MAINS IN –  

 

Power switch & Power input

The switched-mode power supply of this device ac-
cepts voltages from 100V to 240V. The ground pin of 
the power supply unit must always be connected in 
order to avoid voltage differences between e.g. the PA 
and your bass combo.

Protection mode

This product is equipped with an advanced protection 
system for both the amplifier’s and your own safety. 
These protection features should only kick in if you op-
erate this product under extreme conditions.

Be sure not to cover the cooling grid of your bass 

combo!

 Insufficient ventilation may cause the ampli-

fier’s temperature to increase to critical values.

Your bass combo is equipped with an intelligent pro-
tection system, ensuring that the amp does not suffer 
or malfunction if operated wrongly or in extreme envi-
ronments. When the amplifier switches to Protection 
mode, the speaker output is muted, and the TUNER 
LEDs start flashing in pairs of two.

Protection mode is invoked…

■  if a short circuit occurs (on speaker outputs).
