Using this Peavey Trace Elliot 2x8 speaker cabinet is straightforward. First, connect your audio source to the dual paralleled Speakon/phono combo input jacks. You can easily use two cabinets together if you want a more powerful sound. Place the ELF amplifier on top of the cabinet in the built - in cradle for a stable setup. When moving the cabinet, use the recessed top rear handle. As for maintenance, keep the cabinet in a dry place to prevent damage to the drivers and the painted surface. Clean the heavy - duty metal grille regularly with a soft cloth to avoid dust buildup. Don't expose the cabinet to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this could affect its performance and lifespan.
