6
The PowerStage 100 utilizes a variety of
connectors on its input panel. Below is
a chart listing the various types of
connectors on the PowerStage 100. Before using the PowerStage 100,
please read and follow the steps listed
below:
1. Heed all safety warnings when operating the
PowerStage 100.
2. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position
and all volume levels are in the Min position.
3. Plug the female end of the supply cord into the
Supply Cord Jack (item L page 5) of the PowerStage
100. Next, plug the supply cord into a power source
with the correct voltage.
4. Connect the cord(s) from your microphone or
other signal source(s) to the PowerStage 100's input
jack(s).
5. If you have a PowerStage Xpander 100, connect
it to the PowerStage 100 via the 1/4" Line Output
Jack (item K).
6. First, turn all outboard gear, instruments and other
equipment ON, then the PowerStage 100.
7. Adjust volume levels to the appropriate levels,
listening for feedback or other ringing.
8. If feedback is encountered, rotate the appropriate
(
LOW or HIGH band) frequency notch filter control
down to its lowest position. Next, slowly turn the
frequency control knob to pinpoint the location of
the problem frequency and cancel it.
9. Steps 7 and 8 may need to be performed more
than once if several feedback problems occur.
