Setting Up and Using the

HS 1200 Bass Amplifier

8. Adjust the three equalization

controls to taste (when you get a great

setting that complements your instru-

ment and playing style, it’s a good

idea to write it down for future use).

9. Test the headphone output by turning the Volume

control to its minimum (fully counterclockwise) position

and then connect a standard stereo headphone to the

front-panel Headphones jack. While playing your bass,

slowly turn the Volume control up—you should hear

sound from the headphones and none from the

connected speaker. We recommend the use of large

size headphones (those with large transducers) for

optimum bass reproduction.

10. If you need to connect the HS 1200 to a live sound

reinforcement or recording mixing console, plug a

standard female XLR jack into the front-panel Direct Out

output and connect it to a Direct Injection (DI) box or to

an XLR mic-level input on the mixer. (See #8 on page 5

in this manual for more information on the use of the

HS 1200 Direct Out).

If you encounter difficulty with any aspect of setting up or using your

HS 1200, you can call Samson Technical Support (1-800-372-6766)

between 9 AM and 5 PM EST.
