BEFORE YOU PLUG IN
Your cabinet has been designed to perform and operate in a professional music environment. While the design
of these cabinets mean that they can stand up to the rigors of touring there are also a few things you can do
to keep your cabinet running in top condition and performing for years! Before you plug your cabinet into you
amplier take time to read this section of the handbook to ensure you are doing everything you can to protect
your investment. Do not overload your cabinet, the stated power handling of your cabinet describes the maximum
power you should run into the cabinet, exceeding the power handling level shown will damage the speakers.
Use touring cases or covers when transporting your units, covers will keep your cabinet free from dust and dirt
while road cases will prevent cabinets and hardware being damaged in transit. D series cabinets can be heavy,
to avoid damaging your cabinet always use your common sense when lifting and moving it. By sharing the load
with someone else you will reduce the risk of dropping and damaging the unit, or yourself. To keep the heavy duty
carpet covering used on your cabinet in top condition use a vacuum cleaner with a suitable attachment to remove
dust and debris, never use liquid or cleaning products on the material.
Bass amplication embraces a mixture of technologies in amplication and to ensure you achieve the maximum
performance from your cabinet and amplier it is important to ensure you combine the right equipment for your
needs.
Using your cabinet with an amplier. Hybrid and non all tube product*
These products can often operate at a variety of loads (known as impedance) this load describes the resistance
provided by the speakers inside the cabinet you plug into. As a general rule the lower the impedance an amplier
is used at the higher the output of the amplier will be (Excludes All Tube Product) To ensure you choose the
right cabinet make sure that it meets both the Impedance requirements and the power handling (Wattage) of your
amplier. Plugging into the wrong impedance or combining the wrong amplier with a cabinet that cannot handle
the power you put through it can damage the amplier, or cabinet or both.
All Tube Product* This applies only to those ampliers which utilize tubes in power stage of operation. Generally

these are describes as All Tube or All Valve products. When choosing cabinets to use with all tube ampliers it is
important to remember that you must strictly follow the load of the amplier specied by the manufacturer. Failure
to do so can and very often will result in the failure of the power amplier stage of your product which is something
which can be very expensive to repair. As a general rule most Bass products have xed impedances to plug into.
Make sure you read and understand this before plugging into a cabinet. If in any doubt contact the manufacturer
before you turn your amplier on.
