prolonged periods. Please

hearing protection. 

•  Never plug amplifi er speaker-level outputs into 

anything except speakers. 

•  Never use guitar cables to connect amplifi ers to 

speakers.

•  Before making connections to an external 

amplifi er, or reconfi guring an amp’s routing, turn 

the amp’s level (gain) controls down, turn the 

power off, make the changes, turn the power 

back on, and then turn the level controls back up.

•  When you shut down your equipment, turn off any 

external amplifi ers fi rst. When powering up, turn on 

the amplifi ers last.

•  Save the shipping box and packing material! The 

box can also be turned into a unique hat, lunch 

box, or handbag to accessorize your mixer.
