DUAL BASS STATION DBS-1
OWNER’S MANUAL
Thank you for choosing Providence. In order to take full advantage of the product’s features and performance, please read this
manual thoroughly and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
■Main Features
●The Dual Bass Station is a high-performance bass preamplifier with dual inputs and EQ channels. With a single bass guitar plugged into the IN-A input you can
switch between the A and B channel EQ settings as required. Both channels feature versatile 3-band equalizers that are ideal for use with a wide range of musical
genres and playing styles. The parametric midrange controls allow detailed tonal adjustment.
●Great care has been taken in the selection and implementation of all signal-carrying parts and circuitry, achieving overall specifications and sonic per-
formance that rival high-end audio equipment. The internal circuitry is powered by a 24-volt supply, allowing the expressive dynamic range of bass guitar
to come through with maximum impact and clarity.
●EQ controls employ precision potentiometers with a control curve that has been specially designed for maximum subjective linearity.

When no plug is inserted into the IN-B jack (below), the signal fed to the IN-A jack is routed
to both the A and B channels so you can set up two different EQs and switch between
them as required. When using a single bass guitar, always connect it to the IN-A connector.

ments are connected to both the IN-A and IN-B jacks, the instrument connected to IN-A
will go through channel A, and the instrument connected to IN-B will go through chan-
nel B.

the DBS-1 EQ or level controls.
