Fender knows the importance of sound reinforcement. From the simple box-top mixer
to today's professional touring concert systems, the need to communicate, to make the
connection between the performer and the audience is foremost in Fender's mind.

Perhaps no other single piece of gear can make or break your band's sound. You see,
your sound system is more than just a combination of dials, wires and speakers. It is
an integral part of the audio chain and should be treated with special care and attention
to detail.

At Fender, we know what building quality musical instruments and sound reinforcement
equipment is all about. In fact, many of the world's best sounding electric musical
instruments and sound reinforcement equipment proudly wear the Fender name.

Whether you need a simple box top powered mixer for your Saturday afternoon jam, or
a professional full-size concert system, Fender has the sound reinforcement equipment
to meet your needs. Likewise, your decision to purchase Fender pro audio gear is one
you will appreciate with each performance for years to come.

Wishing you years of enjoyment and a heartfelt thank you,

INPUT CHANNEL CONTROL FUNCTIONS

AB

C

DE

A. EQ - Adjusts the tone / frequency boost or cut of

its respective channel. When the tone control is set
at the 12 o’clock (notched) position, the channel is
“flat” with no frequencies cut or boosted. As the dial
is rotated clockwise, the treble response increases.
Likewise, as the dial is rotated counterclockwise the
treble response decreases.

B. EFX - This knob controls the amount of signal its
respective channel sends to the EFX output jack for
external signal processing devices and to the internal
reverb pan. When the knob is set at 0, no signal is
sent to the EFX output jack for external signal
processing or to the internal reverb pan.

C. LEVEL - Adjusts the volume of the individual
channel. Rotating the knob clockwise increases the
respective channel’s contribution to the “Main Out”
mix. After slowly raising the MAIN volume control,
slowly bring up this input level control listening for
the onset of feedback or howling or until the desired
level is reached. The LTB’s overall volume can be
increased by rotating the MAIN control clockwise.

D. HIGH Z - Plug your high impedance
microphones, keyboards, drum machines, outboard
effects, etc. in here. This 1/4 inch, TS unbalanced
input jack is suited for use with items having line
level outputs.

E. LOW Z - Plug your microphone in here. This
three pin XLR balanced female input connector is
intended for input signals from low impedance
microphones. Pins 2 and 3 automatically provide
Phantom Power (+15V DC) for some condenser
style microphones.
