HINTS & TIPS
Unpacking
Inspect the product during unpacking, if any damage is found, notify the dealer you purchased it from immediately.
Be sure to save the carton and all packaging materials. Should you ever need to return the unit back to the dealer
or HH Electronics, use only the original factory packing.un all cables neatly, use cable ties to tidy excess cable length
in 'figure-8' not loops.
Basic Setup
HH Vector cabs can be mounted on the floor, or a suitable pole or tripod. Don't over-extend poles/tripods; ensure
at least 4 x the pole diameter is still inside the outer pole. Make sure the legs have a good splay on tripods, but do
not obstruct doorways or other access-ways.
If a pole mount is used, make sure that the thumb screw on the cabinet is tight.
Switching Off
After using the amplifier, please adjust the gain controls to their lowest settings, then the amplifier can be turned off
safely. Turn the power switch to the OFF position and remove the power cord from the electrical source.
NOTE:
Do not connect or disconnect from the input signal source when the amplifier is turned ON, damage could occur
to the amplifier and the speaker.
If the amplifier is in standby mode without use for over 3 hours, remove the power cord from the electrical source.
QUICK TIPS
Ÿ Use electronic safety devices such as circuit breakers.
Ÿ Start with EQ settings flat and gains low.
Ÿ
Master volumes should be at zero for switch on and off.
Ÿ Use the minimum cut or boost in EQ. If all bands are boosted or cut, flatten EQ, re-adjust gain and start again.
Ÿ Use input gain to set maximum signal level without distortion (use VU meters, bar graphs or peak lights). Amps
should have peak or clip lights illuminating only on signal peaks, not all the time.
Ÿ
Set up mic levels first, and adjust other equipment to match.
Ÿ Avoid very high onstage levels from backline amps.
Ÿ When using separate power amps, turn the level of the amp to maximum. Control overall level from your mixer,
not the power amp.
Ÿ Avoid damp environments and extremes of temperature for storage and use of all audio equipment.
Ÿ Look after your cables. Do not stand equipment on, or run cases over them, do not tie knots in them and
always use them for the correct application (a signal lead is NOT a speaker lead). Coil and secure with cable
ties before storing.
Ÿ Ensure your equipment is properly loaded and cannot move around during transit.
Ÿ
Keep lights away from speakers; heat can cause fires/speaker damage.
Ÿ
Don't run cables across access-ways; if you have to, run them above doors or use approved cable covers.
Ÿ Be aware of total power usage. Overloading a mains socket is potentially dangerous, and likely to cause a power
out during use.
Ÿ
Keep lighting cables away from ALL sound cables including mains, use separate circuit for lights if possible.
Ÿ Keep power and signal cables apart.
