6. XLR Line Output
This is your conduit to the P. A. or recording console. Using an XLR mic cable or a shielded
patch cord with a female XLR connector on one end (balanced or unbalanced, e.g. a high
or low-impedance mic cable), connect the Line Out to the input of the mixer. Electronic
balancing circuitry minimizes the possibility of hum or noise when the Line Out is connected
to a mixer (even when the mixer does not have balanced inputs). Also, this output can be
made Pre-EQ or Post-EQ according to the selector button which is described below.
7. Pre-EQ / Post-EQ Selector Switch
The Pre-EQ / Post-EQ selector switch enables you configure the behavior of the Line Out
XLR jack.
• In the Pre-EQ setting, the Line Out signal comes directly from the input section
bypassing the Volume control, tone controls and EFX Send/Return circuitry. Use the
Pre-EQ setting in a recording or P. A. situation where the mixing engineer requires a
completely dry signal, as if it were a D.I. box (Direct from the Instrument).
• In the Post-EQ setting, the Line Out signal comes from the final preamp stage. The
Volume control, tone controls and any connected effects all affect the signal directly.
Use the Post-EQ setting when connecting the Line Out to the input of another amp
(perhaps for added stage coverage) or to a recording or P. A. mixer where a dry
signal is not required.
User Tip: For most club PA situations or for home recording, you would probably prefer the
Post-EQ setting.
8. EFX Send / EFX Return Jacks
The line-level signal at the EFX Send jack is post-fader and post-EQ (it is affected by the
Volume and all tone controls). The EFX Send would normally be connected to the input of
the effects processor with a shielded patch cord. When a phone plug is inserted to the EFX
Return jack, the signal goes directly to the DynaBass 100's internal power amp. Technically,
by inserting a ¼-inch phone plug into the EFX Return, you are disconnecting the internal
preamp signal going to the power amplifier stage. As a result, the power amp can only
receive signals routed through here (i.e. it isolates the power amp). Only use shielded patch
cords for all interconnections.
User Tip: You can "slave" your DynaBass 100 to another amp. As an example, if you wanted
to run two bass amps for a large gig, you can simply run a shielded patch cable from the
line output of the other amp (possibly another DynaBass 100) to the EFX Return of your
DynaBass 100.
Note: When used as a preamp for an external amplifier, the DynaBass 100 does not control
the volume and tone of the external amplifier.
9. Phones
When a headphone plug is inserted into the Phones jack, the built-in speaker is
disconnected. This permits silent practicing. The headphone jack must be used with stereo
headphones – do not use mono headphones as the output signal will be cancelled.
10. Power
The LED on the front panel will illuminate when the Power switch, on the rear panel is turned
to the On position.
