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

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.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. Servicing: The user should not attempt to service these products. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

This product conforms to the requirements of the following European Regulations, Directives & Rules: CE Mark (93/68/EEC), Low Voltage (2014/35/EU), EMC (2014/30/EU), RoHS (EU2011/65/EU)

  7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

  8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

  9. An apparatus with Class I construction shall be connected to a main socket outlet with a protective connection. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.

  10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point they exit from the apparatus.

  11. Only use attachments/accessories provided by the manufacturer.

  12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

  13. The mains plug or appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device and shall remain readily operable. The user should allow easy access to any mains plug, mains coupler, and mains switch used in conjunction with this unit thus making it readily operable. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

  14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

  15. Never break off the ground pin. Connect only to a power supply of the type marked on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord.

  16. If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.

  17. Note for the UK only: If the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this unit do not correspond with the terminals in your plug‚ proceed as follows:
    a) The wire that is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal that is marked by the letter E‚ the earth symbol‚ colored green or colored green and yellow.
    b) The wire that is colored blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N or the color black.

  18. This electrical apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and care should be taken not to place objects containing liquids, such as vases, upon the apparatus.

  19. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearlyLaney R115 & R410 - symbol everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time.
    The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures: According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Earplugs or protectors to the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when
    operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits as set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as this amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.

  20. Symbols & nomenclature used on the product and in the product manuals, intended to alert the operator to areas where extra caution may be necessary, are as follows:

Intended to alert the user to the presence of high ‘Dangerous Voltage’ within the product’s enclosure that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of electrical shock to persons.
