2. การตั้งค่า

Proper setup ensures optimal performance and sound quality from your Torpedo C.A.B. M+.

2.1. การเชื่อมต่อไฟฟ้า

Connect the included 12VDC/200mA power supply to the 'POWER' input on the rear of the unit. Ensure the power supply matches the specified voltagและข้อกำหนดปัจจุบัน

2.2. การเชื่อมต่อเสียง

The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ offers various input and output options for different setups:

• GTR / AMP ใน: This input accepts signals from your guitar, pedalboard, or the speaker output of an amplifier. If connecting from an amplifier's speaker output, ensure a speaker cabinet is always connected to the amplifier's speaker output to prevent damage to the ampชีวิต.
• ลำโพงออก: If using the 'GTR / AMP IN' from an amplifier's speaker output, connect your speaker cabinet to this output. This acts as a pass-through for your amplifier's signal to the cabinet while the C.A.B. M+ processes a parallel signal.
• IN LEVEL Switch: Adjust this switch (-24dB AMP, 0dB, +12dB GTR) to match the input signal level. Use -24dB AMP สำหรับ amplifier speaker outputs, 0dB for line-level signals, and +12dB GTR for direct guitar/bass signals.
• สายออก: A 1/4-inch unbalanced output for connecting to an audio interface, mixer, or other line-level devices.
• DI ออก: A balanced XLR output for direct connection to a mixer or audio interface, providing a clean, low-noise signal. Use the 'GND LIFT' switch to eliminate ground hum if present.
• ช่องรับสัญญาณเสียงเข้า: A 1/8-inch (3.5mm) stereo input for connecting external audio sources like a smartphone or music player for practice.
• เอาท์พุตหูฟัง: A 1/8-inch (3.5mm) stereo output for silent practice with headphones.
