Tech 21 Bass Power Engine 60 Owner's Manual page 5

NOTEWORTHY NOTES & CONSIDERATIONS
1) Powering Up and Powering Down. To avoid the typical loud pop and
potential harm to the Bass Power Engine speaker, power up in this order:
For Mono Applications:
For Stereo Applications:
With PA System: Be sure to keep the PA volume fader down until all
connections are made and everything is turned on. Before shutting anything
off, remember to turn the PA volume fader down.
2) Hum. If nothing is plugged into the input of the Bass Power Engine, you may
notice a slight hum caused by the open input transformer. When you plug something
into the input, the circuit will be completed and the hum will disappear.
3) EQ. We recommend starting with all controls flat. Then use each sparingly as
needed for whatever room you're in. Remember, you need not set everything at max
to obtain maximum results. It would be rare that turning all the tone controls up would
accomplish a favorable sound. In most instances, a slight cut of the Mid control
should be adequate.
4) Volume. When chaining the Bass Power Engine with an amp, be sure to set the
Level control to match (approx.) the output volume of the amp. If the Bass Power Engine
is set higher than the amp, it may cause undesirable distortion. Note: Rely on your ears.
The position of the level knobs of the amp and Bass Power Engine may not necessarily
be the same.
5) Enjoy!
