This output monitors Channels 1 & 2 and the Aux input, so you can play along with pre-recorded music through the headphones. Aux Level Use this to control the level of the device you plug into the Aux Input. Note that the Aux channel is independent of the Mute switch, so you can play pre-recorded music on your breaks. If the Aux channel is unused, set the Aux level to off. Mute The Mute switch shuts off the signals from Channels 1 and 2 to the speakers and all the XLR outputs. The mute does not affect the Aux Channel, the Tuner Out or the effects sends. 7 Loudbox 100 TM Acoustic Instrument Amplifier Rear Panel 1. Tweeter Level Set the front panel controls flat and adjust the tweeter level to where it sounds best to you. Aux Input Plug in a line level stereo audio source such as a CD or MP3 player in this input. The 1/4 inch stereo (TRS) Aux Input mixes the signals to mono when amplified, but will retain the source's stereo image through the headphones jack. In this case you leave it to the soundperson or recording engineer to dial up your tone and effects from the console. This pre-EQ output is always ground isolated to prevent ground loop hum. 8 Owner's Manual Rear Panel Power Switch Lower the master volume or engage the Mute switch before you turn on the amp.
