is not harmful to the environment.

3 Applications

This active speaker system of the series
TXA-1020 is a combination of a two-way
speaker system and a class D amplifier
and is especially designed for mains-inde-
pendent operation. For power supply, the
unit is equipped with two lead gel batteries
that are charged when the unit is con-
nected to the mains. Thus, the unit is ide-
ally suited for mobile PA applications, e. g.
at events and lectures.
The active speaker system is equipped
with controllable inputs for the connection
of two microphones and two audio sources
with line signal level (e. g. CD / MP3 player)
as well as with two outputs (e. g. for the
connection of another active speaker sys-
tem). Audio data of a Bluetooth audio
source (e. g. smartphone) can be repro-
duced via the integrated Bluetooth receiver.
For operation with two wireless trans mitters,
the unit includes a two-channel receiving
module (2 × 16 channels in the UHF fre-
quency range 863.1 – 864.9 MHz). The
transmitters of the series TXA-800, for ex-
ample, may be used as wireless transmitters.
Additional equipment for model
TXA-1020USB:
Audio player to replay USB storage media
and memory cards

3.1 Conformity and approval

Herewith, MONACOR INTERNATIONAL
de clare that the receiving module of the unit
TXA-1020 / TXA-1020USB complies with
the directive 2014 / 53 / EU. The EU declara-
tion of conformity is available on request
from MONACOR INTERNATIONAL.
The receiving module is generally ap-
proved for operation in EU and EFTA coun-
tries; it is licence-free and requires no
registration.

4 Setting Up / Transporting

Place the unit as desired or mount it onto a
PA speaker stand via the stand sleeve on
its lower side.
For transporting, the unit is provided
with a telescopic handle. Push down the
unlock button at the lower side of the handle
and extract / retract the handle as de sired.

5 Power Supply

5.1 Mains operation /
recharging the batteries
1) To operate the unit via the mains and/or
to recharge the internal batteries, con-
nect the mains cable provided to the
mains jack (19) and to a mains socket
(230 V~ / 50 Hz).
2) When the unit is connected to the mains,
the batteries will be automatically re -
charged: During the recharge, the LED
indicators for the battery status (4) will
light up continuously one after the other.
It is not necessary to switch on the unit
for recharging; however, it can be oper-
ated during the recharging process.
Once the recharging process has been
completed, the LED "FULL" will light up
continuously.
3) After operation or after recharging the
batteries, disconnect the unit from the
mains to avoid unnecessary power con-
sumption.

5.2 Battery operation

During battery operation, the respective
LED (4) will indicate the charging state of
the rechargeable batteries:
80 – 100 % charged
less than 80 % charged
less than 50 % charged
less than 20 % charged
Important: To prevent damage to the batteries
due to deep discharge and to prevent a reduc-
tion of their lifetime, please observe the follow-
ing notes:
– Always fully recharge the batteries prior to ini-
tial operation and after longer storage.
– When the LED "20 %" starts flashing, the bat-
teries are almost discharged and should be
recharged as soon as possible.
– Fully recharge the batteries prior to longer
storage and at least every two months during
storage.

6 Audio Connections

Switch off the unit prior to making any con-
nection.

6.1 Inputs

Two microphones can be connected: via
an XLR plug or a 6.3 mm plug, to the jack
MIC 1 (18) or, via a 6.3 mm plug, to the jack
MIC 2 (17).
Audio units with line signal level (e. g.
CD/ MP3 player, mixer, tape deck, radio)
can be connected to the RCA jacks LINE IN
(13) and the 3.5 mm jack AUX IN (15). It is
possible to connect both mono units and
stereo units; in case of a stereo input sig-
nal, the left channel and the right channel
are combined to a mono signal.

6.2 Outputs

Additional audio units such as a recorder or
another active speaker system can be con-
nected to the outputs LINE OUT and AUX
OUT (14). At both outputs, the mixed signal
of the audio sources will be available, un -
affected by the tone controls (6) and the
control MASTER (11). At each output jack
– the two RCA jacks and the 3.5 mm jack –
a mono signal is available.

7 Operation

1) Prior to switching on the unit, set the
control MASTER (11) to "MIN".
2) To switch the unit on and off, use the
POWER switch (5). The switch will be
illuminated when the unit is switched on.
The battery status indicators (4) will indi-
cate the charging status of the recharge-
able batteries.
To prevent damage to the batteries by
deep discharge during battery operation,
a discharge protection will automatically
switch off the unit when required. How-
ever, due to self-discharge of the batter-
ies, a deep discharge may also occur
when the unit is not operated for a longer
period of time. Therefore, always ob-
serve the box "Important" in chap ter 5.2.
3) Switch on the audio sources that are to
be audible and then adjust their volume
with the corresponding controls / buttons
(see below); use the control MASTER
(11) to adjust the overall volume for the
active speaker system.
