Note: Some UL3 cabinet rear panel connectors may be different from what is shown here. If any
questions, call your dealer or Epifani directly.
1. Tweeter Level control – Adjusts the amount of high frequency sound coming
from the tweeter.
2. Speaker Input/Output connectors – Connect your amplifier to the speaker cabinet
using a Speakon or 1/4” ‘phone’ or ‘TS’ terminated cable. These green colored connectors accept
either Speakon jack as a normal Speakon connector, or a 1/4” jack inserted at its center.
1. Connect the speaker cabinet using either of the Speakon combo connectors on the
rear panel. Make sure that you are using a high-quality "unshielded" speaker cable. NEVER
connect plus or minus to ground. If using a Speakon to 1/4” connection, be sure the amplifier is
OFF while plugging-in or unplugging a connection.
2. The two Input/Output connectors are wired in parallel, so you may plug into either
connector. Additionally, you may ‘daisy chain’ either connector to a second speaker cabient using
Speakon or 1/4” jacks. Take note of the rated impedance of each cabinet and be sure to stay
within your amplifier’s rated specifications.
1. After connecting the speaker cabinets, set the MASTER volume control on your
amplifier to the zero position and turn your amplifier on. This will prevent damage to your
speakers in the event of a product failure or faulty input signal.
2. Turn the volume controls on your instrument to their full or loudest positions.
3. Set your amplifier EQ controls (bass, mid, and treble) to zero (twelve o’clock position)
and begin turning up the volume on your amplifier to your desired levels.
4. When adjusting the EQ controls on your amplifier, the sound of your instrument can be
shaped in subtle or dynamic ways. On a high-quality amplifier like an Epifani, a little EQ goes a
long way. In fact, many sound engineers start with the EQ in the flat position and CUT
frequencies to achieve the desired sound. They then add gain to make up the loss of volume due
to the reduction in EQ. Cutting back is typically preferred to boosting. If you are dramatically
boosting all of your EQ settings, you might want to call your Epifani Dealer or us directly to
discuss your setup.
