  • Page 6: Overview

    At its most basic form, the 4-Play is a 1-in, 4-out direct box that lets you route the connected instrument to any of four different channels on the PA and in your monitors. This allows each instrument to have its own dedicated channel with in- dividual level, EQ and effects.
  • Page 7: Making Connections

    Connections from instruments to the 4-Play in- put is done using standard ¼” coaxial cables. The outputs from the 4-play to the PA system are typical XLR connections wired to AES stan- dard pin-1 (ground), pin-2 (+) and pin-3 (-).
  • Page 8: Using

    USInG There is no power switch on the 4-Play. As soon as you connect the PSU it will spring to life and OUT- 1 will be activated. The OUT-1 LED will illuminate to confirm the active output. Note: There are two ‘set & forget’ switches on the two front corners. These are used to enable selec- tion of outputs 3 and 4 respectively.
  • Page 9: Ground Lift

    FEATURES lifting the ground The 4-Play is equipped with ground lift switches on each of the four out- puts. Set all of the ground lift switches in the down or grounded position. As you rotate through the outputs, if you notice any noise, try lifting the ground as this can often help remove buzz and hum caused by ground loops.
