Utilizzate apparecchiature bilanciate o modificate i collegamenti in modo tale da ridurre le interferenze al minimo. Non fate correre parallelamente cavi di segnale e cavi potenza.

Il circuito di terra dell’apparecchio collegato genera il cosiddetto “loop di terra”. Non scollegate per nessuna ragione le prese di terra di nessun apparecchio. Provate a collegare tutti gli apparecchi interessati alla medesima presa di corrente per mezzo di un’apposita presa multipla. Se neanche questo elimina il ronzio, utilizzate una DI box che offra un’uscita isolata.

Il suono in uscita alla presa LINE OUT è completamente distorto:

• Assicuratevi di aver collegato questa presa ad un ingresso linea (non

microfonico) bilanciato sulla console di mixaggio. Regolate la sensibilità di ingresso in modo corretto. Se non disponete di un ingresso linea bilanciato, utilizzatene uno sbilanciato.

Il livello di uscita dell’amplificatore è troppo basso:

Un apparecchio collegato al loop effetti riduce il livello del segnale. Regolatene il livello di ingresso e d’uscita in modo appropriato.

Il BassKick 101 è stato progettato per un utilizzo in studio. Per un utilizzo “live”, potrebbe essere necessario utilizzare un finale di potenza aggiuntivo e un ulteriore cabinet. Per incrementare il vostro volume, potete anche utilizzare il sistema PA attraverso la presa LINE OUT.
