Product Usage Instructions
- Input: Connect your device using a female XLR Combi jack line level input marked INPUT. It is recommended to use balanced connections to reduce AC HUM and interference, especially for long cable runs.
- Level: Use the LEVEL control to adjust the overall volume of the cabinet. Turn it clockwise to increase gain and counter clockwise to decrease gain. Monitor the red CLIP LED on the amplifier panel and adjust the input level to avoid constant clipping. Occasional blinking of the CLIP LED is acceptable, but constant illumination indicates an overloading condition.
- HF-TRIM: Use the HF-TRIM control to customize the high-end response of the LFR-212 cabinet based on your environment. This allows you to add or remove HF content without altering your patch parameters.
- Illumination: Use the ILLUMINATION switch to turn on or off the cabinet’s LED illumination.
- Clip LED: The CLIP LED illuminates just before the amplifier starts to clip and distort. Adjust the level controls and signal level from your source to ensure this LED only briefly lights up on peaks in the music. Using the system with constant LED illumination will result in poor sound quality and potential damage to speakers and electronics.
- Ground Lift: Use the GROUND LIFT switch to remove or reduce ground-related noise caused by ground loops when using multiple units.
- Link Out: Use the LINK OUT socket to connect an additional LFR-212 cabinet. Make sure to use a good quality TRS cable for the best audio quality.
- Voltage Select: The voltage select switch is factory set for the correct voltage in your region. If necessary, you can reset it by removing the mains lead and loosening the screws securing the cover. Pivot the cover away from the switch to select the alternative voltage. Ensure that you replace and secure the cover before reconnecting the mains lead.

LFR-212 FEATURES
-
INPUT : The LFR-212 features a female XLR Combi jack line level input marked INPUT. Balanced connections should be used as much as possible to reduce AC HUM and interference, especially with long cable runs.
-
LEVEL : Control the overall level of the LFR-212 cabinet. Turn the LEVEL control clockwise to increase gain and counter clockwise to decrease gain. Always observe the red CLIP LED on the amplifier panel. This LED lights when a signal is clipping. Set your input level so that you have the red CLIP LED blink occasionally and not constantly. A constant CLIP LED light indicates an over loading condition and should be avoided. Reduce the signal level if the CLIP LED lights or blinks constantly.
-
HF-TRIM : Allows you to tailor the LFR-212 cabinets hi end response in relation to the environment you are in. Allows you to add or remove HF content to the signal without having to alter your patch parameters.
-
ILLUMINATION : Allows you to turn on or off the cabinet LED illumination.
-
CLIP LED : Illuminates just before the amplifier begins to clip and distort. Adjust the level controls and signal level from your source so this illuminates only briefly on peaks in the music. Using the system with this LED on all or much of the time will result in poor sound quality and possible damage to speakers and electronics.
-
GROUND LIFT : Removes or reduces ground related noise arising from ground loops from using multiple units.
-
DI-OUT : Balanced XLR-DI out for sending your LFR-212 signal direct to the PA – no need to mic your LFR-212. The output from the DI-OUT can be sent FRFR or CABINET EMULATED if desired.
-
EMULATION : Allows you to select one of three modes. FRFR – gives you a FULL RANGE FLAT RESPONSE output – totally flat and uncoloured. You can also select either a 1×12 or a 4×12 cabinet emulation. This emulation mode also appears at the DI-OUT.
-
AUX-IN : Use this socket for connecting an external sound source – the volume of the sound source is controlled by its on-board volume control.
-
LINK OUT : Use this socket to connect to an additional LFR-212. Use a good quality TRS cable to ensure the best quality.
-
VOLTAGE SELECT : This is factory set to the correct voltage for the region the product is supplied to. If necessary it can be reset by removing the mains lead and loosening (but not removing) the screws securing the cover. The cover can then be pivoted away from the switch which can be moved to select the alternative voltage. DO NOT reconnect the mains lead until the cover is replaced and secured.
-
MAINS INLET SOCKET : IEC input for connection of an appropriate mains lead. Make sure the
voltage indicated on the voltage selection switch is correct for your country. -
MAINS SWITCH : Turns the system on and off. Ensure the level controls are set at minimum when switching on and off.
