HUGHES & KETTNER RED BOX
The RED BOX enables you to connect your
consolewithout the problems of miking. The
uitar amplifier directly to a sta
abinetulator circuitry of the RE
e or studio mixing
BOX authentically
recreates the sound of a miked-up guitar cabinet loaded with four 12” loudspeakers.
Advantages:
- No phase cqnceiiation through interaction with other open microphones.
- None of the extraneous noises a microphone would pick up
(stage rumble. bleed-through from other instruments).
- No need to lug and position an extra mike and mike stand on stage,
uncluttered stage appearance.
- Reduced set-up time, consistent sound.
Instructions:
VERY IMPORTANT: Turn off power to the amp before making any
connections to
the RED BOX. Failure to do so can result in non-warranty damage to the RED BOX.
Also VERY IMPORTANT: If
you
connect a tube amp to the SPEAKER IN jack, you
must also connect a speaker (or at least a dummy load) to the RED BOX
SPEAKER THRU jack. Failure to do so
may damage the amp. (Just like revving an
engine in neutral without a load at maximum RPM’s can damage an engine).
First, install a 9-volt battery Power from this battery is automatically turned on
First, install a 9-volt battery Power from this battery is automatically turned on
by the insertion of a standard 1/4" plug into either the LINE IN or SPEAKER IN,
and is turned back off simply by removing the plug.
Connections:
A tube output stage plays a major role in the creation of an amplifier’s tone.
With tube amps it is therefore recommended that the RED BOX be connected
to the amplifier’s loudspeaker output (and the RED BOX SPEAKER THRU be
connected to the speaker). With transistor amplifiers, however, for the sake of
the best dynamics and signal-to-noise ratio, the preamp signal (LINE OUT) is
preferred.
