REAR PANEL CONTROLS
10. COOLING VENTS
The rear vents are for cooling the internal power amps. Provide a minimum of 3” of clearance for adequate ventilation. Blocking the air flow to these vents will cause the amp to thermally protect and turn the speaker relays off. If this happens, clear the obstruction first, keep the power on, and turn the guitar volume down allowing the amp to cool. The amp will engage the speaker relays when cooling conditions return to normal.
11. EFFECTS LOOP
The EFF LOOP SEND and RETURN jacks are used to connect external effects into the RedLine’s signal chain. The loop is inserted after the main EQ and compressor but before the graphic EQ. To use the effects loop, connect the SEND jack to the input of the effects unit and connect the RETURN jack to the output of the effects unit. The effects loop can be turned on and off by using the optional FS22 footswitch. When the footswitch is not connected, the loop will default to the ON position. The status of the effects loop is indicated on the front panel by a YELLOW LED marked EFF LOOP.
12. PREAMP / DIRECT OUT XLR
The PREAMP XLR is a balanced output that can be configured in a number of different ways. The LINE / DIR switch is used to select a pre or post pre amp feed. In the “LINE” position, the feed is post the preamp section and contains all of the signal processing and effects that are being used. In the “DIR” position, a direct feed is taken off of the bass guitar and is sim- ilar to using a direct input box at the input jack. To set the output, use the DIRECT OUT LEVEL control. A GROUND LIFT switch is also available on the preamp out XLR jack. Set this switch for the lowest noise when using this output. When the GND / LIFT switch is depressed, the signal ground is lifted from this jack thus eliminating any ground loops between the RedLine preamp out and the gear it is feeding.
13 & 14. PREAMP INSERT JACKS (HI FREQ & LOW FREQ)
Both preamp inserts are TRS
15. FOOTSWITCH
Connect the optional FS22 footswitch to remotely control the nine band graphic EQ and the effects loop. The first button on the FS22 turns the graphic EQ on and off and the second button turns the effects loop on and off. Any standard footswitch with a stereo plug will work.
16. PHONES JACK
A PHONES jack is provided for practicing or as a place to hook up a tuner. Use any high quality headphones with an impedance greater than 50Ω when connecting to this jack. The phones jack does not interrupt the amplifiers output so a tuner can be left plugged into this jack while playing. When using a Tip / Sleeve (mono) cable to attach gear such as a tuner to the phones jack, insert the cable to the first click mono position of the jack.
17. SPEAKER OUTPUTS
The R600/R1000 amp contains two 1/4” and two
18. BRIDGE SPEAKER OUTPUTS
The R600 produces 600 watts (bridged mono) into a 4Ω load or 500 watts into an 8Ω load. The R1000 produces 1000 watts (bridged mono) into a 4Ω load or 700 watts into an 8Ω load. To activate, push the rear recessed BRIDGE switch “IN” with a pencil and plug the speak- ers into the BRIDGE ONLY 1/4” or
19. INTERNAL FUSE
If there are high AC voltage surges or if the amp is used with excessive loads, the internal fuse will protect your amp from damage. If the fuse fails, the proper replacement fuses for 120 VAC models are;
240 VAC models;
20. AC LINE CORD
All RedLine Series bass amplifiers are supplied with detachable three conductor AC line cords. Make sure the cord is securely inserted into the back of the unit. Never defeat the ground of the AC line cord as it is there for your protection. If you must plug into a two prong outlet, use a quality 3 to 2 prong grounded adapter and properly ground it.
TWEETER ATTENUATOR SWITCHES (LEVELS)
For Carvin RL210T, RL410T or RL810T bass systems with tweeters.
Attenuation switches allow you to reduce your tweeter levels in 3dB increments.
