Setup
Turning the power on/off
Before you turn the power on or off, you must turn
down the volume of any connected devices.
When using batteries:
1.
To open the battery compartment, lightly press
the tab located by the arrow and lift the cover up.
Install four AA alkaline batteries (sold separately)
observing the correct polarity and close the
cover.
2.
When using batteries, the power will turn on
when a mono cable is plugged into the INPUT
jack. The display will light while the power is on.
The power will turn off when you remove the
cable from the INPUT jack.
Be sure to remove the cable from the INPUT jack
when you are not using the AX10B to preserve
battery life.
If you connect a stereo cable, the power will not be
turned on.
When the batteries run down, an indication of 
will blink in the display. Please replace the batteries
as soon as possible. If dead batteries are left in the
unit, they may leak or cause other malfunctions.
You should also remove the batteries if you will not
be using the AX10B for an extended period.
When using the AC adaptor:
1.
Connect the separately sold AC adaptor to the
DC 9V jack, and plug the AC adaptor into an AC
outlet. The POWER LED will light, and the power
will turn on.
Use only the specified external AC adaptor. (p.14)
Be sure to disconnect the AC adaptor from the AC
outlet when you are not using the AX10B.
Do not apply excessive force to the cable.
Wrap the AC adaptor cable around the hook as
shown in the diagram.
Connections
1.
Turn off the power of the equipment you want to
connect, and lower each volume control.
2.
Set the INPUT L/H switch according to the output
of your pickups.
“H” is suitable for basses that have a high output
level. “L” is suitable for basses that have a low
output level.
3.
Connect your bass to the INPUT jack.
4.
Set the LINE/AMP select switch to the appropriate
position.
Use the “AMP” position if you are connecting the
AX10B to a bass amp. Use the “LINE” position if
you are connecting the AX10B to audio equip-
ment such as mixers, recorders or headphones.
If you are connecting the AX10B to a bass amp that
has a tweeter for extended high-frequency re-
sponse, select the “LINE” position.
5.
Connect the OUTPUT jack to your amp or
recorder, etc.
The OUTPUT jack is stereo (TRS), so if you use
a mono cable to connect it to your bass amp etc.,
only the sound of the L (left) channel will be
heard.
If you are listening through headphones, connect
them to this jack.
If you are running into two channels of a mixer or
using two amplifiers in stereo, use a stereo to
dual mono cable.
6.
When you have finished making connections,
turn on the power of your bass amp, recorder, or
other equipment, and adjust the volume.
Use the MASTER buttons to adjust the overall
volume (master level) of the AX10B. (p.7  13 )
TIPS
If the sound distorts when you play the AX10B in
“bypass” mode, use the MASTER buttons to lower
the level.
