PRACTICE SAFE SOUND™

loss. High power automotive sound systems can generate sound pressure levels in excess of
130dB. When playing your system at high levels, please use hearing protection and avoid
long term exposure.

FRONT PANEL
The front panel of the HP-RB1 consists of:
1. LED illuminated outer ring - which will glow (when the power connections are
made).
2. Remote Bass Control - Rotate clockwise to increase the amount of bass/gain, or
counterclockwise to reduce the bass/gain. This control can be recessed by pushing
on the control.
REAR PANEL
The rear panel has 2 connections:
1. A two-wire harness allows control of the illumination of the LED. Connect the Red
+ wire to a illumination control output, or to a source of 12-15V power (current
draw is less than 20mA). Connect the Black or GND lead to a convenient power
ground. The control and illumination circuits are independent.
2. A standard 3.5mm "mini" phone jack connects the gain control knob to the cor-
responding amplifier via a 2 conductor, 15 foot cable. Connect the other connec-
tor to the remote jack on the amplifier.
Attach the body of the unit to the underside of the dash using 2 screws on either side of
the control housing.
Note: The control can be removed from the housing if flush-mounting is desired.
Remove the two hex head screws at the side. Remove the 2 Phillip’s head screws
securing the PCB. Remove the ring retainer on the front of the control, and then
remove the PCB.
Note: Before drilling any holes verify that there are no obstructions (wiring, ven-
tilation, etc) on the other side of the dash.
