QUICK SETUP / CONNECTION DIAGRAM

Use the kickstand on the amplifier's rear panel to support the unit at an ideal monitoring angle. See next page.

*Note: Any items not mentioned under Box Contents are not included.

KICKSTAND

Use the kickstand on the amplifier's rear panel to support the unit at an ideal monitoring angle.

TOP PANEL

1. POWER SWITCH - Turns the amplifier on/off. Make sure the MAIN VOL and HEADPHONES VOLUME knobs are set to "zero" before turning it on. The LED above this switch illuminates when the amplifier is on.
2. HEADPHONES OUTPUT - Connect your 1/4" stereo headphones here.
3. HEADPHONES VOLUME - Turn this knob to adjust the level of the HEADPHONE OUTPUT.
4. MAIN VOL - Turn this knob to adjust the amplifier's main volume.
5. CHANNEL LEVEL - Turn this knob to adjust the level of the corresponding channel.
6. CHANNEL HIGH EQ - Turn this knob to adjust the level of the channel's high frequencies (treble).
7. CHANNEL LOW EQ - Turn this knob to adjust the level of the channel's low frequencies (bass).
8. CHANNEL FX - Turn this knob to adjust how much of the currently selected effect is applied to the channel.
9. EFFECT PRESETS - Turn this knob to select an effect.
10. EFFECT VARIATIONS - Turn this knob to select different variations of the selected effect.
11. FX LEVEL - Turn this knob to adjust how much of the currently selected effect is applied to the entire mix.

REAR PANEL

1. POWER INPUT - Connect the included power cable to this input and connect the other end of the cable to a power source. Make sure the top panel's POWER SWITCH is set to "off" when plugging and unplugging the cable.
2. COOLING FAN - Keep the area in front of this vent clear from obstructions. The fan behind the vent cools the amplifier, preventing overheating.
3. MIX OUT - Use standard balanced XLR cables or balanced 1/4'' mono TRS cables to connect these outputs to the inputs of your active loudspeakers.
4. SUB OUT - Use a standard balanced 1/4'' mono TRS cable to connect this output to the input of an optional powered subwoofer.
5. LINK OUT - Use a standard unbalanced 1/4'' stereo TRS cable to connect this output to the

LINK IN of an optional second Kick amplifier (sold separately). When using this output, this amplifier will be the "master"; it controls the audio, volume, etc. sent to the "slave" amplifier connected to this output (each amplifier will output the same signal in parallel). Alternatively, you may use a 1/4" stereo TRS splitter cable to connect this output to two separate loudspeakers (left and right), two channels (left and right) of an external mixer, etc.
6. LINK IN - Use a standard unbalanced 1/4 stereo TRS cable to connect this input to the LINK OUT of an optional second Kick amplifier (sold separately). When using this input, this amplifier will be the "slave"; its levels will be controlled by the "master" amplifier connected to this input (each amplifier will output a summed mono signal).
7. MIC IN - Use a standard XLR cable to connect a microphone to this input.
8. LINE IN - Use standard 1/4" TRS cables to connect line-level instruments or sound sources to these inputs. When connecting a mono sound source, use only the "L/MONO" input.
9. AUX IN - Use a standard stereo RCA cable to connect a line-level sound source to these inputs.
10. FOOT SW - You can connect a standard 1/4" TRS latching footswitch (sold separately) to this input. A connected footswitch will allow you to activate/deactivate the amplifier's built-in effects processor.
11. GROUND SWITCH - Depressing this switch grounds the amplifier, which can reduce hum or noise.
