Frequently Asked Questions - S.B.G. -006 ALM

How do I pair the S.B.G. -006 with my phone?

Turn on the speaker. Press and hold the Bluetooth button until the indicator flashes quickly. On your phone, search for 'S.B.G. -006' and select it. Confirm pairing if prompted.

How long does the battery last?

The built-in battery provides up to 10 hours of playback at moderate volume. Actual battery life may vary depending on volume level and usage.

Can I use the speaker while charging?

Yes, you can use the speaker while it is connected to a power source via the Micro USB cable. However, it is recommended to charge fully before first use.

What should I do if the speaker doesn't connect?

Ensure the speaker is in pairing mode (indicator flashing). Check that Bluetooth is enabled on your device and try restarting both. If the problem persists, reset the speaker by holding the power button for 5 seconds.

Is the speaker waterproof?

No, this model is not waterproof. Avoid exposing it to rain, splashes, or submersion in water. Keep it away from moisture.

How do I adjust the volume?

Use the + and - buttons on the speaker to increase or decrease volume. You can also control volume from your connected device.

Can I play music from a TF card?

Yes, insert a TF card (microSD) into the slot and the speaker will automatically switch to card mode. Use the play/pause button to control playback.

What is the charging cable type?

The speaker comes with a Micro USB charging cable. Use a standard USB power adapter (5V/1A) for optimal charging.

How do I clean the speaker?

Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as they may damage the surface.

The speaker makes a crackling sound. What should I do?

Ensure the Bluetooth connection is stable and within range. Reduce volume if distortion occurs. If the issue continues, try re-pairing or resetting the speaker.

Introduction

The 'S.B.G' is a compact utility module intended for the interfacing of guitar effect pedals with your eurorack modular system.

It provides both attenuation and amplification of audio signals for level matching together with a crossfade control to conveniently adjust the wet/dry mix of a processed signal. The module also offers regulation of outgoing CV signals for safer use of pedal expression inputs.

Features

• Attenuation of outgoing modular audio signal sent to external effects.
• Amplification of returned audio signal to high modular signals (approx. 3db to 34db of gain)
• Clipping indication on over-amplification of returned signal.
• Manual cross fade between original 'dry' source signal and returned 'wet' signal.
• Regulation/conditioning of CV modulation signals intended for pedal expression inputs.
• Includes 'floating ring' cable for safe expression input connectivity.
• Reverse polarity protection.
• Skiff friendly
• Designed and Made in the UK.

Technical Specifications

• Supply: +/-12V
- Current Draw: \~30ma
- Size: 4 HP
• Depth: 22mm (including power header)

Pedal return signal

To correctly set levels;

• Set pedal output to fully wet (mix or blend etc to maximum setting) so the pedal output is fully saturated with its effect. This is important.
• Connect pedal to SBG as indicated in the above diagram. Use 1/4" to 1/8" jack adaptors if needed to connect to pedal.
• Turn DRY|WET knob fully CW.
• Starting with both the SEND and RETURN mini potentiometers at approx 9 o'clock adjust until a clean fully wet signal is heard:
• The SEND mini pot ATTENUATES (lowers) the signal sent to the pedal. If you hear small clicks or distortion in the returned signal you likely need to INCREASE the attenuation thus lower the outgoing signal by turning the knob CCW.
• The RETURN mini pot AMPLIFIES the return signal to modular levels. If the red LED lights the signal is too loud and thus distorting. Reduce the signal level by turning CCW.
• Once you can hear a clean fully wet signal you are happy with adjust the DRY|WET knob to taste re-introducing the original dry signal. The WET|DRY knob mixes between the original non attenuated input signal and the amplified returned signal.

Pedal Expression Setup

The following diagram shows how to connect an the S.B.G to an expression input.

Passing a modular CV signal through the S.B.G will limit both its voltage level (as indicated) and its polarity (allowing only the positive part of the signal through). This conditions a modular CV signal to be more safely used with guitar pedal expression inputs. However for maximum safety:

• Always use the supplied ‘floating ring’ cable to connect to the pedals expression input.
• Always use the correct maximum voltage level for your pedal. Check with your pedal manufacturer if not sure.

- Only use with pedals which use cable tip for input (aka tip to potentiometer wiper or tip for return signal) not reference voltage. Most pedals are setup like this. If in doubt check with your pedal manufacturer.

ALM accepts no responsibility in damage done though mis-use!

Bonus Patch Ideas

DISTORTION - Patch the S.B.G in reverse; DRY|WET to Full CCW. Signal in to Return in, return out to send in, send out is distorted signal. Adjust RETURN knob till clip LED lights, then lower outgoing signal with SEND attenuator.

General signal amplification - With DRY|WET set to full CW use the right hand side return input and output can be used to amplify external signals to modular levels. This is also useful for amplifying Pamela firmware update audio files to expected levels.
