CONNECTING AND USING AC POWER
• Connect the StageMate™ to a standard AC power outlet.
• Use only a grounded (3 prong) power outlet to prevent a shock hazard. This also gives
the quietest grounding.
OPERATING IN BATTERY MODE
• The StageMate™ charges its battery using AC power. If the Battery Status LED indicates
a low or dead battery, plug the StageMate™ into AC power and turn the power switch
"ON". Usual charging time is approximately 8 hours (with dual batteries 16 hours).
CONNECTING INPUTS TO YOUR STAGEMATE™
• Channel 1 is designed for acoustic and electric guitars using a 1/4" phone shielded cable.
• Channels 2 through 4 are microphone & instrument inputs. Plug a microphone into the
balanced XLR MIC input using an XLR shielded microphone cable and a 1/4" shielded
cable from your instruments. Both can be used at the same time.
TURNING ON YOUR STAGEMATE™
• Adjust all channel level controls to their off position (full counter clockwise).
• Adjust all "EQ" tone controls to their center detent position.
• Adjust all channel EFF controls to their off position.
• Turn the StageMate™ on by the power switch and watch for the power LED to come on.
• Plug in your instruments and microphones into the appropriate channels, and adjust the
level controls to the desired playing volumes. (For detail on the individual channel tone
controls and battery charging, see the appropriate sections in this manual.)
