Rear Panel Features
AC Power
For 120V amplifiers purchased in the USA and Canada, plug in the supplied
detachable AC power cable.
For 240V amplifiers purchased outside the USA and Canada, you must supply
your own detachable AC cable. This cable must have an IEC style 320 connector
at one end, and a male AC plug appropriate for your area at the other.
Fuse Holder
The fuse is located within the AC power receptacle on the back of the amp.
Access the fuse compartment with a small slotted screwdriver.
For 120V amplifiers purchased in the USA and Canada, replace the fuse with:
Littelfuse type 21802.5 or equivalent 5 x 20mm, 2.5A, 250V, time delay fuse
For 240V amplifiers purchased outside the USA and Canada, replace the fuse
with:
Littelfuse model 2181.25 or equivalent; 5 x 20mm, 1.25A, 250V, time
delay fuse.
Effects Loop
(Serial)
Patch an external effect (delay, reverb, chorus) through these jacks. Use a
standard 1/4” instrument cable to connect the send on the Loudbox to the input
of the effect. Connect the return jack on the Loudbox to the output of the effect.
The effects loop is located “post-EQ”. The effects loop is compatible with battery
operated “stompbox” style effects processors.
You may also connect the send jack on the Loudbox to an external tuner or to
an additional stage amp.
XLR Output
Use this balanced output to route your instrument’s signal to a mixing console,
PA, etc.
This output is “post-fader” and “post-EQ”, which means that all the front panel
controls (excluding the phase switch) will affect the signal that gets to the XLR
output.
Kickstand
To hear yourself better onstage, use the kickstand to angle the
Loudbox back like a wedge style floor monitor. The kickstand
has three click-stops that enable you to tilt the cabinet back
to a 45, 57 or 70 degree angle. Squeeze the buttons on
the side of the kickstand to unlock the pivot mechanism,
then select the angle that you prefer. Gently tilt the
Loudbox back onto the kickstand. The closer you stand to
the amp, the more angle you’ll need to get the Loudbox
pointed at ear level.
INTRODUCTION
The 250-watt, single-channel Loudbox, features an 8” woofer,
4” polypropylene mid driver and two 1” soft-dome
neodymium tweeters. These speaker components have been
painstakingly designed for high power handling and a smooth,
flat acoustic response. Each component is housed in its own
sealed enclosure and tuned precisely for
acoustic stringed instruments. The
innovative Loudbox enclosure leans back
10 degrees for better dispersion of highs
and tighter lows. When you need even
more angle, an integrated “t-bar” kick
stand allows you to tilt the amp back as
much as 70 degrees, converting the
Loudbox into an effective near-field floor
monitor.
Our decision to go with a tri-amped,
three-way speaker system was driven
entirely by our quest for amplified clarity
and sheer volume. To achieve the sound
quality and power we were looking for, a
two-way system just couldn’t cut it; we’d
sacrifice the system’s response or we
would over-burden the drivers. Once we
added the midrange driver to the
equation, all these problems evaporated.
Taking a cue from commercial sound reinforcement systems,
the three power amplifiers that drive the Loudbox deliver
cleaner, less distorted sound through the speakers than any
acoustic amplifier in its class. The high efficiency paper cone
woofer pumps out the bass, the polypropylene midrange
driver handles the crucial midrange frequencies and two soft-
dome neodymium tweeters top off the treble.
The tweeters in the Loudbox are identical to those used in the
best studio mastering monitors; they produce a smooth,
sweet treble that is perfect for acoustic instruments. With two
of these tweeters, you get great dispersion and high SPLs,
without the unpleasant “honk” of a high frequency
compression driver found in many so called “acoustic” amps.
The single-channel Loudbox features an ultra-high impedance
input with an EQ section that includes bass, treble, midrange
and brilliance controls. Like a high-performance sports car, we
decided to keep the layout simple and straightforward. The
Loudbox has a greater than 116dB SPL rating, so the big
thrills with this amp come when you step on the gas and feel
the surge of power. Fighting acoustic feedback is
straightforward with the Loudbox’s notch filter and phase
switch. A sweet-sounding spring reverb, mute switch, effects
loop, and an XLR output round out the features.
