Volume Knob, except when headphones are connected.
Note: When connecting XLR DIRECT OUTS to other equipment
(i.e. Mixers, Recording Interfaces, etc), the SPIDER V amplier is
not intended to be used with phantom power. If phantom power
must be applied to the SPIDER V XLR DIRECT OUTS, ensure
that the GND-LIFT switch is switched to “GND” to avoid phantom
power appearing between the GUITAR INPUT’s ground and ground
reference of equipment supplying phantom power.
22. CABINET MODELING – This switch controls whether or not the
cabinet modeling and full range system is active for the external
speakers.
23. SPEAKER OUTS – Connect your external speaker(s) here. Your
speaker cabinet(s) should support at least 100 watts @ 4 Ohms or 50
watts @ 8 Ohms minimum. SPIDER V 240HC will function without
an external cabinet connected. In this mode the built-in 2-way stereo
speaker system will reproduce full range stereo audio. Once an
external cabinet is connected, the built-in speakers automatically
re-congure to reproduce high frequencies only, while the external
cabinet will provide low and mid range frequencies.
* Available on select models. Please see the comparison chart on page 3 to see
