4. Setup Guide
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the amplifier from its packaging. Retain all packaging materials for future transport or storage.
- Placement: Place the amplifier on a stable, flat surface. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. The amplifier is designed with an elevation angle for optimal sound projection towards the user.
- Power Connection: Connect the provided power cord to the amplifier's power input and then to a suitable electrical outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the 'OFF' position before connecting.
- Initial Power On: Flip the power switch to the 'ON' position. The power indicator light should illuminate.
- Volume Adjustment: Before connecting any instruments, ensure all volume knobs (Master, Drum, Line, Mic) are set to their minimum positions to prevent sudden loud sounds.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Connecting Instruments and Microphones
- Electronic Drums: Connect your electronic drum module's output to the 'DRUM IN' input using a standard instrument cable. Adjust the 'DRUM' volume knob to control the drum sound level.
- Other Instruments (Keyboard, Guitar): Use the 'LINE IN' inputs for connecting other instruments. Adjust the 'LINE' volume knob.
- Microphones: Connect microphones to the 'MIC 1' or 'MIC 2' inputs. Each microphone input has an independent volume control ('MIC VOL').
- Headphones: For private practice, connect headphones to the 'PHONES' output. This will mute the main speaker output.
5.2 Equalizer (EQ) Adjustment
The amplifier features a 3-band equalizer to shape your sound:
- BASS: Adjusts the low-frequency response. Turn clockwise to boost bass, counter-clockwise to cut.
- MID: Adjusts the mid-range frequency response. Turn clockwise to boost mids, counter-clockwise to cut.
- TREBLE: Adjusts the high-frequency response. Turn clockwise to boost treble, counter-clockwise to cut.
Experiment with these controls to achieve your desired tone for different instruments and musical styles.
5.3 Wireless and USB Playback
- Wireless (Bluetooth): Activate Bluetooth on your external device (e.g., smartphone, tablet). Select the amplifier from the list of available devices to pair. Once connected, you can play audio through the amplifier. Use the 'BT/MP3' volume control on the amplifier and your device's volume control.
- USB Playback: Insert a USB drive containing audio files into the 'USB' port. The amplifier will automatically detect and begin playing the files. Use the playback controls (play/pause, next/previous track) and the 'BT/MP3' volume control.
5.4 Master Volume
The 'MASTER' volume knob controls the overall output level of the amplifier. Adjust this after setting individual input volumes to achieve the desired total loudness.
