DC Power Jack Connect the specified HARMAN power supply (sold separately) to this jack. Be sure to use the proper power supply for your area’s mains line voltage. See 'Cabinet Model Descriptions' on page 10 for power supply model information. The CabDryVR can only be powered using the external power supply. 3.
4. CAB TYPE B Knob Selects the cabinet type for CAB B.
10. INPUT B Jack Connect a second input to this jack for stereo or dual operation. When a connection is made to this jack, INPUT A is fed through CAB A and INPUT B is fed through CAB B. These are passed separately to OUTPUTS A and B to keep separation between channels. 11. OUTPUT A Jack Connect this output to a single mixer channel or single input of an audio interface. If running long cable distances, more than approximately 25', a DI box should be used for best signal performance.

Turn down the input gain or volume of the device that you are connecting the CabDryVR's outputs to (e.g., mixer, audio interface, DI box, etc. ). 2. Set the LEVEL knobs on the CabDryVR to 12 o'clock. 3. Make all audio connections to the CabDryVR as shown in 'Connection Diagrams' on page 7. It is recommended to place any preamp or distortion effect before the CabDryVR inputs.
