TYPICAL BI-AMP SETUP
R600 BI-AMP HOOK UP
The R600 bass amp contains two separate (stereo) power amplifiers. This makes it possi-
ble to run a full Bi-amped rig directly off of your bass amp. The AMP 1 (LOW FREQ) 1/4”
phone jack should be connected to a low frequency speaker cabinet, usually a 15” or 18”
speaker. The AMP 2 (HIGH FREQ) 1/4” phone jack will be connected to a set of high fre-
quency drivers, often a 4x10 box with a tweeter. 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-OVER knob on the front panel. The mix of the
low and high frequency volume levels are set with the AMP 1 and AMP 2 POWER AMP
CONTROL knobs.
7. GRAPHIC EQ.
The nine band graphic eq. has been designed with the center frequencies most requested
by professional bass players. The eq. can be used to fine tune the tonal content of the
amps output. Since the graphic eq. is controllable with either the optional F S 2 2
footswitch or the EQ switch on the front panel, it can be used to develop a second sound
from the amp. Musicians that play more than one bass on stage will find this useful to get
the sounds they desire out of each of their instruments. The footswitch selectable graphic
eq. can also be useful during passages of a song when the bass needs to punch through
the mix. A yellow LED indicator located along side of the eq. signifies when the graphic
eq. is in the circuit. A green effect loop LED labeled EFF LOOP indicates when the effects
loop is turned on. Note: the EQ switch on the front panel overrides the SELECT switch
on the footswitch. So when the graphic eq. is off on the front panel it can not be turned on
with the footswitch.
8. OUTPUT GROUP
The output group determines how the Red Line amplifier interfaces with other gear and
speakers. The VOLUME control sets the overall volume level of the amp, use this control
to set the amplifier to the desired listening volume. The POWER AMP CONTROL knobs
deliver precision control over the individual amps. These are used to balance the low and
high cabinets when biamping. To set the balance in a bi-amped rig bring up the AMP 1
(LOW FREQ) knob until the desired volume
level is reached. Now bring up the AMP 2
(HIGH FREQ) knob until the desired balance
between the lows and highs is met. If the volume
control is at its maximum position and more vol-
ume is needed, increase both P O W E R A M P
C O N T R O L knobs by the same amount, so that
the mix is unchanged. The POWER AMP CON-
TROL knobs can also be used to set the level of
two full range speakers. So one speaker can be
used as a monitor for the guitar player or drum-
mer and the other speaker as the main bass cabi-
net. A front panel mounted PHONES jack is pro-
vided for practicing or as a place to hook up a
tuner. Use high quality headphones with an
impedance greater than 100W when connecting to
this jack. The phones jack does not interrupt the
amplifiers output, so a tuner can be left plugged
into this jack while playing. Note: When using a Tip / Ring (mono) cable to attach gear
such as a tuner to the phones jack insert the cable to the first click of the jack.
