Before you connect the KLOTZ DX10 with your equipment, set the volume
of your instruments and amplifiers and your mixer faders to “0” or “-∞”.
This prevents that notorious “pop” when you plug in your instrument, as
well as protecting your ears – and your PA system.
1. Plug your instrument into “Input”.
2. Connect to the amplifier using “Thru”. If you are working with a line
signal such as a keyboard signal, the signal can be fed to a sub-mixer,
recording unit or active monitor from here.
3. Connect “Balanced Out” to a microphone input (i.e. mic level) on the
mixer.
4. Now you can restore your instrument volume controls and mixer faders
to their original level. If necessary, eliminate any hum by setting
“Lift/Gnd” (ground lift switch).
5. If the signal is distorted although your volume and mixer level
settings are correct, set the input sensitivity to “- 20 dB” using the
pad switch. You may need to adjust the mixer volume if you do this.
