Getting Started - Fishman LOUDBOX 100 User Manual

Getting Started

Here are some basic setup tips to help get you going. To operate the
Loudbox 100 safely, please read the entire manual, especially the Important
Safety Instructions on page 3.
If your amplifi er has an operating voltage of 120V, plug the provided AC line
cord into the back of the amplifi er.
If your amplifi er operates at 230V, you must supply your own detachable power
cord. The cord you supply must have an IEC-style 320 connector at one end and
a male AC plug appropriate for your area at the other.
1. Locate the Power switch (above the rear panel power cord terminal) and switch
it off (down position), then connect the power cord.
2. Plug the Loudbox 100 into an electrical outlet with the appropriate AC voltage.
NOTE: Operate the amplifi er only at the voltage indicated in
the check box on the rear panel. Do not defeat the ground
prong on the AC cable; the safe operation of this amplifi er
depends on a proper ground connection.
3. Push in the Mute switch and turn on the Power switch.
4. Connect your instrument to the Channel 1 input with a shielded ¼" cable.
5. Play aggressively and raise Channel 1 Gain until Clip LED fl ashes, then back
off the Gain until no clipping occurs.
6. Set the controls as illustrated below.
7. Push the Mute switch (out) and slowly raise the Master Volume to the
desired level.
