Since your
REBEl
contains a power amp, please leave enough space around the unit for cooling purposes. Don’t place your
portable PA unit close to high-temperature devices such as radiators or exposed to direct sunlight.
REBEl
is connected to
the mains via the supplied cable, even for built-in battery recharge. First connect the mains cable to the unit, then connect
the cable plug to the mains, finally turn on your
REBEl
.
Please note that all units of your sound system must be properly grounded. For your own safety, you should never remove
any ground connector/device from electrical devices or power cables, or make them inactive. Please ensure that only
qualified people install and operate the portable PA unit.

All
REBEl
level knobs should be at minimum, at “0”. If a LEVEL is raised please move it to “0” position, preventing in
this way any noise which could damage your REBEL speakers. Set EQ knobs at center-detent position. With your MASTER
LEVEL at “0”, start making connections.
Using an XLR balanced cable, connect your microphone and using unbalanced 6.35mm (¼”) TS cable connect your guitar,
or any other electric instrument.
Plug your SD card and/or your USB player to digital ports.
Now you can turn on your
REBEl
and raise MASTER level knob to 12 o’clock position. In order to achieve the best signal-
to-noise ratio for all inputs, we suggest you the following procedure: set the VOLUME knob at 12 o’clock position, then
raise the GAIN knob until when louder signals drive PEAK LED to flash.
Now you can begin to set each input VOL (volume) knobs to obtain the needed balance of all inputs. If a channel signal
is too hot, turn the VOL knob counter-clockwise; if the signal is too weak, turn the knob clockwise. USB port and SD card
use the MP3 VOL level control, and Digital Effects section has EFF overall EFF VOL control.
A very important feature is the built-in rechargeable battery, allowing you to use your
REBEl
in any application and/or
mobile installation.

We strongly suggest you to avoid exposition to loud music for prolonged periods, you risk to seriously damage your hearing.
In order to avoid overload, please carefully check each channel PEAK LED; hearing even a small saturation, please turn
counter-clockwise the MASTER knob, or the VOL knob of the distorting channel.
Avoid to use extreme EQ settings, which could overload that channel as well its EFF send to Digital Effects section and
even the MASTER section. We suggest you to use the EQ to emphasize sound nuances and details, even cutting EQ on
other channels!
In order to avoid internal Digital Effects section overload, please carefully check each channel EFF knob.
In order to prevent speakers switch-on thump, please turn the MASTER LEVEL knob to “0” after every session, and check
the MASTER LEVEL knob “0” position before any new session.
Check the BATTERY LEVEL 5 LEDs, in this way you’ll be warned when built-in battery level is LOW or if the unit battery is
“in CHARGE”.
