THE INS AND OUTS
1/4” INPUT (*
FOR INSTRUMENTS ONLY
*)
Accepts 1/4” output of your pre-amp/processor or amplifier. This specialized input
features an isolation transformer to eliminate ground loops when using the Power
Engine 60 in conjunction with an amplifier. Be aware that this transformer loads down
passive guitar inputs. If you would like to plug your guitar directly into the Power Engine
60, either use an active guitar or any buffered type of effect pedal (Boss®, Ibanez®,
Tech 21, etc.) in bypass mode in order to drive the low input impedance of the amplifier.
*NOTE: DO NOT PLUG THE SPEAKER OUTPUT OF AN AMP INTO THIS
INPUT.
Doing so may result in severe damage to the unit or your amp or both.
XLR IN
Balanced XLR input accepts XLR output of your pre-amp/processor or amplifier. This
specialized input is also linked to the isolation transformer to eliminate ground loops
when using the Power Engine 60 in conjunction with an amplifier or chaining with addi-
tional Power Engine 60s.
NOTE:
We advise against using both inputs at the same time as it may cause you to
experience signal degradation.
XLR OUT
Balanced low impedance XLR parallel output is connected directly to the input, so
that the signal bypasses the tone controls. For live gigs, you can use this output
directly into the P.A. system so you won’t need to mic the Power Engine 60.
GROUND LIFT
Connects or disconnects the ground between the XLR output of the Power Engine 60
and the mixer. We recommend starting with the ground lifted. If necessary, connect
the ground by pushing the button in.

TONE SECTION
The Power Engine 60 includes convenient, on-board, 3-band
active
EQ controls,
which cut and boost, rather than traditional passive controls which only cut. This
gives you greater control and adjustability to compensate for virtually any situation.
NOTE: These tone controls only affect the power amp and speaker, not the XLR out-
put. The signal going into the 1/4” input or XLR input passes straight through. So you
can tailor your stage sound to the room without affecting the sound out of the P.A.
Additionally, be aware that you need not set everything at max to obtain maximum
results. (See “Noteworthy Notes” #2: EQ.)
LOW, MID, HIGH
Boost or cut ±12dB from the center point (12 o’clock).
ODDS AND ENDS
LEVEL
Adjusts the volume level of the Power Engine 60. Be sure to set the Level control to
match (approx.) the output volume of the unit/amp into which it is plugged. The
unit/amp’s level then becomes the “master volume” control. (See additional info
under “Noteworthy Notes” #3: Volume.)
FUSE
Replace with similar type and same value:
100-117V units use F 3A L • 230-240V units use F 1.6A L.
IMPORTANT REMINDER:
Fuse holder located inside A/C cord receptacle.
You
must disconnect and remove power cord to change fuse.
