Before using the PowerStage 100, please read and follow the steps listed below:
1.Heed all safety warnings when operating the PowerStage 100.
2.Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position and all volume levels are in the Min position.
3.Plug the female end of the supply cord into the Supply Cord Jack (item L page 5) of the PowerStage
100.Next, plug the supply cord into a power source with the correct voltage.
4.Connect the cord(s) from your microphone or other signal source(s) to the PowerStage 100's input jack(s).
5.If you have a PowerStage Xpander 100, connect it to the PowerStage 100 via the 1/4" Line Output Jack (item K).
6.First, turn all outboard gear, instruments and other equipment ON, then the PowerStage 100.
7.Adjust volume levels to the appropriate levels, listening for feedback or other ringing.
8.If feedback is encountered, rotate the appropriate (LOW or HIGH band) frequency notch filter control down to its lowest position. Next, slowly turn the frequency control knob to pinpoint the location of the problem frequency and cancel it.
9.Steps 7 and 8 may need to be performed more than once if several feedback problems occur.
