The front panel contains all items necessary for system
operation and observation. Please read this section of the
manual carefully to make sure you understand all the
operational features of your new FENDER BXR 25
amplifier.
A. Input 1: High gain
B. Input 2: Low gain
The high gain input (INPUT 1 ) should be used for most
instruments. This input can handle as much as 3.5 volts
R.M.S., while the low gain input (INPUT 2) accepts 7 volts
R.M.S. without audible distortion. For both cases, this is
greater than any active bass with a 9 volt battery can
produce. If you are using a bass with dual 9 volt batteries
or a "hot" passive bass, it might be wise to try INPUT 2.
For the rare case where two players want to use one
amplifier or where two instruments are to be used during
the performance, both inputs may be used.
C. VOLUME: This control sets the gain of the preamp and
serves as an adjustment for the "loudness" of the amplifier.
D. LOW: adjusts the low frequency part of the spectrum, the
area where the "deep" fundamentals reside.
E. MID: adjusts the mid frequency part of the spectrum.
Turning the mid down will cause the sound to become
"TIGHT" or more "PUNCHY."
F. HIGH: adjusts the high frequency part of the spectrum.
Turning the HIGH up will cause the sound to become
"BRIGHT" or more "CRISP".
REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION
INPUT POWER: This tells you how much AC power (75 Watts)
the amplifier can "draw" from the wall socket when the
amplifier is at full power. The marking directly below tells you
what the the wall socket Voltage and Frequency must be.
Incorrect line voltage will damage your amplifier and VOID
THE WARRANTY.
G. TAPE INPUTS: Plug-in connection for any line level
(500mV) stereo or mono signal. This signal is mixed into
the power amp along with the instrument signal from the
preamp. It has fixed gain and is unaffected by any of the
front panel controls; however, the signal will be affected
by any device inserted between the preamp output and
the power amp input. It is useful for patching in a CD, tape
player, rhythm machine or other signal source to be used
as accompaniment for practice or performance. The
output level control of the external signal source is used to
control its own volume while the front panel volume control
is used for the instrument in order to obtain a balance.
H. PREAMP OUT: This jack provides an unbalanced output
signal from the preamp. This output can be used in
conjunction with the POWER AMP IN as a patch point for
external mono effects devices.
I. POWER AMP IN: This unbalanced jack inputs signal
directly to the power amp section. It automatically
disconnects the preamp circuitry when used. This is useful
when using the patch point option or when using the BXR
25 as a slave amplifier for an external signal source.
J. HEADPHONES: This jack provides an output to standard
stereo or mono headphones for private listening. NOTE:
Use of this jack automatically disables the main speaker.
CAUTION: Prolonged listening at high levels may be
hazardous to your hearing!
K. POWER INDICATOR: When this LED is illuminated, the BXR
25 is receiving power.
L. POWER: Turns the BXR 25 on or off.
LINE CORD: The line cord should be connected to a suitable
power source, with the correct voltage and frequency, as
shown in the INPUT POWER at the amplifier rear. If you are
not sure, check some other piece of equipment in your area.
DO NOT ALTER THE AC PLUG.
