ZOOM FIRE-18M

Thank you for selecting the ZOOM FIRE-18M. This product is a modified version of the popular Modeling
Guitar Amplifier FIRE-18. It incorporates all the functions of the FIRE-18 and adds a built-in mic for picking
up the sound of the speaker, and a set of direct output jacks. This document explains functions and
specifications that have been added or changed. For information on common functions and specifications, refer
to the supplied manual of the FIRE-18.

FIRE-18M features

In addition to providing equivalent functionality as the FIRE-18, the FIRE-18M offers the following features.

• High-performance microphone and dedicated preamplifier built into the cabinet allow direct pickup

of the sound from the loudspeaker. Without the need for any cumbersome setup, this lets you easily
obtain the sound of a guitar amp via mic.

• RECORDING OUT jacks let you supply the amp signal directly to other equipment. Use the mic input

signal and line output signal separately, or control the mixing balance between the two for sending
to a recorder or other external device.

Changes in controls and jacks

The following controls and jacks of the FIRE-18M are different from the FIRE-18.

Front panel

(1) [PHONES] jack

A pair of headphones can be connected to this jack. When a plug is inserted here,
the sound from the speaker is automatically cut off.

* The FIRE-18 manual states that this jack "can be used to connect a recording

device or a pair of headphones", but in the FIRE-18M, the jack is a dedicated
headphone jack.

Rear panel

(1) RECORDING OUT [BALANCE] jack

This is a balanced XLR output jack which can be used to supply a
signal to the balanced input of a recorder or mixer.

(2) RECORDING OUT [UNBALANCE/PHONES] jack

This is an unbalanced TRS phone output jack which can be used to
supply a signal to the unbalanced input of a recorder or mixer. It can
also be used as an additional headphone jack. (The speaker is not cut
off when a plug is inserted here.)

(3) [LINE LEVEL] knob

This control adjusts the line signal level at the RECORDING OUT jacks (1) and (2).
If the knob is turned fully counterclockwise, no line signal is output.

(4) [MIC LEVEL] knob

This control adjusts the mic signal level at the RECORDING OUT jacks (1) and (2).
If the knob is turned fully counterclockwise, no mic signal is output.

Using the signal from the internal mic

The FIRE-18M has a microphone and dedicated preamplifier built into the cabinet to allow direct pickup of the
sound from the loudspeaker. The sound from the mic is mixed with the internal line signal of the amplifier and
supplied directly to the RECORDING OUT jacks.
This section explains how to supply the mic signal to an external recorder or other device via the RECORDING
OUT jacks.
