Audio Control
Adjust the LEVEL knob for the dual headphone outputs to control the volume.
Use the XLR OUTPUT LEVEL control to adjust the output level from Mic Level to
Professional +4 dBu. The GROUND LIFT switch can help alleviate hum when
connecting to other devices.
Signal Chain and Monitoring
Connect your mono device or instrument to the INPUT. Use the INPUT GAIN
control to adjust input levels, ensuring the Red INPUT CLIP LED does not
illuminate. This setup is ideal for monitoring with regular guitar amps on
stage.
Bypass and Output Options
Switch 1 disables AUX and BT Inputs from the Main XLR/TRS Outputs, useful for
IEM use. Switch 2 disables AMBIENCE, IR CAB, and POWER AMP Simulations from
the TS/TRS Outputs. The fully
balanced output provides stereo Main Mix at Line Level.
FAQ
Q: How do I reset the device?
A: To reset the device, power it off and back on again by disconnecting and
