Fishman Loudbox 100 - Manual (Page 5)

Getting Started
Here are some basic setup tips to help get you going. To operate the Loudbox 100 safely, please
read the entire manual, especially the Important Safety Instructions on page 3.
If your amplifier has an operating voltage of 120V, plug the provided AC line cord into the back of
the amplifier.
If your amplifier operates at 230V, you must supply your own detachable power cord. The cord you
supply must have an IEC-style 320 connector at one end, and a male AC plug appropriate for your
area at the other.
1. Locate the Power switch (above the rear panel power cord terminal) and switch it off
(down position), then connect the power cord.
2. Plug the Loudbox 100 into an electrical outlet with the appropriate AC voltage.
3. Push in the Mute switch and turn on the Power switch.
4. Connect your instrument to the Channel 1 input with a shielded 1/4-inch cable.
5. Play aggressively and raise Channel 1 Gain until Clip LED flashes, then back off the
Gain until no clipping occurs.
6. Set the controls as illustrated below.
7. Push the Mute switch (out) and slowly raise the Master Volume to the desired level.
