The balanced XLR out is wired to the AES standard with pin-1 ground,
pin-2 hot (+) and pin-3 cold (-). Use a standard balanced XLR cable to
connect to the microphone input of a mixing console. This lo-Z output can
drive balanced cables 100 meters (300’) without signal degradation or
appreciable noise. The ground LIFT helps eliminate hum and buzz caused
by ground loops. If you hear noise try pushing the ground LIFT switch
inward.

THE MUTE FOOTSWITCH AND TUNER OUT
The Bassbone OD is equipped with a MUTE footswitch and dedicated tuner
output that allows the artist to quietly tune on stage without disturbing the
audience or other band members. When the MUTE footswitch is depressed,
the bright red LED illuminates and all outputs are turned off except the tuner
out which remains active at all times.

The footswitch also serves another very important function. When switching
instruments on stage, instead of having to put your bass amp on standby
and then perform super-human hand signals to let the monitor and FOH
engineers know that you are about to unplug, you simply stomp on the MUTE
footswitch and go about your business. Quick, effi cient and professional.
