KHE ACS SERIES – USER MANUAL www.KHE-AudioElectronics.com 11 / 23
For an easy and quick setup of the ACS systems, follow a simple setup procedure:
Study this manual in detail before using the ACS, making sure you understand functions, features
and wiring correctly and as intended.
Start with the most simple and basic setup. Hook up one amp and one cab, and verify all functions.
Add more amps and cabs step by step, always testing and verifying.
Add more complex elemens such as Load Boxes, Attenuators, Reamping Boxes and Effect Pedals
last, after verifying the basic operation of the system. Add them step by step, and always making
sure the wiring is correct and the system operates correctly.
INITIAL SETUP PROCEDURE
1) Make sure all amplifiers and the ACS are powered OFF and the volume turned down.
2) Power on the ACS.
3) Connect all load devices to the ACS.
4) Connect the amplifiers inputs and outputs one by one to the ACS :
5) Verify the cabeling once again, make 100% sure there is no misrouting or cable mixup.
Misrouting can damage the amplifiers and the ACS!
6) Activate one cabinet output by pressing the switch on the frontpanel
7) Power-on the first amplifier and activate the amp by pressing the switch on the panel.
8) Slowly turn-up the volume control on the selected amp. In case there is no sound, noise or other
irregularities from your amplifier, imediately turn off the amplifier and verify the wiring and the
settings on the amplifier (volume gain etc).
9) repeat step 8) for all amplifiers
10) enjoy!
NORMAL START-UP SEQUENCE
1) Power-ON the ACS
2) Turn on the amplifiers, standby mode.
3) Let the amplifiers heat up.
4) Disable the standby mode of the amplifiers.

NEVER unplug any connections of an amplifier that is connected to the ACS while the amplifier is on.
NEVER unplug the amplifier input cable and never plug the guitar cable straight in the amp input.
NEVER exceed the maximum amplifier & load power rating.
NEVER unplug a power attenuator in the power attenuator insert while the ACS is ON.
ALWAYS power-on the ACS before the connected equipment.
BE CAREFUL when using built-in time-based effects in amps like reverb or delay. Always make sure to either
C) turn the effect pedal off before disableing or changing an amp or
