Mains Input Connector

Your AVT50 is provided with a detachable
mains (power) lead which is connected here.
The specific mains input voltage rating that
your amplifier has been built for is shown on
the back panel. Before connecting for the first
time, please ensure that your electricity supply
is compatible with your amplifier. If you have
any doubt, please get advice from a qualified
person. Your Marshall dealer will help in this
respect.

Loudspeaker Jack Socket

i. Combo Version (AVT50)
This socket allows you to connect your
AVT50 into an external loudspeaker system,
provided it has an impedance of 8 or 16 ohms.
By using any one of our comprehensive range
of extension cabinets, you will be able to
unleash the massive amount of tonal options
that extra loudspeakers will provide.
ii. Head Version (AVT50H)
This is where you connect your AVT50
Head to external loudspeaker cabinets in order
to deliver the extraordinary power that only a
Marshall head can provide.
The AVT50H is specifically voiced to run
into the AVT412A / AVT412B 4x12" compact
cabinet combination. Having said this the
AVT50H is equally at home driving any one of
our other loudspeaker options, such as the
legendary 1960A/B 4x12" full size cabinets for
example.
!
WARNING:
Always provide the AVT50H with a load
equal to, or greater than, 4 Ohms. Using the
two loudspeaker outputs, with cabinets rated at
8 Ohms each, the full 50W of the specially
designed AVT power amplifier will be
unleashed.

Emulated DI Out Jack Socket

This jack socket carries a specially treated
output signal from your AVT50 which
accurately emulates the sonic signature of a
guitar loudspeaker. This output can be used in
both live performance and recording situations
to achieve authentic guitar amp tones without
having to use a microphone. Furthermore, if
you wish to mute the loudspeaker, for 'silent'
recording, then merely insert an unused jack
plug (a short patch cable will do fine) or a set of
headphones into the Headphone socket.

FX Return Jack Socket

Use a high quality shielded lead to
connect the output of your effects unit to the
effects return jack of the AVT50H.
5 FX Send Jack Socket.
The AVT50 is fully equipped with a Series
effects loop in order to allow you to connect
external effects units to the amplifier. As
always, we recommend you use high quality
leads to ensure you lose none of the tone of
the AVT50's direct signal. Connect this output
to the input of your effects unit. Adjust the
input gain of your effects unit so as not to
overdrive its circuitry. Set the effects unit
output level to achieve the same 'effected
volume' as in bypass.
6 Footswitch Input Jack Socket
Supplied with your new AVT50 is a
Marshall Channel select footswitch (PEDL-
00001). This plugs into the Footswitch Input
Jack Socket.
