MB SERIES
Quick Start
The MB Series amplifier is designed to be simple
to operate. All controls have a well defined
purpose. These directions will take you through
the basics and give you a good start for setting up
your sound.
1. Plug it in:
Set the power switch to Off and connect the
supplied power cord, from the amplifier AC
receptacle, to an AC power outlet of proper
voltage and power rating (see safety information
on page 5 for details).
2. Connect your cabinets:
Connect your speaker cabinets to the amplifier
outputs marked Speaker. The MB features dual
use speaker connections. These unique jacks
allow for Speakon or 1/4” plugs to be used. Be
sure not to exceed the recommended speaker load
as noted below.
Maximum Recommended Speaker Loads:
One 4 Ohm, or two 8 Ohm cabinets.
3. Initial front panel control settings:
Set all EQ controls and contour knob to 12
o’clock. Set the input volume controls at 0.
4. Plug in your bass:
Using an instrument (shielded) cable, connect
your bass to the Input jack and press the power
switch on. If you have active tone controls on your
bass, turn all of the controls to the middle or flat
position and turn the volume all the way up. If you
have conventional, passive tone controls, turn all
tone and volume controls all the way up.
5. Level and Master Volume settings:
Set the Master Volume to 3 o’clock. Turn the
Input Volume knob up as you play to the desired
output level. If the clip light (pad button) flashes
more than occasionally, press the -10db pad
button in and turn the Input Volume knob up. If it
is still lighting often, try turning the volume down
on your bass.
