Thank you for your purchase of a Fender SPL-M500
Stage Monitor Power Amplifier. We are sure you will
find it to be a useful and unique product, providing
years of trouble free service in both permanent and
portable applications. Although intended primarily
for portable stage monitor use, the SPL-M500 is
also effective in sound reinforcement applications
where fixed microphones are used and feedback is
a problem.
Employing a unique design, the SPL-M500 provides
a powerful tonal control system which fights
feedback while optimizing sound. This design is
comprised of a sweepable high pass filter, a
sweepable low pass filter and three advanced
narrow band notch filters.
This manual is arranged into four sections:
- A description of the SPL-M500 panel features.
