TC Electronic ComboStaccato - Manual (Page 18)

In order to set the right level balance between the
Auxiliary input signal and your bass sound, use the
preset level feature. Level settings are stored as a part
of RH450 MEM-settings.
6 + 7 – INSERT PREAMP I/O – Effects Loop/Break point
These jacks provide a break point between the RH450’s preamp
section (which includes SpectraComp™, Tone controls and the
TubeTone™ module) and the power amp section. This break
point can be used as a regular serial effects loop for inserting
e.g. modulation effects or other external devices.
Linking Two Amps
The break point may also be used to link two RH450 units
together to achieve even more power.
–
Use a standard ¼" jack instrument cable to connect the first
RH450 PRE-AMP OUT (the upper) to the second RH450’s
POWER-AMP IN (the lower jack).
– Plug your bass into the INPUT jack on the first RH450 and
adjust your sound using the controls on this RH450.
– Set the volume using the MASTER volume knobs of both
amps. You now have tons of amplification power at your
fingertips!
8 – LINE DRIVER OUT – Balanced Line Out
Use the LINE DRIVER OUT jack to connect the RH450 to the
PA when you play on stage or to connect your amp to a
recording device when you are in the studio.
To determine where in the signal chain the signal for the
balanced output should be tapped, use the PRE/POST switch
located right beside the LINE DRIVER OUT jack.
The RH450’s MUTE button mutes the balanced output
(as well as the speaker and headphones outputs). This
means that you can tune up with no sound going to
your own rig or to the PA.
The RH450’s balanced output has been designed with the
utmost care for the sound. This is achieved through a galvanic
isolated transformer coupling. The active design by far out
performs most standard DI boxes around, and it is capable of
driving long cable hauls. No phantom power is required.
Ventilation
Be sure not to cover the black cooling plate of the RH!
Insufficient ventilation may cause the amplifier’s temperature to
increase.
If the RH450 is insufficiently ventilated, it may go into
Heat Protection mode, which is indicated by an “H” on the
front panel display.
