PATENTS PENDING
Congratulations on your purchase of the VECTOR SL CABINET. You are now
the owner of the most innovative guitar subwoofer speaker cabinet ever
produced. The patent pending VECTOR SL ACTIVE GUITAR CABINET has bass
on tap, designed as the perfect complement with maximum performance when
used with the THETA HEAD. Years of experience in designing the highest
performance Active Sound Reinforcement cabinets has allowed ISP
Technologies engineers to develop the ultimate Active guitar subwoofer
cabinet. The VECTOR SL was developed in collaboration with the worldrenowned guitarist Steve Lukather to provide the maximum possible over the
top performance with stunning low-end punch and definition. The VECTOR SL
allows the player to connect any guitar head and extension speaker cabinet,
2x12 or 4x12, or combo amplifier to complete a high performance full range
guitar system. The VECTOR SL delivers up to 600 watts RMS to a 15-inch high
excursion speaker, which is driven directly from the internal 600-watt RMS
amplifier. The input signal from the guitar head or combo is fed to an internal
crossover and allows connection to an external speaker cabinet providing the
mid and high frequency output. The guitar head speaker output signal is
internally attenuated low passed and then feeds the input of the internal 600watt D-CAT amplifier to drive the 15-inch woofer.
PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS SECTION TO PROVIDE
YEARS OF TROUBLE FREE USE. THIS UNIT REQUIRES CAREFUL HANDELING.
All warnings on this equipment and in the operation instructions should be
adhered to and all operating instructions should be followed.
Do not use this equipment near water. Care should be taken so that objects do
not fall onto and liquids are not spilled into the unit through any openings.
The power cord should be unplugged from the outlet when the unit is left
unused for a long period of time.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THIS EQUIPMENT. THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD
BE SERVICED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNELL ONLY. DO NOT MAKE
ANY INTERNAL ADJUSTMENTS OR ADDITIONS TO THIS EQUIPMENT AT ANY
TIME. DO NOT TAMPER WITH INTERNAL ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS AT ANY
TIME. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY OF THIS EQUIPMENT, AND MAY CAUSE A SHOCK HAZZARD.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
This unit requires connection to a 120-volt AC outlet. Do not cut or disconnect
the ground pin on the power cord. Do not attempt to connect this unit to any
power source other than the specified 120VAC. The VECTOR SL will typically
draw approximately four amps of current when driven hard.
CAUTION:
Most tube amplifiers require a load on the output to avoid
damage to the amplifiers output transformer. Make sure you
connect an external speaker cabinet to the VECTOR SL
external speaker output before applying power to any tube
amplifier to avoid potential damage to the tube amplifier. This
will ensure a proper load is applied to the output of the tube
amplifier. ISP will not assume responsibility for damage to
any externally connected units.
VECTOR SL CONCEPT
The VECTOR SL was designed for ease of use; simply connect the speaker
output of the THETA HEAD, or any other guitar amplifier, to the input of the
VECTOR SL like you would any other speaker cabinet. Connect your favorite
speaker cab to the external output, set the impedance switch to the impedance
of your cabinet, and get ready to unleash the most unbelievable low-end punch
and bass performance you have ever heard in a guitar system. The internal
amplifier of the THETA head or other guitar amp drives the external speakers
directly after being high passed by the VECTOR SL and simultaneously delivers
the input signal for the internal power amplifier that drives the internal active
subwoofer. The subwoofer level is adjustable via the sub level control on the
back of the VECTOR SL cabinet. The internal 600-WATT RMS Active 15-inch
subwoofer delivers deeper, low-end punch than any other guitar cabinet
available. The VECTOR SL Cabinet is flat all the way down to 45Hz delivering
enough low-end bass to match the frequency response of any 7-string guitar.
Tune down as far as you want and the VECTOR SL continues to perform. To all
this performance add three-way power amplifier protection and you have the
most reliable active guitar system ever made. The VECTOR SL’s internal D-CAT
amplifier has global thermal protection, thermal protection built in the power
transformer, and an on board distortion limiter circuit to eliminate the possibility
of feeding square waves to the woofer. This means that, as long and hard as
you drive the VECTOR SL, even to its maximum limits, you never have to worry
about failures. Whether you use the THETA head or any other guitar amplifier
the VECTOR SL delivers a level of performance never before available.
VECTOR SL CABINET BACK PANEL CONNECTIONS
1. INPUT JACK
Connect the speaker output of your guitar amplifier to this input jack. The
VECTOR SL will internally attenuate the speaker output and apply this
signal to the input of the internal D-CAT amplifier to drive the subwoofer.
2. SUB LEVEL
The SUB LEVEL adjusts the output level of the VECTOR SL’s internal
subwoofer.
3. INPUT JACK
Connect the speaker output of your guitar amplifier to this input jack. The
VECTOR SL will internally attenuate the speaker output and apply this
signal to the input of the internal D-CAT amplifier to drive the subwoofer.
4. EXTERNAL SPEAKER JACK
Connect your external speaker to this output jack.
5. IMPEDANCE SELECTOR SWITCH
Set this switch to the proper impedance of your external speaker
cabinet(s). This will apply the correct crossover point for the system.
6. POWER INLET CONNECTOR
Connect the IEC AC power cord to this connector.

FUSE REPLACEMENT
1. Use a small screwdriver as shown to slide the fuse
cover out from the power inlet module. The fuse can
be found inside the fuse cover module after it is
pulled out.
NOTE: A SMALL COMPARTMENT IS ALSO PROVIDED
WITHIN THE FUSE COVER MODULE FOR
STORING A SPARE FUSE.
2. After replacing the fuse with another of identical
specifications, push the fuse cover module fully back
into place, ensuring that the fuse has snapped onto
the fuse holder inside the power inlet module.
