USING THE REACTOR FR
The Reactor FR is easy to use and offers a range of controls to fit a great
range of musical performance requirements. NOTE: Before connecting the
Reactor FR, it is advised that you should lower the output level of your
preamp, processor, or other source device.
1. Connect the AC Cable supplied with your Reactor FR to the unit’s
AC Power Input located on the back panel of the Reactor.
2. Using a high-quality cable, connect a signal source to either the
Unbalanced (¼”) Input or the Balanced (XLR) Input.
3. Turn the Power Switch to ON (it should light up).
4. IMPORTANT: Wait at least 30-60 seconds for the amplifier to
warm up, then set the Standby Switch to ON. The Reactor FR is
now ready to be played.
5. Increase the level of your instrument or processor and set the
Master Level of the Reactor FR to an appropriate level. Adjust
the tweeter level to taste.
REMINDER: The Balanced XLR Thru is an output, designed to pass the
Balanced signal from the XLR input through to a second amplifier, mixer,
recording console or other device. It is not wired to the unbalanced ¼“ in.
WHO’S DRIVING? Whether you like to run your source signal “Hot” and
lower the master volume of the Reactor FR, or crank the Reactor and use
the upstream to set listening level is up to you. Either way, you will find
that the Reactor FR operates quietly and produces a pleasing, high
quality listening experience.
POSITION & PLACEMENT As with any audio system the floor, walls, and
other characteristics of your performance space will shape the sound of
the Reactor FR. You can increase openness and clarity by elevating the
Reactor FR from several inches to several feet above the floor using
casters, blocks, or an amp stand.
