The Rear Panel:

19.IMPEDANCE SELECTOR: For the best performance and least strain on your amplifier, you MUST properly match the impedance of your amplifier to that of your speaker cabinet(s). Set the selector switch to the 8 or 16 ohm position, depending on the total impedance of your speaker cabi- net(s). The chart below can help you deter- mine that impedance based on the follow- ing combinations of speakers connected in parallel.

CAB. IMP.	# OF CABS.	TOTAL IMP.
8 OHMS	1	8 OHMS
16 OHMS	1	16 OHMS
16 OHMS	2	8 OHMS
32 OHMS	2	16 OHMS
32 OHMS	4	8 OHMS

20.MAIN SPEAKER JACK: Use this jack to connect the amplifier to your primary speaker cabinet. Always keep the imped- ance at 8 or 16 ohms, with the impedance selector switch (#19) at the proper setting.

NOTE: Use the MAIN SPEAKER jack first. Then, if an extension speaker is desired, connect it to the EXT. SPEAKER jack.

21.EXT. SPEAKER JACK: Use this jack to connect the amplifier to a secondary speaker cabinet, after a speaker has been connected to the main speaker jack (#20).

22.LINE OUT JACK: This 1/4” jack sup- plies a line-level output signal from the power amp for patching into a mixing board, recording console or external ampli- fier. The signal is tapped directly from the speaker outputs, then attenuated and elec- tronically compensated to simulate the sound of a “miked” cabinet.

23.EFFECTS LOOP RETURN: Connection from an external effects device is made via this jack. Connect a shielded instrument patch cord from the output jack of the effect to the return jack. This jack is active only when the effects loop is switched in. The return jack also doubles as a "power amp in" jack, to feed a line- level signal directly into the BV-60H/120H's internal power amp. This is useful when "slaving" two amplifiers together.

24.EFFECTS LOOP SEND: Connection to an external effects device is made via this jack. Connect a shielded instrument patch cord from the send jack to the input jack of the effect. This jack is always active. The send jack also doubles as a "preamp out" jack, to feed a post-eq,pre-amplified signal to a mixing board, recording console or external amplifier.

25. FOOTSWITCH JACK: Connect a stereo 1/4” (tip/ring/sleeve) here from a two-button footswitch (such as the Crate CFP-2) for remote control of channel switching and the effects loop. The tip of the jack is for the channel switching; the ring is for the effects loop. When a footswitch is connected here, the front panel channel select and effects loop switches are disabled.

26.AC LINE IN: Firmly plug the female end of the supplied power cord into this socket, pushing it in until it is fully seated. Plug the male end of the cord into a properly grounded AC outlet of the correct voltage.

DO NOT DEFEAT THE GROUND PIN OF THE AC PLUG! Use only the supplied power cord. If the amplifier is to be used outside of the United States, see your authorized Crate dealer for information about alternate line cords and power con- verters if needed.

27.FUSE: This fuse protects the amplifier against damages caused by overload con- ditions in the unit. If the fuse blows, replace it only with the same size and type as indi- cated on the rear panel. If the fuse blows continually, the line voltage may be incor- rect, or the amp may need servicing.
