Quick Setup Guide
THINK SAFETY FIRST!
Much of the setup of the Escort
2000 is similar to the setup of other sound systems, and many aspects require
plain common sense. Safety should always be your first concern. Always use grounded outlets and 3-wire extension
cords. Run sound system cables in a way to prevent the danger of tripping, and tape them down where necessary.
Place the speaker stands on a solid, level surface. Following these guidelines will help prevent personal injury and
equipment damage.
Setting Up Speakers
Place the unit so that the speakers form the upper part of the case. Release the latches by lifting up until the latch
disengages. Remove the speakers from the Escort package.
NOTE: The latches can be closed once the speakers are removed and it is recommended that they be closed to avoid
interference with removal of components and to protect the latch. Close the latch by pushing in until it is flush with the
side of the case, and then down until it locks.
Remove the speaker stands from the case. Be sure the legs on the stands are fully extended to provide a stable base for
the speakers, and are positioned on a level surface. Tighten the thumbscrew on the base so that it is snug, but do not
overtighten (Fig. 1). Raise the speaker stands to the desired height, tighten thumbscrew, and install the safety pin as
shown (Fig. 2).

Place speakers on stands and position them so that they will face the audience and face away from the microphones.
Connect speaker cables from the jack on the lower front of each speaker to the powered mixer, connecting the left
speaker to the LEFT OUTPUT and the right speaker to the RIGHT OUTPUT jacks on the rear panel of the unit (Fig. 3).

Warning! Do not connect additional speakers to the Escort 2000 powered mixer. The system speakers provide the
optimal load for the amplifier.
