Tweeter Level Set the front panel controls flat and adjust the tweeter level to where it sounds best to you. Aux Input Plug in a line level stereo audio source such as a CD or MP3 player in this input. The 1/4 inch stereo (TRS) Aux Input mixes the signals to mono when amplified, but will retain the source's stereo image through the headphones jack. In this case you leave it to the soundperson or recording engineer to dial up your tone and effects from the console. This pre-EQ output is always ground isolated to prevent ground loop hum. 8 Owner's Manual Rear Panel Power Switch Lower the master volume or engage the Mute switch before you turn on the amp.
