 Amplifier connection:

 In order to avoid damage, it is advisable to establish and follow a pattern for turning on and off your 

equipment. With all system parts connected, turn on source equipment, tape decks, cd players, mixers, effects processors etc. 
BEFORE turning on your Bass Amplifier.  Many products have large transient surges at turn on and off which can cause damage to 
your speakers. By turning on your Bass Amplifier LAST and making sure its Volume control is set to minimum any transients from 
other equipment will not reach your loudspeakers. Wait until all system parts have stabilised; usually a couple of seconds.  Similarly 
when turning off your system always turn down the Volume control on your Bass Amplifier and then turn off its power before 
turning off other equipment. 

Cables: 

Always use good quality shielded cable for your instrument and small signal connections.  Never use shielded or 

microphone cable for any speaker connections as this will not be substantial enough to handle the amplifier load and could cause 
damage to your amplifier system.

Caution:

 These professional loudspeaker systems are capable of generating very high sound pressure levels. Use care with 

placement and operation to avoid exposure to excessive levels that can cause permanent hearing damage. (Refer to guidelines on 
page 2)
