Front Panel Facilities MAG300 MAG600 Electric Blue MAG300, MAG600 and Electric Blue amplifiers share the same front panel facilities. INPUTS - There are two choices of instrument input, these are marked PASSIVE and ACTIVE. The PASSIVE input is high sensitivity and high impedance to suit PASSIVE bass instruments. The ACTIVE input is much lower sensitivity and impedance to accurately match the signal from ACTIVE bass instruments i.e. those with a built in battery powered pre-amp.
EQUALISATION - This consists of BASS, MIDDLE and TREBLE controls with two more rotary controls placed in-between. This can be used in a number of ways: Firstly as a very simple Bass, Middle and Treble tone control section as found on older traditional amplifiers. This is done by leaving the 340Hz and 1.6kHz controls set in their centre positions and using only the BASS, MIDDLE and TREBLE controls to alter the overall tone. Secondly, If more control is required then the 340Hz and 1.
