About this Manual:
This manual is the compilation of many hours of discussions with engineers, musicians,
experts in the field of sound reproduction as well as novices, along with “hands-on” usage and
training. While we strive to provide as comprehensive and informative a manual as possible,
we realize we cannot convey every application imaginable or answer every possible question.
We have endeavored to cover as much as is practical in this owner’s manual and have provid-
ed suggested connection diagrams for you to use as a starting point for your application. Your
Crate Pro Audio dealer can assist you with additional information, or you can visit us on our
