Quick Setup for the Sumo

y Make sure all items listed on the front of this guide are in the Sumo's box. y Read the Important Safety Instructions document included with the Sumo. y Study the Hookup Diagram below. y Make sure all equipment is turned off and all gain knobs are set to zero. y Connect your keyboard, microphone, or other equipment to the Sumo in the

manner illustrated below.

y Plug in all devices and turn them on. Turn the Sumo on last, after all other

devices.

Front panel operation

1. Channel Volume – Raise or lower the volume for each channel.

2. Effect Mix – Mix in any amount of the master effect.

3. Channel 1 Bass and Treble – Boost or cut the bass and treble for channel 1

by up to +/- 15 dB using these controls. Note: Channel 1 still runs through the Master EQ section. These controls operate in addition to the Master EQ for channel 1.

4. Master EQ – Boost or cut the bass, midrange, and treble across all input

channels by up to +/- 15 dB using these controls.

5. Effect – Apply one of fifteen different stereo effects.

6. Master Volume Knob – controls the volume of the signal sent to the speaker,

headphones, STEREO LINK OUTPUT and MAIN OUTPUT.

7. Power switch – Turn the Sumo on and off. When the Sumo is on, the blue

Alesis logo illuminates.

8. Power Cord Outlet – Plug a standard IEC cord into this jack and into a

properly grounded AC outlet.

9. Fuse – Replaceable fuse. See the rear panel of the Sumo for details.

10. Fan – An internal fan keeps the Sumo running cool. The fan will remain off until

the unit heats up. Do not obstruct the air flow around this area.

11. Main Output – Plug XLR cables into one or both of these outputs to send a +4

dBu line-level signal to a balanced input on a mixer, recorder, or other audio device. The Sumo’s effects are included in the Main Output signal.

Note: The internal speaker continues to operate when the Main Output jacks are used.

12. Headphones – Plug in a set of stereo headphones using a 1/4" stereo plug.

Using the headphone jack disconnects the Sumo’s internal speaker.

13. Stereo Link Output – Use a ¼" tip-sleeve (TS) cable to connect this jack to

the input of another amplifier for true stereo. The Sumo provides true stereo output instead of the standard mono; many of the Sumo’s excellent effects will sound even better when you listen to them in stereo. If you don’t have a second amplifier, you can enjoy the stereo effects by listening with headphones.

14. ¼" Instrument Inputs – Use ¼" cables to connect synthesizers, drum

machines, and other devices. Use two cables for stereo. For mono sources, use either one of the the left and right inputs.

Note: For the cleanest signal, use "balanced" tip-ring-sleeve (TRS) cables. "Unbalanced" tip-sleeve (TS) cables may also be used, but they are more likely to conduct hum and other electromagnetic noise.

15. Microphone Input – Plug a microphone into this input using an XLR cable.

You can use both the microphone input and the ¼" inputs on channel 1 at the same time. Note: The microphone input does not provide phantom power.

Effects

The Sumo contains an advanced, stereo effects processor with fifteen different programs. Here are those programs as you rotate the Master section’s Effect knob clockwise, beginning at the "off" position (with the knob pointing straight down).
