SHOWBOX BATTERY POWERED ALL-IN-ONE PERFORMANCE RIG WITH BREAKAWAY MIX CONTROL
14
Micro SD Port
Not only is the ShowBox a great amp/loudspeaker with some pretty amazing features, but here you can
also record performances directly to a micro SD card! The micro SD slot is located to the right of the USB-C
and remote jacks, below the PA mode button, and above the channel 3 XLR input. You can’t miss it!
So what is recorded to a micro SD card? How about the whole enchilada?! We’re talkin’ a stereo mix of all inputs...
including Bluetooth and FX sends! If a micro SD card is available – and plugged into the micro SD port – the SD Record
LED on the breakaway mixer will illuminate green, indicating that it is ready for recording.
Formatting
– We know you’re an eager beaver, all psyched to start recording, but let’s take care of something very important
first: formatting the micro SD Card. First, get a micro SD Card; this could be a brand new one or one you’ve had for awhile
so long as it’s Class 10 or better.
micro SD Cards need to be Class 10 or better to ensure reliable operation. If using an older micro SD Card,
it’s a high possibility that some recordings will be dropped because the card is too slow. We are not in the business
of suggesting what micro SD Card to go with, but choosing one with an instantly recognizable, quality, trustworthy
name doesn’t hurt.
Some examples we’ve heard of:
• SanDisk
• PNY
• Lexar
• Samsung
• Kingston
Once a micro SD card has been selected, PLEASE format it before using it!
There is much more information about micro SD recording on page 30.
Front LED Button and LED
There are two horizontal LED bars located on the front grille of each ShowBox. They are centered,
one on top and one on bottom. These LEDs illuminate green when the front LED button is engaged.
Additionally, the switch’s LED will illuminate green. Disengage the switch if you do not want the front
panel LEDs to illuminate. We like to call this ‘stealth’ mode.
Feedback Eliminator Button and LED
The multi-band feedback eliminator hunts down offending feedback frequencies and applies up to eight notch
filters automatically to destroy feedback and maximize gain prior to feedback. This is a great tool for when
an engineer is not present.
• Off [Default] –
The feedback eliminator is not engaged. If filters have been applied, this setting will retain its current filter
settings if there are any, but they will not be engaged until it is turned back on.
• On –
When the automatic feedback eliminator is turned on, scanning occurs continuously. The eight filters will engage
when feedback is present. If feedback is not identified, it will continue to look for (and replace) those bands. If feedback
is identified on an existing filter, the notch will deepen to further destroy the offending feedback frequency. Pretty cool, huh?!
The LED will illuminate green when engaged.
