Master Controls
20. 3-Band Equalizer
The RoadGear’s built in 3-band provides perfect control over the high,
low and middle frequencies of your audio. Changing the level of high
frequencies included in your audio will enhance the treble sounds, such as
guitars, as well as enhancing the crispness of vocals. Changing the level of
low frequencies in your audio will enhance bass sounds, including drums
and bass guitars, and add to the overall warmth of the sound. Changing
the middle frequencies can be difficult, but cutting them to the right degree
can help to calm overly-harsh vocal and instrumental sounds.
21. Master Level Controls
This control is used to adjust the final volume level of the MAIN LEFT/RIGHT or MAIN/MONITOR audio
to be sent to the power amplifier and respective outputs, according to the mode selector settings.
22. Limiter Indicators
There are 2 limiters built-in to the stereo power amplifier featured in the RoadGear 160 and 260. The
limiters are activated, and the indicator will illuminate, when the signal level becomes too high to warn
the user of the possibility of overloading. If this happens too often, ensure you to turn down the Master
Level Control down to a reasonable level. When using a 4 ohm load (ie. when both of the RoadGear
speakers are used on the same amp channel), please ensure the Limiter LEDs do not illuminate, as to
avoid overload.
23. Mode Selector
This is used to alternate the use of the power amplifier outputs, depending on your setting. If stage
monitors are used in your set of speakers, then the switch should be set on the main/mon setting, which
will allow you to plug your left and right main speakers into the main power amplifier outputs, as well as
a set of stage monitors for performers to listen to their audio. When set on left/right, both sets of power
amplifier outputs can be used to output the left and right audio signals to up to four speakers.
