Behringer DUAL A/B SWITCH AB200 - Manual

DUAL A/B SWITCH AB200
Thank you for showing your confidence in us by purchasing
the BEHRINGER AB200. This high-quality 2-channel A/B switch
is designed for musicians who use several amps and/or
instruments. The AB200 allows you to switch between gear
noiselessly and instantaneously without coloring the sound of
your instrument. The LED always displays which element of
your system is currently being used.
1. CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS
Fig. 1.1: Rear view
Since the controls and connections of the two channels are
identical, this chapter only describes channel 1.
IN/OUT 1: this 1/4" TS jack serves as channel 1 input when
a source is plugged in (guitar, bass etc.) and as channel 1
output when an amp or an effect is plugged in.
A1 & B1: these 1/4" TS jacks serve as channel 1 outputs
when amps or effects are plugged in; they serve as channel
1 inputs when instruments are plugged in. Only one of
these connectors can be active at any one time.
LATCH/NON LATCH: this selector determines the channel
switch function: when set to LATCH, the switch is latching.
When set to NON LATCH, the signal will only be routed to or
from B1 as long as you hold the pedal depressed.

SWITCH 1: this switch allows you to assign the IN/OUT 1
signal to A1 or B1 when IN/OUT 1 is used as an input.
Otherwise, the switch assigns the A1 or B1 signal to
IN/OUT 1 when A1 and B1 are used as inputs. The A1 and
B1 LEDs display which connector is currently active.
Depending on the selector position, shortly press the
switch (LATCH) or hold it down during the whole commutation
time (NON LATCH) to toggle between A1 and B1.
To install or replace the 9 V battery, please carefully unscrew the
bottom plate and open the enclosure of the AB200. After installing
close the unit again by using all screws you removed before.

The AB200 has no on/off switch. As soon as you
insert a jack into the A1 or B1 connector, the AB200
begins running. When not using the AB200, remove
the jacks from the connectors. This extends the
life of the battery.
The SERIAL NUMBER is located at the bottom of the unit.
