IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

HEED ALL WARNINGS.

This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous
voltage within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electric shock to persons.

This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts the user to important operating and maintenance
instructions in the accompanying literature. Read the manual.

This unit is powered by potentially hazardous voltage. Therefore, observe
the following safety precautions:

1.

Read and follow all instructions before

using product.

2. Do not use product near water (such as
near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, swim­ming pool, in a wet basement, etc.).

3. Unit should be located so that its location
or position does not impede the flow of air
through the ventilation openings.

4. Product should be located away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, or
other products, including amplifiers, that pro­duce heat.

5. Product should be connected to a power
supply only of the type described in the operat­ing instructions or as marked on the product.

6. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, con­venience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.

7. Do not allow objects or liquids to penetrate the enclosure through openings.

8. During heavy use, chassis may get hot to the touch. Handle with care.

9. Protect unit from strong impact.

10. Unplug product before cleaning. Never spray liquid cleaners into the amp: wipe

with a clean, lint-free cloth to remove dirt and film.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12. This product should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the

manufacturer. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/product combi­nation to avoid injury from tipping over.

13. Amplifiers may be capable of producing high volume levels that could cause per­manent hearing loss or damage, if the exposure to such levels is prolonged. Such dam­age is progressive and irreversible! If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the
ears, consult an audiologist.

14. Unplug unit during lightning storms or when unused for long periods
of time.

15. This unit must be earth grounded. To reduce the risk of electric shock, NEVER
remove or otherwise attempt to defeat the ground pin of the power cord. If the provided
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet.

WARNING: To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, do not expose this unit to
rain or moisture. Do not remove the chassis from its cabinet, or remove metal covering
from chassis parts. Removing the chassis from its cabinet exposes extremely danger­ous high voltages. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Hazardous voltages are
present inside the chassis. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.

CAUTION: Never modify the power cord. If original power cord becomes damaged,
frayed, or has exposed wires, replace immediately with same rating and gauge, or high­er. Replacements are commercially available or you can contact Tech 21 directly.

WARNING: Attempting to repair this unit is not recommended and may void its
warranty. NOTE: In the U.S. and Canada, servicing is performed at factory only. In
other countries, please refer repairs to the local Tech 21 authorized distributor.

QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS

Here’s how you can get your Bass Power Engine up and running before you read the
entire manual. By not reading the entire manual, however, you’ll miss out on how to get
the most out of your new investment!

1. Plug your amp or pre-amp/processor output into the XLR input (preferably) or 1/4”
input of the Bass Power Engine.

2. Be sure your amp or pre-amp/processor is already turned on. (See “Noteworthy
Notes” #1: Powering Up and Powering Down.)

3. Be sure the volume of the Bass Power Engine is turned down. Attach the AC cord to
the Bass Power Engine, plug it into a wall socket and turn the Bass Power Engine on.

4. Adjust the volume and play your bass. If you do not hear sound through the Bass Power
Engine, check that all volume controls are turned up, recheck your connections, and be
sure your cable isn’t faulty. If there is still no sound, refer to factory or qualified technician.
