 The Output switch is used to 

select the signal that is sent to 

the Line Output. You can have 

either a parallel output direct-

ly from the Line input, or a 

mixed signal including the Mic 

and line inputs plus the EQ 

and limiter.  When the switch 

is in the up position, the signal 

on the Line Output is exactly 

the same as the signal on the 

Line Input. When the switch 

is in the down position, the 

Line Output carries the MIX 

of the Mic and Line Inputs. If 

the Level controls, High and Low Equalizer and Filter are used, they will also affect the signal sent to the 

Line Output.

 

 Each Live Series enclosure has a main POWER switch to activate the system. It’s a good idea to keep 

the POWER switch, and INPUT LEVEL controls, set to their off positions before you install the IEC power 

cable. Connect the supplied AC cable to the AC inlet on the rear amplifier panel. Be sure you have 

a good AC power connection, and then, set the POWER switch to the “ON” position. The LIVE series 

amplifiers feature a “soft start” circuit to protect the amplifier from potentially damaging inrush current. 

In order to ensure that the soft start circuit is working properly, be sure to avoid turning the POWER 

switch on and off too quickly.

  

 The Live Series’ microphone input accepts a standard low impedance (150-600 Ohms) input and the 

connection is made via a standard female XLR connector. The microphone input features a high qual-

ity, discrete transistor pre-amp providing transparency and extended dynamic range.  The MIC input 

can work simultaneously with the LINE input so it is possible to use a microphone while playing alone 

with a keyboard that is plugged into the Live Series’s LINE input.  You can control the microphone input 

by using the MIC LEVEL control as described in the section below.

 

 You can run several cabinets by using the LINE OUTPUT to daisy-chain one Live Series to another. The 

LINE OUTPUT is a balanced output that, depending on the position of the OUTPUT switch, will have 

either a direct parallel output of the Line input, or the Mix of the Line and Mic input. For more informa-

tion on the Output switch, see section 7 above. For more information on cables and wiring, see page 13 of

 The Live Series speakers employ an XLR connector that accepts a standard XLR mic cable for balanced 

line level signals. The LINE input can work simultaneously with the Mic input so it is possible to use a 

microphone while playing alone with a keyboard that is plugged into the Live Series’s LINE input.  You 

can control the LINE input by using the LINE LEVEL control as described in the previous page. For more
