WELCOME
Dear Player,
Thank you very much for purchasing your new Laney product and becoming part of
the worldwide Laney family. Each and every Laney unit is designed and built
with the utmost attention to care and detail, so I trust yours will give you
many years of enjoyment. Laney products have a heritage that stretches back to
1967 when I first began building valve amplifiers in my parent’s garage.
Since then we have moved on from strength to strength developing an extensive
range of guitar, bass, public address, multi-instrument and keyboard
amplification product along with a list of Laney endorses that includes some
of the world’s most famous and respected musicians.
At the same time, we believe we have not lost sight of the reason Laney was
founded in the first place – a dedication to building great-sounding
amplification for working musicians.
Warm Regards,
Lyndon Laney
Chairman & Founder
INTRODUCTION
R115 and R410 – the ideal high power choice to upgrade your Laney bass system
and a perfect complement to the RB4, R500-115, as part of the full bass stack:
R500H, R410, and R115 or bring life to your current Non-Laney amplifier.
Both feature high-quality drivers, rugged cabinet construction, tough vinyl
covering, protective metal corners and easy-lift side handles to ensure these
cabs will deal with the rigors of life on the road!
In addition to this, audio is hooked up via quality Input and Link Speakon
connectors located on the rear input plate which also features an On/Off
switch for the onboard HF horn.
Your Bass cabinet should give you years of trouble-free service, however,
please take time to read this manual, as it will allow you to get the best
from your system.
We hope you enjoy using your Bass cabinet as much as we enjoyed designing and
making it.
Best wishes from all at Laney.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
In order to take full advantage of your new product and enjoy the long and trouble-free performance, please read this owner’s manual carefully, and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
-
Unpacking: On unpacking your product please check carefully for any signs of damage that may have occurred whilst in transit from the Laney factory to your dealer. In the unlikely event that there has been damage, please re-pack your unit in its original carton and consult your dealer. We strongly advise you to keep your original transit carton, since, in the unlikely event that your unit should develop a fault, you will be able to return it to your dealer for rectification securely packed.
-
Amplifier Connection: In order to avoid damage, it is advisable to establish and follow a pattern for turning on and off your system. With all system parts connected, turn on source equipment, tape decks, cd players, mixers, effects processors, etc, BEFORE turning on your bass amplifier. Many products have large transient surges at turn on and off which can cause damage to your speakers.
By turning on your bass amplifier LAST and making sure its level control is set to a minimum, any transients from other equipment should not reach your loudspeakers. Wait till all system parts have stabilized, usually a couple of seconds. Similarly when turning off your system always turn down the level controls on your bass amplifier and then turn off its power before turning off other equipment -
Cables: Never use a shielded or microphone cable for any speaker connections as this will not be substantial enough to handle the amplifier load and could cause damage to your complete system.
-
Servicing: The user should not attempt to service these products. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
