User manual ROLAND MICRO CUBE RX

[. . . ] Equipped with four newly developed 10-cm (4-inch) speakers, this compact 5-watt stereo power amp (2. Combined with the three-band equalizer, enables finely textured sound creation. COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling) is proprietary Roland modeling technology, which analyzes the way in which sound is affected by elements such as electronic circuitry, structure, and materials, and combines these elements to reconstruct the desired sound. The amp is equipped with an EFX function that allows you to use four types of effects. [. . . ] Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference. â· This device may interfere with radio and television reception. â· Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off. â· Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are used while their light source is very close to the unit (such as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the unit for extended periods of time. Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit's buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. â· When connecting/disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself--never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable's internal elements. â· To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night). â· When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. To avoid sudden, high-volume sound, always make sure to have the volume level turned down before switching on power. Even with the volume all the way down, you may still hear some sound when the power is switched on and off, but this is normal, and does not indicate a malfunction. By anchoring the AC adaptor cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration, you can prevent situations such as the adaptor becoming unplugged or unreasonable pressure being exerted on the AC adaptor jack. * To avoid faulty operation or damage to the speakers, you should disconnect the unit from other devices and switch off its power when connecting the AC adaptor. Connect the supplied power cord to the AC adaptor, and plug it into an AC outlet. If the strap is loose, and you use it that way when carrying the MICRO CUBE RX, the amp could be dropped, possibly resulting in damage or injury. Do not use this strap Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator (see illustration) faces upwards. * The indicator will light when you plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet. [. . . ] A powerful low end is a characteristic of the sound emitted by the surfaces Of the cabinet, so you can turn up the equalizer knobs, especially the BASS knob, to produce a sound with great punch. Turning down the GAIN knob is also a perfect way to get a sharp crunch sound. Turn down the BASS knob a little and turn up the GAIN knob to obtain a smooth crunch sound. This is due to sound boosted by the equalizer being distorted by the GAIN knob. [. . . ]
