IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• ONLY connect one amplifier to your bass speaker
enclosure(s). Two amplifier outputs connected together
may damage your equipment.
• DO NOT connect speakers with a total impedance load
below the minimum rating of your amplifier to prevent
damage to your equipment. See Impedance Guidelines.
• DO NOT connect speakers with a total power handling
capacity that is below the power output rating of your
amplifier to prevent damage to your speakers.
• ALWAYS switch your system power OFF before connecting
or disconnecting speakers.
• ONLY use unshielded speaker cable of 18 gauge or heavier
(such as 16 or 14 gauge) for speaker connections. Shielded
instrument cable may limit the power delivered to your
speaker and the cable may overheat.

speaker enclosures during performance to extend your bass
response by coupling the enclosure more closely to the
floor.
INPUT PANEL
A . TwEETER ATTENUATOR CONTROL—Use this knob
to adjust the tweeter (high-frequency) volume level
anywhere from infinite "∞" resistance (no tweeter), to zero
resistance (maximum tweeter). A normal setting for this
control is straight up (approximately –4dB attenuation).
NOTe: Any amplifier clipping (distortion) that occurs will
always be accentuated by the tweeter. Turn down the
master volume on your amplifier to reduce clipping.
An internal (passive) crossover divides the signal, sending
frequencies above 5kHz to the tweeter and frequencies
below 5kHz to the drivers.
B/C . INPUT AND OUTPUT JACkS—custom Pro Specialist™
enclosures offer both 1/4" phone {B} and Speakon® {c}
input/output jacks to provide flexibility in making your
speaker connections. Use the Speakon® jacks whenever
possible to take advantage of their superior power
transfer efficiency and secure locking connectors. All
four jacks are full range and wired in parallel.
D . OUTPUT JACkS—You can connect multiple custom Pro
Specialist™ enclosures to your amplifier within limits (see
Impedance Guidelines below). connect the first speaker to
your amplifier as usual, then connect the second speaker
to an Output {D} jack on the first speaker, and so on.
