INTRODUCTION

 

 

Thank you for purchasing the 

ADA MlCROCAB II 

Miked Guitar Cabinet Emulator. The 

MlCROCAB II 

is designed to deliver the distinct warmth and presence of a "close-miked" 

guitar speaker cabinet to a mixing console for direct recording or for sound reinforcement. 
The 

MlCROCAB II 

takes the signal from the output of a guitar preamp or poweramp. Your 

new 

MlCROCAB II 

will preserve all the tone and fidelity from your guitar, preamp, and effects 

units, while delivering the frequency response of various speaker cabinets, simulating difficult 
and time-consuming miking techniques used in recording studios. 
Please take a few moments to read this manual and familiarize yourself with your new 

MlCROCAB II.

 

 
IMPORTANT:   

At this time, please complete and return the enclosed warranty card.
