SP 13

STICK PREAMP

QUICK START

The SP 13 accommodates the signals from two pickups from a Stick® instrument, where the pickups are wired to the

tip and ring of a standard stereo ¼" TRS (Tip, Ring, Sleeve) plug. You do not need internal preamps when using the SP 13.
1. Slide the Input Wiring switch to the correct position agreeing with your pickup wiring situation.
2. Turn the 

MAIN OUT LEVEL

 controls down.

3. Connect the SP 13 to your amplifier using the ¼" 

MAIN OUTPUTS

 or use the 

HEADPHONE

 jack.

4. Initially, turn the 

A

 and 

B INSTRUMENT GAIN TRIM

 controls half way up.

6. Move each 

LOW CUT

 slider to the top (15 Hz); center all EQ sliders; center the 

PAN

 sliders; leave the 

INVERT

pushbuttons out; and position the 

LEVEL

 sliders to “4”

7. Plug in the instrument to the 

INPUT

 jack on the front of the SP 13 with a stereo ¼" TRS cable.

8. Power up the SP 13, then turn on your amplifier.
9. Play your instrument and slowly turn up the 

MAIN OUT LEVEL

 controls. You should hear sound from your speakers.

If not, recheck all settings and wiring, and read the next few pages.

Never connnect anything except an approved Rane power supply to the red thing that looks like a telephone jack on the

rear of the unit. 

This is an AC input and requires special attention if you do not have a power supply 

exactly

 like the one

originally packed with your unit. See the full explanation of the power supply requirements elsewhere in this manual.
