Make note of the following precautions when using the BLENDER under battery power.
1) To avoid excessive battery drain (Battery life is an estimated 15 hours continuous use):
a. Unplug the STEREO IN jack when the the unit is not being used.
b. When using the BLENDER without a mini-electret microphone, be sure the Phantom Power is OFF
(switch is pushed IN).
2) To avoid hazardous TURN ON/OFF TRANSIENTS:
a. Always plug into the STEREO IN jack before turning on your amplifier or PA System.
b. Always unplug the STEREO IN jack after turning off amplifier or PA System.
3) Under battery power, the AUX / MIC IN jack will work only when the STEREO IN jack is plugged in.
(See Page 12 # 3)
BATTERY COMPARTMENT
To replace the battery
(See Page 10)
lift the battery compartment lid on the top of the BLENDER
and install a 9 Volt alkaline battery.
STEREO IN
The STEREO IN jack is a TRS (Tip / Ring Sleeve) input that can accept two discrete signals through
a stereo instrument cable.
The STEREO IN jack can function in two modes:
1) MICROPHONE and TRANSDUCER CHANNELS OPERATION (Stereo Cable): Two signals from your instrument
(For example: Internal microphone and pickup) are routed through a stereo instrument cable to the STEREO IN jack.
The Ring signal goes to the MICROPHONE channel and the Tip signal goes to the TRANSDUCER channel.
2) TRANSDUCER CHANNEL ONLY OPERATION (Mono Cable): One signal from your instrument is routed through
a mono instrument cable to the STEREO IN jack. This signal goes to the TRANSDUCER channel.
AUX / MIC IN
Accepts a mono signal from a microphone or pickup. This signal is controlled by the the MICROPHONE channel.
The AUX / MIC IN jack can provide 4.5 Volt Phantom Power to a mini-condenser microphone.
This input can accept either magnetic or piezo pickups. Piezo signals will have a slight roll off at lower frequencies.
The AUX / MIC IN jack is an alternative to the Ring terminal of the STEREO IN jack.
Sometimes, using a stereo instrument cable for both of your signals is not practical. The AUX / MIC IN jack allows
you the option of sending two signals through separate mono instrument cables to both the AUX / MIC IN jack and
the STEREO IN jack.
AUX/MIC IN OVERRIDE: If you are sending two signals through the STEREO IN jack and you plug a third signal
into the AUX/MIC IN, the signal appearing at the RING of the STEREO IN jack will be replaced (overridden) by
the signal appearing at the AUX / MIC IN jack.

The BLENDER has no ON/OFF switch. Under battery power, the BLENDER is turned on only when the
STEREO IN jack is plugged in.
Power is always on when using an AC Adapter (See Page 11).
