ON, you get the full level of the compression driver and the sound is full range with nice treble response. This voicing is great for bass soloists, for funk, R&B or for whatever style requires some serious, sweet top end.
The LH Series EQ controls allow you to alter a sound by boosting or attenuating specific frequency areas— they operate much like the bass and treble controls on your hi-fi amp, but with a more musical response that's ideal for bass.
About Equalization The specific EQ you will apply to your bass signal is very much dependent upon your particular instrument and personal taste and playing style. However, here are a few general suggestions: • For that super-deep reggae or Motown sound, boost the Bass EQ slightly while attenuating the MID and Treble EQ.
Using the Direct Output The LH5210 and LH5410 both feature a front panel DIRECT OUTPUT connector used for interfacing to external recording and PA gear. This standard, balanced XLR connector provides a pre-EQ and pre-VOLUME output signal from the LH Series amplifier. You’ll usually use this to connect the LH Series signal to a Mic-level input when interfacing with PA systems or recording mixing consoles.
Cleaning the Fan Filters Cleaning the Fan Filters From time to time, it may become necessary to clean the fan filter. It’s a good idea to keep the fan filter clean to ensure maximum airflow, and cooling, through your LH Series amplifier. To clean the fan filters, follow these simple steps: 1/ Remove the fan filter by placing your finger in the depressed area under the fan filter frame and pulling it up and out.
