Quick Setup for the TransActive 50
yMake sure that all of the items listed on the front cover are included in the
TransActive 50’s box.

yStudy the Hookup Diagrams below.
yMake sure all equipment is turned off and all gain knobs are set to zero.
yConnect your keyboard, microphone, or other equipment to the TransActive 50.
yOnce everything is plugged in, turn everything on. Make sure to turn the
TransActive on last (after all other devices have been turned on).
yExperiment with the TransActive’s knobs and effect settings.

Front panel operation
Input Section (knobs #1 through #4):
These knobs let you set the input gain and effects send levels of your TransActive 50.
1. Channel 1 / Mic Volume – Raise or lower the volume for channel 1.
2. Channel 1 / Mic Effect – Determines how much of your channel 1 input is sent
to the TransActive50’s internal effects processor.
3. Channel 2 Volume – Raise or lower the volume for channel 2.
4. Channel 2 Effect – Determines how much of your channel 2 input is sent to the
TransActive50’s internal effects processor.
Master Section (knobs #5 through #9):
These knobs let you apply EQ to your signal, select the digital effect you’d like to hear,
and set your output level.
5. Bass – Boost or cut bass levels by +/- 10 dB.
6. Mid – Boost or cut the midrange by +/- 10 dB.
7. Treble – Boost or cut treble levels by +/- 10 dB.
8. Effect Selector – Selects one of the 15 effects available in the TransActive’s
internal effects processor. Set this knob to “off” if you’d like to bypass the effects
processor. For more information about the effects, see the section entitled “The
TransActive’s internal effects.”
9. Master Volume – Sets the main output level of the speaker.

Rear panel operation
1.
Channel 1 / Mic In –
Plug a microphone into
this input using an XLR cable.
2.
Channel 1 / Line In –
Use ¼” cables to connect
synthesizers, drum machines, and other devices.
For mono sources, use whichever input you’d like.
3.
Headphones –
Plug in your headphones using a
¼” stereo plug. Using the headphone jack
disconnects the TransActive’s internal speaker.
4.
Power –
This switch turns your TransActive 50 on and off. When you turn on
the speaker, the blue light bar above the front panel will illuminate.
5.
Power Cord Outlet
– Plug a standard IEC power cable
into this jack and into a properly grounded AC outlet.
The TransActive’s internal power supply automatically
adjusts to any voltage worldwide.
6.
Channel 2 –
Use ¼” cables to connect synthesizers,
drum machines, and other devices. For mono sources,
use whichever input you’d like.
Channel 1 Inputs
You cannot use the ¼” and
XLR inputs at the same time.
Once you plug ¼” connectors
into the TransActive 50, the
XLR input will become
inactive.
Balanced vs. Unbalanced
For the cleanest signal, use
“balanced” tip-ring-sleeve
(TRS) cables. “Unbalanced”
tip-sleeve (TS) cables may
also be used, but they are
more likely to conduct hum
and other electromagnetic
noise.

7.
Aux In
– This input allows you to hook up a CD player,
DJ mixer, or any other line-level source to the
TransActive 50. This is useful if you want to play along
to a DAT, CD player, or some other source.
8.
Aux Out –
These ¼” outputs let you send your mixed
signal to another device (such as a recorder or mixing
board).
9.
Stereo Bus Link –
If
you own a pair of TransActive 50 monitors, you can use
this output to connect the two speakers and to use them in stereo. For more
information about this, see the section entitled “Using a Pair of TransActives in
Stereo.”
10.
Link Channel Switch (Left, Right, Off) –
If
you are using a pair of
TransActives in a stereo configuration (using the Stereo Bus Link connection), use
this switch to determine which side the speaker should be on. See the section
entitled “Using a Pair of TransActives in Stereo” for more about this switch.
About the Aux Input
This input goes straight to the
main output and does not
have its own level control on
the front. If you’d like raise
or lower the volume of this
input, use the volume control
on your source.

Mounting Your TransActive 50
The TransActive 50 features two different mounting options allowing you to place the
speaker almost anywhere. The speaker has a 5/8” (16mm) threaded mount on its bottom as
well as a standard wall mount bracket on its rear.
The 5/8” threaded mount allows you to place your TransActive monitor on a microphone
stand. This setup is useful for live performance situations in which the TransActive 50 is
used as a “stage monitor” for a performer to hear him/herself while on stage. This setup is
also ideal for when the TransActive is used as a small PA system. Given the size/weight of
the TransActive 50, you’ll want to mount the speaker on a sturdy “tripod-style” mic stand
for maximum stability.
The wall mount bracket allows you to mount your TransActive on walls or even or ceilings.
This option is ideal for permanent or semi-permanent mounting situations where the
speaker needs to be placed once and left alone. This option may also be useful in situations
where space is at a premium because the speaker will not occupy floor or desk space. This
speaker uses a common wall mounting bracket which is compatible with many solutions
currently available.

Using your TransActive in Mono
Your TransActive50 is ready to go right out of the box. If
you plug in a microphone (or keyboard), power up the unit,
and turn up the channel and main volume knobs, you should
be able to hear yourself (or your keyboard). Make sure the
Link Channel Switch (directly underneath the “Stereo Bus
Link” jack) is set to “Off.” If this switch is set incorrectly,
you may be hearing only one channel of your line level
inputs. See the diagram below:
If you’ve plugged in your
keyboard (or other stereo
source) but you’re only
hearing one side of the stereo
signal, your Link Channel
Switch is probably set
incorrectly.
Set this switch to “Off” to
hear both channels of your
s
tereo source.

Using a Pair of TransActives in Stereo
The TransActive 50 has a special connector on its rear labeled “Stereo Bus Link.” This
connection allows you to use a pair of TransActive monitors in stereo using a single TRS
cable to link the two TransActives together. See the diagram below for how to hook up the
speakers:
When you are using a pair of TransActives 50s in stereo, you
need to make sure your Link Channel Switch (located
directly below the Stereo Bus Link jack) is set correctly.
Your left speaker needs to be set to “Left” while the right
speaker needs to be set to “Right.” If either speaker is set to
“Off” the link will not work correctly. If you reverse your
“Left” and “Right” settings, your stereo image will be flipped.
Note that in this configuration, all inputs remain active. In other words, if you have a
microphone (or keyboard) plugged into either one of your TransActive 50s, the signal will be
shared among both units and your stereo image is preserved.
Link Channel Switch
If you don’t hear sound
coming out of one of your
channels when using your
TransActives in stereo, make
sure the Link Channel Switch
is set to “Left” on one
speaker and “Right” on the
other.

The TransActive’s internal effects
The TransActive contains an advanced digital effects processor with fifteen different
programs. Here are those programs as you rotate the Master section’s Effect Selector knob
clockwise, beginning at the “off” position (with the knob pointing straight down).
Effect name Description
Rotary
Rotary speaker emulation. This effect is
especially popular with organ sounds.
Hall 1
The reverberation of a bright concert hall.
Hall 2
The reverberation of a warm concert hall.
Delay 1
A short (125 millisecond) slapback delay.
Delay 2
A longer (190 millisecond) and longer-lasting
(more regenerative) delay.
Chorus
Stereo chorusing, which adds a thickness to the
sound.
Flange
Stereo flanging, which alters the phase of
incoming audio signals to produce jet-airplane-
like whooshing sounds.
Room 1
The ambience of a studio constructed with hard
wood walls.
Room 2
A room sound optimized to acoustic instruments
and synthesizers. Reverberation time is shorter
than that for the other rooms.
Room 3
A room sound optimized for guitars and other
rhythm instruments.
Plate 1
The classic plate reverb sound for vocals and
lead instruments.
Plate 2
A brighter, more sizzling plate reverb sound that
works well on vocals and drums.
Plate 3
A warmer, more vintage sounding plate reverb
sound.
Chorus/Room 1
A combination of chorus and reverb.
Chorus/Room 2
A darker-sounding combination of chorus and
reverb, with a touch of wah-wah.
Choose an effect by using the Master section’s Effect Selector knob. Then, within each
individual channel, rotate the channel’s Effect knob to increase or decrease the amount of
the effect to be applied to that channel.
Turn the Effect Selector knob to “off” to disable the onboard effects.
