7. High EQ control - This shelving control provides approximately 15 db of cut or
boost at 5 kHz. When the knob is at the 12 o'clock ("0") position, there is no boost or
attenuation (that is, flat response). As it is turned clockwise from the "0" position, the
frequency area is boosted; as it is turned counterclockwise from the "0" position, the
frequency area is attenuated. For more information, see the "About Equalization" sec-
tion on page 11 in this manual.
8. Direct output - This standard male XLR connector provides a miclevel pre-EQ (and
pre-Volume) balanced low-impedance output from the HS1200. You'll usually use
this to connect the HS1200 signal to a Direct Injection (DI) box or to an XLR mic input
when interfacing with external sound reinforcement or recording mixing consoles.
The signal from this output adds approximately 6 dB of gain to the input level.
9. Headphones jack - Connect any standard stereo headphone (600 ohms or less) to
this standard 1/4" stereo jack. When a plug is inserted into the headphone jack, the
HS1200 speaker output is muted, enabling you to use the unit as a practice ampli-
fier. The level of the signal sent to the headphones is determined by the setting of
the Volume knob—when set to the point where a connected speaker would clip, the
headphones will clip.
10. Power switch - Use this to power the HS1200 on or off.
11. Power LED - Lights whenever the HS1200 is powered on.
WARNING: Because the HS1200 is capable of generating extremely high headphone
signal levels,always start with the Volume knob at minimum and then slowly turn it
up. In particular, a clicking sound is an indication of distortion and possible damage
to the headphones (and/or your hearing!); don't let things get to that point!
