5. Fan- The fan provides vital cooling to your Model 5000/7000 . Make sure
that it is kept free of all obstructions and that cool, fresh air is accessible at all
times. Also, try to ensure that the Model 5000/7000 is used in a dust-free
environment.
6. Effect Send jack - Use this 1/4� unbalanced jack to send low impedance
(600 ohm) signal to a professional outboard effects processor such as a reverb,
echo, chorus, flanger, or harmonizer device.* Output level is approximately 0 dB
to +4 dB and is post-EQ and post-compression but unaffected by the setting of
the Master Volume control. You can also use the Effect Send jack to route sig-
nal to an external mixing console or amplifier with an input sensitivity of +4 dB.
7. Effect Return jack- Use this 1/4� unbalanced jack to return low impedance
(600 ohm) signal from a professional outboard effects processor.*
8. Bi-Amp switch- When out (the OOn� position), the crossover circuitry is
active and the top two speaker output jacks (labeled OHigh Frequency�) send
only frequencies above the Crossover Frequency setting, while the bottom two
speaker output jacks (labeled OLow Frequency�) send only frequencies below the
Crossover Frequency setting (for more information, see page 4). When pressed
in (the OMono� position), the crossover circuitry is disabled and full range audio is
sent to all four speaker outputs.
9. Direct Out Post/Pre switch- When pressed in (the OPre� position), signal is
routed to the Direct Out jack prior to the ten-band graphic equalizer (but after the
compression circuitry and Contour controls). When out (the OPost� position),
signal is routed to the Direct Out jack after all compression and EQ circuitry
(both ten-band graphic and Contour).** Use the OPre� position when you want
the console engineer to have control over equalizing your bass signal; use the
OPost� position when you want to use the front panel ten-band graphic equalizer
to equalize your bass signal before sending it to the console.
10. Direct Out Normal/Ground Lift switch- When pressed in (the OGnd. Lift�
position), pin 1 is removed from the chassis. This should be used only when a
ground loop hum or buzz is heard; otherwise, leave it in the out (ONormal�)
position.
11. Direct Out jack- Use this electronically balanced XLR jack to route signal
from the Model 5000/7000 to a professional mixing console or as a tap to a main
PA system via a mic input on the console. The signal output from this jack is low
impedance (600 ohm) with an output level of approximately -30 to -20 dB. You
can also use the Direct Out jack to route signal to an external amplifier with a
-10 dB input sensitivity.
* In-line effects (such as footpedals) intended for low signal levels should be
placed between the bass and the amplifier Input and not connected with the
Effect Send and Return jacks.
** Note that the settings of the ten-band graphic equalizer will affect a OPost�
Direct Out signal regardless of the position of the front panel In/Out switch.
