IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply: Use of Batteries

• When installing or replacing batteries, always turn off the power on this unit and disconnect any other devices you may have connected. This way, you can prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
• Batteries are supplied with the unit. The life of these batteries may be limited, however, since their primary purpose was to enable testing.
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
• The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the unit's power consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to use batteries, please use the alkaline type.

Placement

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.
• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface. You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

Maintenance

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Additional Precautions

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit's buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable's internal elements.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

Control panel

MIC

This is a dedicated microphone input. It can be used simultaneously with KEYBOARD/ INSTRUMENT/ GUITAR and AUX.

1. VOLUME Knob

Adjusts the microphones volume.

* Howling could be produced depending on the location of microphones relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:

1. Changing the orientation of the microphone(s).
2. Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance from speakers.
3. Lowering volume levels.

KEYBOARD/INSTRUMENT/GUITAR

This accommodates any type of input, including a keyboard or other electronic musical instrument, a recorder or audio device, or an acoustic guitar or electric guitar.

2. Type Switch

Set this to the type of device that you've connected to the KEYBOARD/ INST jack.

A-GUITAR

Select this if you've connected an acoustic guitar that has a pickup

Use the L/ MONO GUITAR jack to make connections. The R jack cannot be used.

KEYBOARD/INSTRUMENT

(stereo input is supported)

Select this if you've connected an instrument such as a keyboard or a guitar multi-effects device. You can choose either a NORMAL or FAT tone.

NORMAL

This provides flat tonal response.

FAT

This provides a powerful tone with boosted midrange.

AUDIO (stereo input is supported)

Select this if you've connected an audio device, a recorder, or a mixer. This is ideal for monitoring the mixed sound.

E-GUITAR

Select this if you've connected an electric guitar. Three types of sound are available: CLEAN, OVERDRIVE, and DIST (distortion). Use the L/ MONO GUITAR jack to make the connection. The R jack cannot be used.

CLEAN

This provides a bright, clear sound.

OVERDRIVE

Natural distortion sound similar to that obtained by turning an amp's volume up completely.

DIST (DISTORTION)

Harder distortion than OVERDRIVE.

3. VOLUME Knob

This adjusts the volume of the device connected to the Keyboard/Instrument/Guitar input jack(s).

4. CHORUS Switch

Pressing the CHORUS switch will turn on the chorus effect.

The MOBILE CUBE's chorus effect is a spatially synthesized chorus that takes advantage of stereo playback to generate an expansive sensation.

What's spatially synthesized chorus

With spatially synthesized chorus, a method available only in stereo, the chorus effect is created by taking the sound from the right speaker (from which the effect sound is output), and the sound from the left speaker (which outputs the direct sound), and then mixing them in the actual space. This creates a greater lateral spread than that produced when the sounds are mixed electronically, providing a more natural sense of breadth.

AUX

5. CENTER CANCEL Switch

Pressing the CENTER CANCEL switch will eliminate sounds (such as vocals or guitar solos) located in the center of the stereo source from the music CD or other device connected to AUX IN. This is convenient when you want to use the source for karaoke or for guitar practice.

* For some stereo sources, it may not be possible to obtain a sufficient cancellation effect.

TONE and DELAY/REVERB

* The effect applies only to the device connected to MIC and to the KEYBOARD/INSTRUMENT/GUITAR input jacks.

6. TONE Knob

This adjusts the tone. Turn the knob clockwise for a brighter tone; to get a milder tone, turn the knob counterclockwise.

7. DELAY/REVERB Knob

Turn this knob to DELAY or REVERB to switch to that effect. Turn the knob to adjust the amount of effect applied.

DELAY

Turn the knob to change the time and amount of delay effects.

What's DELAY

A delay is a little bit like an echo, and by repeating the original sound after it is played, this effect can add a sense of spaciousness and depth to the sound. In addition, when this effect is applied to instruments that play melodies, it can make their performance sound smoother or can add an extra bounce to their rhythm.

REVERB (Stereo REVERB)

Spacious-sounding stereo reverb is provided. Turn the knob to adjust the reverb level.

What's REVERB

By adding reverberation to a sound, this effect imbues the sound with a sense of spaciousness and depth.

8. Power Indicator

This indicator lights when the unit is turned on.

* When operating on battery power only, the unit's indicator will become dim during play when battery power gets too low.
* Sounds may distort easily or may cut off when played at high volume as the battery power begins to fade, but this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. In such instances, either replace the batteries or use the AC adaptor (sold separately).
