In the parallel mode affected signals are mixed to the dry sound.  When it is set at 100% 
your entire bass sound is being processed by the effect in the loop.   
 
In series mode, the effects in the loop process the entire sound of your bass.  If you pull 
the return pot out for series operation without any effects in the loop, the loop will be 
open and no sound will result.

This controls the output level of the power amp.

XLR Balanced Output 
 

Use the –40db pre-eq setting in a concert situation where the house mixer is taking a 
signal into the house-mixing console.  The house mixer is now getting his feed after the 
preamp stage, but can use appropriate eq for the venue. The eq on stage will still be 
controlled by your settings.  If the house mixer wants your eq settings included in the 
mix, set the control to –40 post eq.  The –40 level is correct output level for going into a 
preamp on a mixer.  Our balanced output uses the highest quality Jensen output 
transformer.  If you hear any ground noise, change the position of the ground lift switch 
under the output.

Speaker Outputs 
 

¼” outputs:   4 ohms and 8 ohms are provided 
 
For a proper connection 12 gauge or larger speaker cable is recommended 
 
The DB 359 provides full power at 4 or 8 ohms impedance.  It is required that you take 
care to use the proper impedance output for your speaker load.  If your speaker cabinet is 
8 ohms (this information is usually on the jack plate of the speaker cabinet) simply use 
the 8 ohm output.  For a 4 ohm cabinet use the 4 ohm output. 
If you are using two 8 ohm cabinets in series (one is connected to the back of the first 
speaker cabinet), the impedance value is halved, and you should use the 4 ohm output.  If 
you are using two 4 ohm cabinets and need a 2 ohm output, the DB359 can accept this 
load with a factory modification.
