PACKING INFORMATION

UNPACKING
After you unpack your Acoustic Performer Pro amplifier,
check it for any damage. We tested and inspected your amp
before we packed and shipped it, but in the unlikely event
that something was damaged before it reached you, contact
your dealer to remedy the situation. Do not use your amp if it
appears damaged.
PACKING MATERIALS
Save the original packing materials and the box that your
Acoustic Performer Pro came in. Should you ever need to
ship it, the box and its inserts will protect it.

CAUTION!
P E R F O R M E R
although we recommend that you do read it in order to get
the most out of your Acoustic Performer Pro. Here's what you
need to do if you want to "plug in and play."
1) Plug the AC cord into the Acoustic Performer Pro.
2) Make sure that the voltage selector switch, next to the
AC receptacle, is set to the correct voltage for your area.
3) Plug the other end of the AC cord into an electrical outlet
with the appropriate AC voltage.
4) Insert the plug from an acoustic instrument's pickup (or
1/4" plug from a shielded cord) into the Pickup In jack on
the Acoustic Performer Pro's rear panel.
5) Make sure Channel 1's Level 1 knob, Channel 2's Level 2
knob, and the Master section's Level knob are turned all
the way down (fully counterclockwise).
6) Turn the amp on; the switch is in the lower portion of
the Acoustic Performer Pro's back, next to the AC
receptacle.
7) Turn up the Master section's Level to about the 12:00
position.
8) Slowly turn up the Level 2 knob and strum or pluck the
strings on your instrument (if the instrument has a volume
control, make sure it's turned up).
NOTE: If your instrument is plugged into the Inst. Mic In
jack, then turn up Level 1 instead of Level 2.
9) Adjust the Level controls and Bass, Mid, and Treble EQ
controls to suit your taste.
That's the basic setup. It's only the tip of the iceberg for this
extremely versatile amplifier / sound reinforcement system,
and you should read through the rest of the manual to find
out how you can get the maximum sonic benefits from your
Acoustic Performer Pro.
