Safety instructions
CAUTION!
Possible hearing damage
The device can produce volume levels that may cause temporary or permanent hearing impairment. Over an extended period of time, even levels that seem to be uncritical can cause hearing damage.
Decrease the volume level immediately if you experience ringing in your ears or hearing impairment. If this is not possible, keep a greater distance or use suffi‐ cient ear protectors.
NOTICE!
Risk of fire
Do not cover the device nor any ventilation slots. Do not place the device near any direct heat source. Keep the device away from naked flames.

Operating conditions
This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage, never expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid direct sunlight, heavy dirt, and strong vibrations.
NOTICE!
Power supply
Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and possibly injure the user.
Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

Installation and starting up
4 Installation and starting up
Unpack and carefully check that there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep the equipment packaging. To fully protect the device against vibration, dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively.
Establish all connections as long as the unit is switched off. Use the shortest possible highquality cables for all connections.
NOTICE!
Possible property damage by magnetic fields
Loudspeakers produce a static magnetic field. Therefore, maintain an appropriate distance to devices that can be adversely affected or damaged by an external magnetic field.

Installation of ASIO driver
Installation and starting up
ASIO (Audio Stream Input / Output) is an interface standard developed by Steinberg Media
Technologies GmbH, that allows addressing the multi-channel capabilities of the computer sound card and achieving very low latency.
To use the device with your computer, you must install the ASIO driver from the supplied CD first. To do this, insert the CD in your computer's CD drive, start ‘TableAmp_2.9.52’ and follow the instructions on the screen.

3 48V
Phantom power switch with indicator. When you press this switch, +48 V phantom power for the supply of con‐ denser microphones is applied to the XLR socket. If you connect devices that do not require phantom power, the phantom power must be turned off. Otherwise, the device may be damaged. With phantom power enabled, the LED lights up red, otherwise it goes out. Observe the notes in the operating instructions of the connected microphone.
4, 5 Volume controls GUITAR and MIC
Separate volume controls for instrument and microphone input level.
4, 5 Pull Direct Monitor (pull switch for USB bypass)
The table amp can operate as a standalone device without being connected to a computer. Pull out the volume knob to activate the direct mode. Then, the input signal is not output to the PC, but directly to the speakers. A device con‐ nected to the USB interface can be used simultaneously for playing music or singing (e.g. background).

Introduction
This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equip‐ ment in such a way that a perfect sound experience is ensured.
Please note these advices, because especially in ‘Sound & Light’ caution is indicated: Even if a plug fits into the socket, an incorrect connection may result in a destroyed power amp, a short circuit or ‘just’ in poor transmission quality!
Balanced and unbalanced trans‐ mission
Unbalanced transmission is mainly used in semi-professional environment and in hifi use.
Instrument cables with two conductors (one core plus shielding) are typical representatives of the unbalanced transmission. One conductor is ground and shielding while the signal is trans‐ mitted through the core.
Unbalanced transmission is susceptible to electromagnetic interference, especially at low levels, such as microphone signals and when using long cables.
In a professional environment, therefore, the balanced transmission is preferred, because this enables an undisturbed transmission of signals over long distances. In addition to the conduc‐ tors ‘Ground’ and ‘Signal’, in a balanced transmission a second core is added. This also transfers the signal, but phase-shifted by 180°.

Plug and connection assignment
Since the interference affects both cores equally, by subtracting the phase-shifted signals, the interfering signal is completely neutralized. The result is a pure signal without any noise inter‐ ference.
