Bi-Amp And Normal Operation - Gallien-Krueger 1001RB-II Owner's Manual

Bi-Amp and Normal Operation

The 1001RB-II/700RB-II's unique design allows for
easy setup into Bi-Amp or Normal configurations.
The operational mode is configured by how you
connect your speaker cabinets. In addition, you have
the option of driving one cabinet in Bi-Amp and one
with Normal operation.

Operation:
The Bi-Amp feature of the 1001RB-II/700RB-II series
is automatically engaged when you connect an RBH
series cabinet (with switch on the cabinet set to Bi-
Amp) to the 1001RB-II/700RB-II with the supplied 4
conductor Speakon cable. This setup gives the
1001RB-II/700RB-II complete control of the tweeter
and woofer signals sent to your rig. Now you can
push the woofers to the max., while the tweeter
remains clean, crisp, and free of clipping distortion.
In addition, a smooth tight tone is easily dialed in by
adjusting the Tweeter and Woofer Master controls on
the 1001RB-II/700RB-II front panel. Note: In the Bi-
Amp configuration the 50W tweeter amp is always
operating from 5kHz and up (high frequencies only).
It will drive horns only and not cabinets.

Operation:
The 1001RB-II/700RB-II series amplifier is config-
ured for normal operation when you are connect-
ing to any cabinet with a 2 conductor Speakon style
cable, 1/4" to 1/4" speaker cable or 1/4" to banana
plug speaker cable. In this setup, the speaker
cabinet is driven by the Woofer/Main amp and the
50W/Tweeter amplifier is not used. If you are using
RBH series cabinets, the volume of the tweeter
(relative to the woofer's volume) can be adjusted
using the Horn Level control of the cabinet's
internal crossover.
