1.INPUT 1: Use this 1/4” jack to connect your keyboard or other line level signal to the amplifier by means of a shielded instru- ment cable. The signal level at this jack is controlled by the Level 1 knob (#3).

2.INPUT 2: Use this 1/4” jack to connect your keyboard or other line level signal to the amplifier by means of a shielded instru- ment cable. The signal level at this jack is controlled by the Level 2 knob (#4).

3.LEVEL 1: Use this control to adjust the level of the signal connected to the Input 1 jack (#1).

4.LEVEL 2: Use this control to adjust the level of the signal connected to the Input 2 jack (#2).

5.LOW: Use this control to adjust the bass response of the amplifier. Rotating the control counterclockwise reduces the low frequency output. Rotating the control clockwise increases the low frequency out- put. It may be necessary to reduce the Low frequency output at higher volume levels.

6.LO MID: Use this control to adjust the “thickness” or “fatness” of the amplifier. Rotating the control counterclockwise reduces the lower midrange frequency out- put. Rotating the control clockwise increas- es the lower midrange frequency output.

7.HI MID: Use this control to adjust the clarity and definition of the amplifier. Rotating the control counterclockwise reduces the upper midrange frequency out- put. Rotating the control clockwise increas- es the upper midrange frequency output.

8.HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high frequency response of the amplifier. Rotating the control counterclockwise reduces the high frequency output. Rotating the control clockwise increases the high frequency output.

9.CD INPUT: Use these RCA jacks to con- nect the output from a CD player or tape deck to the amplifier. The signal at these jacks is combined into a mono signal which is sent to the internal power amp circuit. Use the CD or tape player’s output level control to adjust the signal for the proper mix with your instrument.

10. (EXTERNAL SPEAKER): Use this jack to connect the amplifier to an external speaker. The internal speaker is discon- nected when this jack is used. The imped- ance of the external speaker must be 4 ohms or greater.

WARNING: Do not attempt to use head- phones in the Speaker jack! Permanent hearing damage could result!

11. (HEADPHONES): Use this jack to connect headphones to the amplifier. The internal speaker is disconnected when this jack is used. A line level signal can also be obtained from this jack for recording, etc.

CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to your hearing, do not use headphones for extended periods of time at extremely loud levels.

12.ON: This LED illuminates when the amplifier is turned on.

13.POWER: Use this switch to turn the amplifier on (top of the switch depressed) and off (bottom of the switch depressed).

14.POWER CORD (rear panel, not shown): The grounded power cord should only be plugged into a grounded power outlet that meets all applicable electrical codes and is compatible with the voltage, power, and frequency requirements stated on the rear panel. Do not attempt to defeat the safety ground connection.
