[. . . ] It is an integral part of the audio chain and should be treated with special care and attention to detail. At Fender, we know what building quality musical instruments and sound reinforcement equipment is all about. In fact, many of the world's best sounding electric musical instruments and sound reinforcement equipment proudly wear the Fender name. Whether you need a simple box top powered mixer for your Saturday afternoon jam, or a professional full-size concert system, Fender has the sound reinforcement equipment to meet your needs. [. . . ] Moving the sliders up or down boosts or cuts the gain at the indicated frequency. PHANTOM POWER When this button is pressed, a +48V DC Phantom Power supply is activated, necessary for some condenser style microphones. Before plugging or unplugging any microphone, make sure the Phantom Power supply is off. +12dB +12dB OFF ON C PHANTOM POWER MAIN MON A EQ ASSIGN OdB OdB D POWER MAIN MON 12dB 63 125 250 500 1k 2k 4k 8k 16k 12dB E B TAPE/ EFFECTS REVERB GRAPHIC EQUALIZER PA 2 ASSIGN F 0 MAX 0 I MAX RETURN TO MONITOR RETURN TO MONITOR G 0 MAX 0 J MAX RETURN TO MAIN RETURN TO MAIN H 0 MAX 0 K MAX 0 L MAX 0 M MAX MAIN MONITOR EFFECTS REC OUT D. PA 2 ASSIGN - This button switches the second power amplifier between the main and the monitor bus. When this button is pressed, the second power amplifier is assigned to the monitor bus providing power to drive monitor speakers. When this button is in the Main position, the second power amplifier is assigned to the main bus providing additional power for front of house enclosures. When connecting the speakers to your SRM 6302 / 8302, connect one cabinet to the PA 1 Out jack and the other to the PA 2 Out jack. TAPE/EFFECTS RETURN TO MONITOR Adjusts the tape/effects signal level sent to the monitor mix from either the Effects In or Tape In jacks. Rotating the knob clockwise increases the tape/effects signal sent to the monitor mix. TAPE/EFFECTS RETURN TO MAIN - Adjusts the tape/effects signal level sent to the main mix from either the Effects In or Tape In jacks. Rotating the knob clockwise increases the tape/effects signal sent to the main mix. DO NOT ALTER THE AC PLUG. OFF 6 SPEAKER WIRING AND CONNECTIONS Parallel or series are the two basic ways which multiple speakers can be connected to a single power amplifier. When speakers are connected in parallel, their combined impedance decreases. For speakers wired in series the opposite is true, their combined impedance increases. Also, when speakers are wired in series, higher impedance speakers in the series draw more power from the amplifier than do speakers in the series with lower impedances. At Fender ®, we recommend connecting multiple speakers in parallel for several reasons. Second, because in a series connection one speaker affects the output of the other speakers, unpredictable frequency response is a concern. Third, most speaker cabinets are already wired for parallel connections making parallel connections the most common wiring method. When using your SRM 6302 / 8302, be sure that the minimum load connected to each channel is 4 ohms. Below are two charts demonstrating how to calculate both parallel and series impedance.

Well made and carefully maintained cables are essential to the reliability of the entire sound system. [. . . ] If after checking all of the above the SRM 6302 / 8302 is still not performing correctly, consult your authorized Fender Service Center. 9 SIMPLE SRM SETUP WITH MONITORS 1. Connect a microphone to a Mic input jack and any keyboard or other instrument to a Line input jack. Next, connect speaker cords from the PA 1 Out jacks to the main speakers and from the PA 2 Out jacks to the monitor speakers. 3. The level control in each channel strip adjusts the amount of signal sent to the main bus where all channel signals are summed. [. . . ]
