What connection options do I have with the ROCKSTER?
For more information, please refer to theuser manual on page 20.
The Bluetooth, LINE 1, LINE 2, INSTR and MIC inputs are switched to the mixer channels via the source switches (16) and (21):
| Connection | Explanation |
|
MASTER IN (24) - For MASTER-COMPANION operation with several ROCKSTERs: The ROCKSTER operated as a COMPANION receives its audio signal via these female XLR connections. You can also connect an external mixing console to this input. |
|
|
LINE 1 (23) - RCA sockets for connecting a CD player. Switched to mixer channel 1. Line 1 has an input level specific to CD players that is lower than Line 2 (25). LINE 2 (25) 3.5 mm jack socket for connecting an MP3 player or a smartphone, for example. Switched to mixer channel 2 |
|
|
INSTR. (22) Mono 6.3 mm jack socket for connecting an instrument, e.g. electric guitar or bass. Switched to mixer channel 1. MIC (26) Female XLR socket for connecting a microphone without supply voltage. Switched to mixer channel 2. |
|
|
Bluetooth® connection: This is only possible with the ROCKSTER in MASTER mode - Bluetooth® is deactivated in COMPANION mode. To start pairing, press the PAIRING button (43) for channel 1 or (27) for channel 2. |
|
|
USB You can only use the USB port on the back to power mobile devices (e.g. smartphone, tablet). It is not possible to play music. |
When does which LED light up/flash and why?
| LED | LED behavior | Meaning |
|
Bluetooth® |
flashes blue | ROCKSTER is in pairing mode |
| lights up blue continuously | ROCKSTER and source device are connected | |
| CHARGING | lights up briefly, then goes out | Internal battery is charging |
|
LED BATTERY STATUS (39) "INT." and LED BATTERY STATUS (39) "EXT." |
lights up constantly
|
Battery charge level > 50 % |
| flashes slowly | Battery charge status 50-25 % | |
| Flashes quickly | State of charge of the battery < 25 % | |
| POWER | Flashes red and green | Indicates overheating (technical defect/user error). |
| Flashes red |
If you press the power button for too long, your ROCKSTER wants to install an update from the USB stick. If no USB stick is connected, it goes into "flashing status" after the boot attempt to show that it has not found an update file. If you then press and hold the power button again, it will switch off and can then be switched on again. |

Why doesn't my ROCKSTER seem to be working?
- Check the power supply:
- What is the charge level of the battery? If it is almost empty, connect your ROCKSTER to a mains socket immediately.
- Is your ROCKSTER switched off or without power?
- Check the power cable and the socket.
- If everything is OK with the battery, mains cable and socket, but the ROCKSTER still remains switched off, then check the mains fuse:
Fig. 1: Remove the mains cable. Carefully pull out the fuse switch on the mains connection socket.
Fig. 2: Push out the old fuse downwards. A replacement fuse is located in the removed compartment and is inserted and the holder is pushed back.
- Check the volume:
- As a test, increase the volume with the MAIN VOLUME control on the rear panel and the mixer (on the top panel) with the VOLUME controls for channel 1 and VOLUME for channel 2.
- If your source device is connected via Line In, then carefully increase the volume on this device.
- Check the Bluetooth connection
- Is the ROCKSTER selected as the output device on your source device/smartphone/player? Have you selected the correct connection, i.e. the channel used? If you want to play your music via Bluetooth® on Channel 1, select" ROCKSTER-1", for Channel 2 select "ROCKSTER-2" as the output device.
- Is the Bluetooth® connection disturbed? Other wireless systems (e.g. cordless phone or microphone, Wi-Fi), but also crowds of people can interfere with the connection. Place the ROCKSTER and/or source device in a different location for testing purposes.
- Check the INPUT:
- If no sound comes out of the ROCKSTER even though all the controls on the mixing console are set correctly, it may still be because the Input Select switch is set to Master IN. In single mode, this should be set to Channel 1/2
- If no sound comes out of the ROCKSTER even though all the controls on the mixing console are set correctly, it may still be because the Input Select switch is set to Master IN. In single mode, this should be set to Channel 1/2
What can I do if the ROCKSTER is humming?
Cause: The ROCKSTER is connected to a different circuit to the rest of the system.
Solution: Connect the ROCKSTER and source device/preamplifier to the same circuit.
Cause: The humming is caused by electrical interference.
Solution: Connect all devices via a power strip.
Cause: The humming is caused by a multiple socket outlet.
Solution: Use another multiple socket or connect the ROCKSTER directly to the wall socket.
Can the ROCKSTER also be operated from a car socket (12 V)?
The ROCKSTER can be operated indirectly via a car socket by connecting a standard 12V to 230V voltage converter between the car socket and the ROCKSTER power cable.

What is the best way to store the ROCKSTER?
If you are storing your ROCKSTER for a longer period without a mains connection (e.g. in winter), prepare it accordingly:
- Connect your ROCKSTER to the mains and allow the battery to charge fully (see "The battery" on page 27 in the operating instructions).
- Remove the battery from the battery compartment and store it in a cool, dry place at 10 to 20 °C. Protect the battery from humidity and direct sunlight.
- Store the ROCKSTER in a dry place at a storage temperature of +10 to +40 °C. Protect your ROCKSTER from direct sunlight.
For longer periods of storage without use, we recommend fully charging the device at least once a month.
