BASS GIG What is a Folded Horn woofer you ask? Any horn shape which gradually expands from a small inlet to a large opening will act as a physical amplifier for sound applied to the smaller end. When coupled to a loudspeaker it improves its efficiency, but a full-size horn that would work at low frequencies would make for an impractically large cabinet. By folding the horn back on itself, you can significantly reduce its size, without compromising the effect.

BASS GIG Balanced vs Unbalanced Lines A balanced line is a three-conductor system in which two signal wires carry an equal, but opposite voltage with respect to the ground wire. The ground wire acts only as a shield and does not carry any audio signal current. Outside interference is either shielded from the internal signal conductor, or if it gets into the cable is cancelled out by the opposite signals at the receiving end. Balanced connections are preferred for long cable runs.

BASS GIG 1. Full Range XLR input will accept line input signal from any line level device with a balanced output jack. 2. Full Range XLR output will send the signal from the Full Range XLR inputs to another device. 3. Amplifier clip limit LED indicator. Lights up when the amplifier is near clipping. An occassional flickering is acceptable. If LED is lit continously adjust the Level control and reduce the output level of connected sources. Failure to do so may lead to premature failure of your speaker. 4.
Trouble Shooting UNIT FAILS TO POWER UP. 1. Make sure unit is plugged in properly to wall outlet. 2. Check that power cable is plugged in tightly to unit. 3. If people or equipment tend to step and roll over or stretch your power cable it can get damaged. Always try a second cable to test for shorts in original cable. Dispose of original damaged power cables immediately. 4. If system still fails to light, UNPLUG FROM WALL.
