The Rear Panel:

18.FUSE: This fuse protects the amplifier against damages caused by overload condi- tions in the unit. If the fuse blows, replace it only with the same size and type as indicated on the rear panel. If the fuse blows continually, the line voltage may be incorrect, or the amp may need servicing.

19.AC LINE IN: Firmly plug the female end of the supplied power cord into this socket, push- ing 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 converters if needed.

20.CHANNEL SELECT FOOTSWITCH JACK: Connect a stereo 1/4”plug (tip/ring/sleeve) here from either a two or three button footswitch (such as the Crate CFP-2 or CFP-3) for control of channel switching. The tip of the jack is for the channel switching; the ring is for boost con- trol. When a footswitch is connected here, the front panel channel select and boost switches are disabled.

21.REVERB FOOTSWITCH JACK: Connect a mono 1/4”plug (tip/sleeve) here from either a one or three button footswitch for reverb on/off control.

22.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. The send jack also doubles as a "preamp out" jack, to feed a post-eq signal to a mixing board, recording console or external amplifier.

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. The return jack also doubles as a "power amp in" jack, to feed a line-level signal directly into the BV-60/62's internal power amp. This is useful when "slaving" two amplifiers together.

24.BALANCED OUT JACK: This XLR connec- tor supplies a balanced output signal from the power amp for patching into a mixing board, recording console or external amplifier. The sig- nal is electronically compensated to simulate the sound of a “miked” cabinet.

25.SPEAKER JACKS: Use these unbalanced 1/4" jacks to connect the amplifier to your speaker cabinet(s) as shown below.

NOTE: You may use any configuration of impedances shown at the speaker output jacks. Impedance matching is automatic: simply connect the cabinet(s) to the jack(s) labeled with the corresponding imped- ance(s).

To avoid damaging the amplifier and the speaker cabinets, don’t use two 4 ohm cabi- nets, or one 8 ohm and one 4 ohm cabinet at the same time. Do not connect a single 16 ohm cabinet to the speaker output jacks.

A SPEAKER LOAD MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE AMPLIFIER TO AVOID DAMAGING THE UNIT.
