IN1/IN2: Combo inputs that allow you to connect your
instruments using XLR or TS cables. TRS cables can also be used
for gear with balanced outputs.
• IN LEVEL KNOB [dB]: Sets the input gain.
• IMPEDANCE KNOB [Ω]: Sets the impedance of the Hi-Z input
from between 10K to 10M. This option is only available when
“TYPE” is set to “Instrument”.
• TYPE SWITCH: Toggle between “Mic” (XLR) and “Instrument”
(TS/TRS) inputs. If you are using a guitar or bass select
“Instrument”.
• PHANTOM 48V SWITCH: Enables Phantom Power. This option
is only available when “TYPE” is set to “Mic”.
• GROUND LIFT SWITCH: Enable to help reduce or eliminate
noise caused by ground loops in audio cables or other sources.
• IN LEVEL: Input signal meter.
Inputs
RET1/RET2: Line inputs that allow you to connect your pedals or
instruments through TRS cables.
• RET LEVEL KNOB [dB]: Sets the input gain.
• GROUND LIFT SWITCH: Enable to help reduce or eliminate
noise caused by ground loops in audio cables or other sources.
• RET LEVEL: Input signal meter.
EXP1/EXP2: Line inputs that allow you to connect your expression
pedals through TRS cables.
• POSITION: Indicates the minimum and maximum values of
your connected device. Move the expression pedal up and
down to the minimum and maximum positions to measure it.
Tap SAVE to keep your settings or tap RECALIBRATE to try
again.
The Volume Wheel controls the output level, and it affects all the
outputs. The I/O Settings output controls allow you to control the
levels of each output independently.
Outputs
OUT1/OUT2: XLR outputs that allow you to connect Quad Cortex
to stereo monitors, FRFR cabinets, PA systems, and more.
• OUT LEVEL KNOB: Sets the output level.
• GROUND LIFT SWITCH: Enable to help reduce or eliminate
noise caused by ground loops in audio cables or other sources.
• OUT LEVEL [dB]: Output signal meter.
