Hughes & Kettner TRIAMP MK II - Handbuch (Seite 10)

Connecting signal processors:
• Connect the device's INPUT to the FX LOOP
SEND jack and its OUTPUT to the RETURN jack.
• Activate the FX LOOP via the FX ON button on
the front panel or the Stageboard.
• Adapt the FX loop level to the signal processor's
level, if necessary. Press the FX SEND LEVEL
button for effects devices like stomp boxes that
are designed for guitar signals. If the button
is not depressed, the signal level remains at
standard line level, appropriate for most
rack-mounted multi-effects processors.
• In parallel mode, use the LEVEL knob to set
the volume of the effect signal.
NOTE:
Some signal processors introduce phase cancel-
lations that are detrimental to the overall sound.
In this case, set the effects loop to FX SERIAL.
The effects loop now operates like a conventional
serial loop – in other words, you'll have to adjust
the balance of levels between the original and
processed signal at the processor.
TIP: If you choose not to connect a signal
processor or effects device to the FX loop, you
may connect another instrument or audio source.
When you use the RETURN circuit as a second
input channel in this way, the FX-MIX knob
becomes a balance control to determine
he relative volumes of the guitar signal and
the other sound source.
4.3 THE RED BOX ® DI OUT -
ALL-TUBE TONE TO THE MIXER
The balanced RED BOX ® DI OUT allows you to
connect TriAmp ® MK II's output signal directly to
a mixing console, for the smooth, rich sound of
a miked-up cabinet without the hassles of actually
using a microphone. The integrated RED BOX ®
circuitry is in-line with the speaker output for
optimum audio results, allowing the character
of the connected speaker to come through to
as great a degree as possible.
WARNING:
Never run the amp without a load (a connected
speaker cabinet), even in a recording situation.
Doing so risks serious damage to the amp's
all-tube output stage.
NOTE:
Speakers, in combination with a tube amp's
output transformer, may demonstrate microphonic
properties. If your amp's master setting is extreme-
ly low and the PA is very loud, you may encounter
feedback through the DI OUT circuit.
This effect does not occur at normal stage
volumes. However, we do recommend you use
the STANDBY switch rather than turning the MASTER
down to silence your amp during breaks. If this
feedback problem does occur at some point,
simply turn the amp's master volume up.
The speaker then loses the microphonic
properties and the feedback will stop.
