1. Basic Operations
Setting Up the LH-1
Consider instrument placement before playing the LH-1:
For best sound quality, the instrument should be placed in an open area and should
not be confined or surrounded by walls, curtain screens or similar furniture.
The Bass sounds radiate virtually 360 degrees around the base of the LH-1.
Mid-range and treble sounds project at a wide angle from the top rear of the instrument
(the side away from the player).
Additionally, there are hidden monitor speakers at each end of the control button panel
that project sound toward the player.
AC Power
The LH-1 is supplied with a three-wire attached AC power cord. Plug this instrument
into a properly wired three-wire grounded AC outlet only.
