• Turn Bass/Filters Knob to select Line out
Pre-Out ó Tuner
Note: If Tuner is selected, this output will not be muted when the B|AMP’S Mute function is
engaged, allowing music signal to pass to a user supplied tuner during system muting. If Pre-
Out is selected, this output will be muted along with the B|AMP’s Main and DI outputs.
Screen 7 – Speaker Impedance Select
This menu allows you to condition your B
|
AMP to be safely used with various speaker loads. It
can select between 4/8-Ohm, 2.67-Ohm and 2-Ohm loads. The 4/8-Ohm setting is the
default setting and should be used for both 4-Ohm and 8-ohm speaker loads.
**Warning!
Selecting an impedance higher than the one plugged into the B
|
AMP can allow
the amp to enter protect mode, reducing the output level of the amp or muting the output all
together until the underlying condition is rectified.
ð
Conversely, selecting an impedance lower than the one plugged into the B
|
AMP will
limit you from utilizing the B|AMP’s full power capabilities.
Be sure to calculate your speaker impedances properly!
4-Ohm = 1 x 4-Ohm or 2 x 8-Ohm;
2.67-Ohm = 1 x 8-Ohm + 1 x 4-Ohm or 3 x 8-Ohm;
2-Ohm = 2 x 4-Ohm or 4 x 8-Ohm
• Turn Bass/Filters knob to select desired Impedance

When 2-Ohm operation is selected, the fan is automatically engaged.
