RSP BASS PRE-AMP
F-1200 POWER AMP
TYPICAL RSP BI-AMP SETUP
RSP BI-AMP HOOK UP
The RSP bass pre-amp must be connected to a separate stereo power amplifier in order to
run a bi-amp configuration. The AMP 1 (LOW FREQ) a n d AMP 2 (HIGH FREQ) 1 / 4 ”
phone jacks should be connected to channels one and two of a stereo power amp. The stereo
power amplifier will then be connected to the low freq. and high freq. speaker cabinets
respectively. The crossover selector switch must be set to the B I - A M P (out) position in order
to engage the internal electronic crossover. The crossover frequency is set by rotating the X -
O V E R knob on the front panel. The mix of the low and high frequency volume levels are set
with the AMP 1 a n d AMP 2 POWER A M P C O N T R O L k n o b s. The power amplifiers indi-
vidual volume controls can now be used to set to the maximum output level desired.
4. COMPRESSOR
T h e C O M P R E S S O R of the Red Line Series amps incorporates separate T H R E S H O L D
a n d R A T I O controls. This two knob compressor is more flexible and precise than a
single control unit. The user can dial up the exact
amount of compression desired and at what level
they want the compression to begin. The T H R E S H-
O L D control knob sets the point where the com-
pressor kicks in. In the O F F position the compres-
sor is not engaged and has no effect on the sound.
Rotating this control in the clockwise direction low-
ers the level of where the compressor turns on. The
compressor indicator LED shows when this thresh-
old is obtained, thus showing when the compressor
is on. The R A T I O knob is used to set the amount of compression once the threshold
has been reached. When this knob is swept all the way counter clockwise the unit is
set for a mild compression, as the knob is rotated clockwise the compression ratio
increases. The range of available compression ratios is 1.3 to 1 in the full counter
clockwise position to 5 to 1 in the full clockwise position. The compressor is interac-
tive with the input G A I N knob and the volume knobs on the bass guitar itself. Lowing
the volume feeding the compressor will reduce the amount of compression and raising
it will result in more compression.
5. NOISE GATE
The integrated noise gate mutes the output of the amplifier when there
is no input signal present. To use the GATE connect an instrument to
the input of the amp and set the input gain level. Now, with the strings
muted raise the T H R E S H O L D control knob until the noise from the
instrument is gated off and the red indicator LED illuminates. When
the bass is played the G A T E will instantaneously turn off and let the
signal through. The integrated noise gate senses for the gate trigger
directly after the input GAIN control and gates the signal right before
the VOLUME control. This ensures that any noise generated in the EQ.
sections, or in external effects connected to the EFF LOOP will also be
gated.
6. CROSSOVER
The internal X - O V E R is used to set the amp for a bi-amped
configuration. When the B I - A M P / FULL RANGE s e l e c t o r
switch is in the out position the amp is in bi-amp mode. To
select the crossover frequency rotate the FREQ control knob
until the desired frequency is obtained. A bi-amped system
allows the user greater control over the high and low frequen-
cies of their stage rig. This allows speakers designed for spe-
cific frequencies to be utilized to their fullest potential. Also,
the use of separate power amplifiers for each frequency range
increases the efficiency of the acoustic output, yielding greater volume levels. See the set
up diagrams for more information on how to hook up a bi-amp rig.
