HINTS AND TIPS
UNPACKING
BASIC SETUP
If a pole mount is used, make sure that the thumb screw on the cabinet is tight.
SWITCHING OFF
Inspect the product during unpacking, if any damage is found, notify the dealer you
purchased it from immediately. Be sure to save the carton and all packaging materials.
Should you ever need to return the unit back to the dealer use only the original factory
packing. Pack all cables neatly, use cable ties to tidy excess cable length in 'figure-8' not
loops.
HH VRE cabs can be mounted on the floor, or a suitable pole or tripod. Don't
over-extend poles/tripods; ensure at least 4 x the pole diameter is still inside the
outer pole. Make sure the legs have a good splay on tripods, but do not obstruct
doorways or other access-ways.
After using the amplifier, please adjust the gain controls to their lowest settings,
then the amplifier can be turned off safely. Turn the power switch to the OFF
position and remove the power cord from the electrical source.
ŸStart with EQ settings flat and gains low.
ŸAvoid very high onstage levels from backline amps.
ŸKeep lights away from speakers; heat can cause fires/speaker damage.
ŸLook after your cables. Do not stand equipment on, or run cases over them,
do not tie knots in them and always use them for the correct application (a
signal lead is NOT a speaker lead). Coil and secure with cable ties before
storing.
NOTE:
ŸUse input gain to set maximum signal level without distortion.
ŸKeep power and signal cables apart.
ŸEnsure your equipment is properly loaded and cannot move around during
transit.
ŸBe aware of total power usage. Overloading a mains socket is potentially dangerous,
and likely to cause a power out during use.
ŸDon't run cables across access-ways; if you have to, run them above doors or use
approved cable covers.
ŸMaster volumes should be at zero for switch on and off.
ŸSet up mic levels first, and adjust other equipment to match.
Do not connect or disconnect from the input signal source when the amplifier is
turned ON, damage could occur to the amplifier and the speaker.
QUICK TIPS
ŸUse the minimum cut or boost in EQ. If all bands are boosted or cut, flatten
EQ, re-adjust gain and start again.
ŸUse electronic safety devices such as circuit breakers.
ŸAvoid damp environments and extremes of temperature for storage and use of
all audio equipment.
