Dear bass player! You have one of the smallest and the most
effective amplifiers as well from the sign of Taurus. We hope that
this gear will come up to your expectations.
Taurus Qube − 300 bass head is the smallest and the lightest bass
amplifier in Taurus's amps line. The compact size of the head was
attained by applying the newest, most advanced technology.The
SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) power supply and Class D
power amplifier in conjuction with classic analog pre−amp provide
great efficency, power, dynamic and sound selectivity . As all
Taurus amps, the Qube − 300 is very easy to operate.The MLO
system equalization control in which the Qube is equipped with,
achieves easy and intuitive tailored sound using only bass and
treble potentiometers.This sound correction simplifies finding the
right tone colour of an instrument.

The “MLO” (Mid Level Optimization) is Taurus proprietary system allowing
for an easy, intuitive and extremely comfortable optimization of the overall
sound of the bass guitar.
The MLO System provides all new possibilities. It ensures most accurate
proportion of medium frequencies in accordance of your manual settings
of bass and trebles. This very intuitive and logical system supports
musician's choice for most desirable sound.
In addition, the MLO equalizer ensures virtually no change in overall volume
while changing the bass frequencies. Unlike most of the standard amps,
adjusting bass frequency the musician notices change of the sound not the
volume.

Connect a cabinet of the proper power and impedance to the amplifier, see
page 5 in the operation manual.
It's recommended to connect 4 ohm cabinets with Speakon−Speakon
cable. This link warrants better connection quality and reliability then
Jack−Jack cable.
Connect your bass guitar to one of the inputs Active or Passive depending
on your instrument, then turn the power on.
Turn on the Volume in optimal position, then you can start playing if your
gain level is too small, set the gain knob to desired level. Don't let the
preamp to be distorted by setting to big gain level.
Next step will be creating your sound colour using controllers and
switches available on the front panel.
Set every front panel controllers and switches on following positions:
− GAIN, BASS, MIDDLE, TREBLE controllers in middle position,
− Tone switches in middle position.
