Unfortunately for bass players, low frequencies are always very difficult to
control with room acoustics. The reproduced wavelengths of the notes you are
playing often correspond to the room dimensions, in which case the reflected
sound off the walls interferes with the sound from the speaker as you get further
away from it.
Setting Up the Limiter
Although a limiter is not essential to bass amplification, it can be a useful tool in
smoothing out the character of your instrument or playing style. The BASS CUB
limiter has a preset compression ratio of 3 to 1. For each additional increase of
3dB above the set threshold, the increase in level is actually 1dB. So the dynamic
range of your instrument is reduced.
First set up the limiter by having the compression control (20) set fully clockwise.
Now switch on the limiter (8). Start playing and turn control (20) counter-
clockwise. You will see the blue light start to come on and that is the indication
that the limiter is now working. Set this control to suit your taste.
TRANSPORTING AND STORING THE BASS CUB
When transporting in a vehicle, it is recommended that you use an external case or
heavy-duty cover to prevent it being damaged by falling over or other objects
falling on it.
When Storing:
!
Keep in a dry location preferably at room temperature.
!
Do not store in temperatures below -20 Degrees C or above 40 Degrees C.
!
Do not allow it to get wet. If this occurs, never turn it on in this condition.
!
Do not leave the BASS CUB permanently connected to a power source.
