1. Input jack - Connect your bass guitar to the HS1200 here. This standard 1/4" unbal-
anced jack provides a wide range high impedance input and is specially designed to
handle a broad range of bass pickup signals up to 15 volts (allowing you to use any
kind of bass, including those models that contain active circuitry).
2. Volume control - This is the overall volume control. For best signal-to-noise ratio,
keep the output of your bass at or near maximum and adjust the HS1200 Volume to
the desired level.
3. Shape switch - When pressed in, the HS1200 activates a special equalization curve
that is designed to enhance the sound of your bass instrument. When out, Shape is
inactive. For more information, see the "Effect of the Shape Control" section on page
14 in this manual.
4. Shape control - When the Shape switch (see #3 above) is pressed in, this control is
active. It applies a 20 dB filter to the specified frequency area so that you can custom-
ize the effect of the Shape curve to best complement your particular bass instrument.
Moving the Shape control clockwise causes the notch filter to be applied to higher fre-
quencies while moving it counterclockwise causes it to be applied to lower frequen-
cies. At the fully clockwise position, the filter is applied to the 1 kHz frequency area; at
the fully counterclockwise position, the filter is applied to the 80 Hz frequency area.
For more information, see the "Effect of the Shape Control" section on page 14 in this
manual.
5. Low EQ control - This control provides approximately 15 db of cut or boost at 100
Hz, with a peak (bell) curve. When the knob is at the 12 o'clock ("0") position, there
is no boost or attenuation (that is, flat response). As it is turned clockwise from the
"0" position, the frequency area is boosted; as it is turned counterclockwise from the
"0" position, the frequency area is attenuated. For more information, see the "About
Equalization" section on page 11 in this manual.
6. Mid EQ control - This control provides approximately 15 db of cut or boost at 300
Hz, with a peak (bell) curve. When the knob is at the 12 o'clock ("0") position, there
is no boost or attenuation (that is, flat response). As it is turned clockwise from the
"0" position, the frequency area is boosted; as it is turned counterclockwise from the
"0" position, the frequency area is attenuated. For more information, see the "About
Equalization" section on page 11 in this manual.
