Always Listening
I have never seen the point in doing things the way others have done them. I also have not been very interested in following the latest fad. I am a Stanford educated engineer who worked his way through school as a musician. Like all musicians, I have lugged amplifiers up stairways and into car trunks, always wondering why these things had to be so heavy, bulky, and hard to handle.
Introduction
As I am the principal innovator at reflect my attitudes and life experiences. I dont model my designs after other manufacturers products (as some of our competitors are proud of reciting). Instead, I believe new and old problems are best solved with new solutions. Having taken our own path, products enjoy a unique, unmatched sound, allowing the artist using them every opportunity to make an original statement. Having supported my products for over thirty years, I have learned from the story they tell. is a reflection of that story, and has a commitment to support that legacy. Just as the products I created thirty years ago are still telling their story, the products we create today will be talking to us tomorrow. Well be listening,

Quick Start
The 700RB Series is designed to be simple to operate. All controls have a well defined purpose and are well behaved. These directions will take you through the basics and give you a good start for setting up your sound.
700RB Series
Quick Start
First:
Set the power switch to Off and connect the supplied power cable, from the amplifier AC receptacle, to an AC power outlet of proper voltage and power rating (see safety information on page 7 for details).
Next:
Connect your speaker cabinets to the amplifier outputs marked 380W AMP ONLY or “SPEAKON” OUTPUTS. Be sure not to exceed the recommended speaker load below.
Maximum Recommended Speaker Load:
One 4 Ohm, or two 8 Ohm cabinets on the 380W Amp. One or two 8 Ohm horns on the 50W Amp.
If you are using an RBH Series cabinet, use the supplied 4 conductor Speakon cable to connect to the Speakon outputs on the rear panel of the amplifier. Set the Woofer X-Over and Tweeter Hi Cut switches on the front panel to the IN position. In addition, set the switch on the RBH cabinet to Bi-Amp.
For connection to all other cabinets, connect to the 1/4 outputs labeled 380W amp only. Set the Woofer X­Over switch on the front panel to the Out position.
For more information on Bi-Amp and Normal Operation, see page 7.
Caution:
Do not connect the Speakon cable labeled Bridge Mode to the 700RB. This may result in damage to the ampli­fier.
Then:
Set all EQ controls and the Boost control to 12 oclock. The Voicing Filters should be turned all the way down to get a flat response. Set the Volume and Master Volumes at 0. If you have a five string bass, push the button marked String Bass in.
Next:
Using an instrument cable, connect your bass to the Input jack and turn the power switch on and play. If the input clipping LED flashes, push the button marked
10db
in. This will prevent you from overdriving the
preamp.
-
Now:
Set the volume control to 12 oclock and slowly bring the Master volume up. Do not turn the Volume control in the input section past 12 oclock unless you want an overdrive effect. If you have a bass with passive electron­ics make sure the controls are all the way up. If you have a bass with active electronics, turn all of the EQ controls on the bass to the middle or flat position.
At This Point:
You should be hearing your bass quite well. You can use the Volume and Woofer-Master to achieve a comfortable sound level. up the Woofer-Master control first.
Remember:
If you need more volume, turn
