USING THE REACTOR SERIES POWER AMP
The 50w power amp module in the Active Cab, Active Wedge, or MB-50
is easy to use and offers the controls needed for a great range of music
performance situations. NOTE: Always lower the output level knobs on
any connected devices before beginning to operate the power amp.
1. POWER UP! Connect the supplied Power Cable to your unit’s
Power Input located on the back panel.
2. Using a high-quality cable, connect a signal source to either the
Unbalanced (¼”) Input or the Balanced (XLR) Input.
3. Turn the Power Switch to ON (it should light up).
4. IMPORTANT: Wait at least 60 seconds for the amplifier to warm
up, then set the Standby Switch to ON.
5. Increase the level of your instrument or processor and set the
Master Level of the Reactor Series power amp to the desired
level. Adjust the tweeter level to taste.
REMINDER: The Balanced XLR Thru is an output, designed to pass the
balanced signal from the XLR input through to a second amplifier, mixer,
recording console or other device. It is not wired to the unbalanced ¼“ in.
WHO’S DRIVING? Whether you like to run your source signal “Hot” and
lower the master volume of the Reactor, or turn up the Reactor and lower
the output level of a connected instrument or processor, you will find
that the Reactor operates quietly and sounds great.
POSITION & PLACEMENT As with any audio system the floor, walls, and
other characteristics of your performance space will shape the sound you
hear from any speaker. You can increase openness and clarity by
elevating Reactor Series cabinet models from several inches to several
feet above the floor using casters, blocks, or an amp stand. Wedge
models are less affected in this way because of their angled design.
