLUME control until you have reached the desired level.
