Crate BX25DLX [5/8] Bass amplifier

BASS AMPLIFIER

13. CD INPUT: Use these RCA jacks to connect the line level (or headphones) output of a CD player, tape

deck or rhythm machine to the amplifier. The signal level from these jacks is adjusted by the Master control

(#12). If the signal from the source connected to these jacks is too strong, use the output level control on the

source to adjust the signal to obtain the proper level for a good mix.

14. HEADPHONES: Use this jack to listen to the amplifier through a pair of stereo headphones. The internal

speaker is disconnected when the headphones jack is used.

CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to your hearing, do not use head-

phones for extended periods of time at extremely loud listening levels.

15. POWER: Use this switch to turn the amplifier on and off. The adjacent LED illuminates when the amplifi-

er is turned on.

16. ELECTRONIC TUNER (top panel): This active

electronic tuner is on whenever the amplifier is turned

on, allowing you constant, “real-time” tuning. The tuner

is fully chromatic – use the flat and sharp indicators

until the LED between them illuminates, indicating

proper tuning.

17. AC LINE CORD (rear panel, not shown): The grounded power cord should only be plugged into a

grounded power outlet that meets all applicable electrical codes and is compatible with the voltage, power, and

frequency requirements stated on the rear panel. Do not attempt to defeat the safety ground connection.

18. FOOTSWITCH (rear panel, not shown): Connect a two-button footswitch (such as the Crate CFP-2)

here for remote control of the channel selection/“blend” (see #5”) and octave on/off. (When the Channel Switch

[#5] is depressed, the footswitch switches between the Clean/B channel and the Distortion/A channel; when

the switch is in the out position, the Clean/B channel is always active, and the footswitch turns the Distortion/A

channel on and off, allowing you a blend of both channels.)

19. EXTERNAL SPEAKER (rear panel, not shown): Use this jack to connect the amplifier to an external

speaker cabinet (BX25DLX = 4Ω minimum, BX50DLX = 8Ω minimum). The internal speaker is disconnected

when the external speaker jack is used.
