- If possible, use a balanced XLR cable instead of an unbalanced 1/4-inch cable.
- Make sure the amplifier is turned off before connecting the ukulele.
- Start with the amplifier's volume turned all the way down.
- Gradually increase the volume until you reach a comfortable level.
- Experiment with the amplifier's EQ settings to find the best sound for your ukulele.
- If you are using a preamplifier, be sure to adjust the input and output levels correctly.
