BEFORE YOU PLUG IN
Your cabinet has been designed to perform and operate in a professional music environment. While the design
of these cabinets mean that they can stand up to the rigors of touring there are also a few things you can do
to keep your cabinet running in top condition and performing for years! Before you plug your cabinet into you
amplifier take time to read this section of the handbook to ensure you are doing everything you can to protect
your investment. Do not overload your cabinet, the stated power handling of your cabinet describes the maximum
power you should run into the cabinet, exceeding the power handling level shown will damage the speakers.

right cabinet make sure that it meets both the Impedance requirements and the power handling (Wattage) of your
amplifier. Plugging into the wrong impedance or combining the wrong amplifier with a cabinet that cannot handle
the power you put through it can damage the amplifier, or cabinet or both.
All Tube Product* This applies only to those amplifiers which utilize tubes in power stage of operation. Generally
