Quick Start

The 2001RB is designed to be simple to operate.

All controls have a well defined purpose and are well

behaved. These directions will take you through the

basics and give you a good start for setting up your

sound.

1. Plug it in:

Set the power switch to Off and connect the supplied

power cord, from the amplifier AC receptacle, to an AC

power outlet of proper voltage and power rating (see

safety information on page 5 for details).

2. Connect your cabinets:

Connect your speaker cabinet(s) to the LEFT or

RIGHT 1/4" speaker jacks or Speakon outputs if

using our RBH series cabinets. Be sure not to exceed

the maximum recommended speaker loads below.

Maximum Recommended Speaker Loads:

Two 4 ohm or four 8 ohm cabinets per side in dual

mono mode. One or two 8 ohm horns per side on the

50W amp. To connect other manufacturer's cabinets,

use the LEFT or RIGHT 1/4" jack speaker outputs

only.

If you are using an RBH Series cabinet, use the

supplied 4 conductor Speakon cable to connect to the

"Speakon" outputs on the rear panel of the amplifier.

In addition, set the switch on the RBH cabinet to Bi-

Amp.

For more information on Bridged mode and Bi-Amped

mode, see pages 10-11.

Caution:

Do not connect the Speakon cables labeled "Bridge

Mode" to the 2001RB. This may result in damage to

the amplifier.

3. Initial front panel control settings:

Set all EQ controls and the Boost control to 12

o'clock. The Voicing Filters should be turned all the

way down to get a flat response. Set the Level and

Master Volumes at 0. If you have a five string bass,

push the button marked String Bass in. Make sure the

Level A/B button is out, so you are in the clean

channel.

4. Plug in your bass:

Using an instrument cable, connect your bass to the

Input jack and press the power switch on. If you have

active tone controls on your bass, turn all of the

controls to the middle or flat position and turn the

volume all the way up. If you have conventional,

passive tone controls, turn all tone and volume

controls all the way up.

5. Level and Master Volume settings:

Set the Master Volume to 12 o'clock. Turn the Level-A

volume up as you play. Try not to turn it past 1

o'clock if you have a bass with active tone controls

unless you want an overdrive effect. If the yellow clip

light turns on, press the -10db button in. If it is still

on, try turning the volume down on your bass.

At this point:

You should be hearing your bass quite well. You can

use the Volume and Woofer-Master to achieve a

c o mf o r t a b l e s ound l e v e l .

more volume, turn up the Woofer-Master control first.
