Illustration showing connections for amplifier, equalizer, reverberation, and power monitor.
Use speakers with impedance over 8 ohms when operating two systems simultaneously.
Connect tape deck to GE-80 for playback equalization or RA-80 for recording effects.
Control sound with equalizer, record equalized sound, and listen to tape with GE-80.
Enhance sound with reverberations, control delay and time, and obtain duet effects.
Read peak power at different levels and switch between speaker systems.
Detailed explanation of the GE-80's controls: Power Switch, Equalizer Controls, Tape Monitor, Equalizer Switch, Recording Switch, and Attenuator.
Adjust frequencies (50 Hz to 13 kHz) to shape low, mid, and high tones for desired sound.
Operate Tape Monitor, Equalizer, and Equalizer Recording switches for various audio routing and effects.
Use the attenuator switch to reduce volume by 6 dB or prevent distortion from high input signals.
Ensure secure connections, turn off power before connecting/disconnecting, and manage cords properly.
Step-by-step guide to powering on, setting tape monitor, using equalizer, and recording with or without equalization.
Explanation of RA-80 controls: Power, Tape Monitor, Reverberation, Recording, Effect, Attenuator, Time, and Depth controls.
