    Master Aux Level Volume Set the overall level of the Loudbox Pro with the Master Volume. In general put the Mute Master Volume as high as possible (3 o’clock to 5 o’clock) to achieve a clean quiet signal. Because the system can easily produce sound pressure levels in excess of 122dB, we strongly suggest that you wear hearing protection when you play at higher volumes.

Guidelines for selecting the kickstand angle: 40 Degrees The first click-stop tilts the Loudbox Pro back 40 degrees. Use this when you will be standing more than five feet (1.5 meters) from the amplifier. 50 Degrees The second click-stop on the kickstand angles the cabinet back 50 degrees, which is useful when you stand about three to five feet (1 to 1.5 meters) from the Loudbox Pro.
