SHOWBOX BATTERY POWERED ALL-IN-ONE PERFORMANCE RIG WITH BREAKAWAY MIX CONTROL
1/4" Stereo Line Input Jacks [Channel 5-6]
The volume of the 1/4" signal may be raised/lowered via the Channel 5-6 volume knob.
While it may look like Channels 5-6 includes the stereo 1/4" input jacks, the 1/8" aux input, and the Bluetooth
connection, all three may be used simultaneously!
This input will not have access to the internal FX engine, FX loop, or compressor – and these parameters
will not illuminate on the breakaway mixer. However, it will still have its own 3-band EQ.
NEVER connect the output of an amplifier directly to a ShowBox's input jack.
This could damage the input circuitry and we wouldn't want that now, would we?

Bluetooth Button and LED

This button will engage the channel's pairing mode, allowing the ShowBox to be seen by other Bluetooth devices
such as a phone or tablet.
Pairing and Connecting – Press and hold the Bluetooth button to select it. The button will flash blue when selected.
This is to indicate that the ShowBox and device are in pairing mode.
While the ShowBox is in pairing mode, simultaneously scan for Bluetooth devices on the phone or tablet. You should
see ShowBox appear in the "available devices" list. Select it. From there, the device should indicate that it is successfully
connected. Additionally, the LED button on the ShowBox will be solid blue instead of flashing. If nothing is connected
to ShowBox via Bluetooth – or if the ShowBox and device are out of range – then the LED will not illuminate.
The volume of the Bluetooth signal may be raised/lowered via the Channel 5-6 volume knob.
While it may look like Channels 5-6 includes the stereo 1/4" input jacks, the 1/8" aux input, and the Bluetooth
connection, all three may be used simultaneously!
A previously paired device will auto reconnect if both the device and ShowBox are powered on and in range.
The Bluetooth may disconnect when affected by Electrostatic Discharge [ESD].
Manually reconnect the Bluetooth connection.
This dual stereo line input is designed for 1/4" TRS balanced cables. While these inputs
were designed as an additional line-level instrument – synthesizer, drum machine, etc. – it may
accept a CD/media player, effects device, or any other line-level instrument, as well.
If connecting a mono source, use the left (mono) input, and the mono signals will appear
on both sides of the main mix.
To connect balanced lines to these inputs, use a 1/4" Tip-Ring-Sleeve (TRS) plug.
The wiring diagram was presented on the previous page.
