Specs
Controls
- Gain
- This control adjusts the input level of the signal reaching the preamp
- Bass
- Use to adjust the low frequency level of the amplifier. The low frequency output is flat at the center position.
- Mid
- Use to adjust the midrange frequency level of the amplifier. The midrange frequency output is flat at the center position. Rotate the control counter-clockwise for a “contoured” sound (more distant, less midrange output), or clockwise for a sound that really cuts through
- Treble
- Use to adjust the high frequency level of the amplifier. The high frequency output is flat at the center position.
- Volume
- Use to control the overall output level. It affects the Speaker Outputs and the Preamp Output.
- Frequency
- This control allows you to select the center frequency for the Midrange control, giving you a choice of five frequencies for the midrange. The numbers correspond to the following center frequencies: 1=200 Hz, 2=400 Hz, 3=800 Hz, 4=1.6 kHz, 5=3 kHz
Toggle switches
- Ultra HI
- This switch, when engaged, enhances the amount of high frequency output by +5 dB @ 8 kHz
- Ultra Lo
- This switch, when engaged, emphasizes the lows by +2 dB at 50 Hz and –10 dB at 500Hz
- Pre/Post EQ
- Thesignalatthe Preamp Out can be set to either Pre-EQ or Post-EQ with this switch. With the switch in the IN position, the signal at the preamp out is Pre-EQ. This is a direct output not affected by any EQ or Boost settings. With the switch in the OUT position, the signal is Post-EQ and is controlled and modified by the tone controls.
- Ground Lift
- When this switch is engaged, it connects the ground connection to help reduce residual hum and buzz sometimes picked up in the signal cables.
Outputs
- Speaker output
- This mono, 1/4" TS Output jack supplies speaker-level power to the speaker cabinet. The rated power output is 20 Watts RMS into 4 or 8 Ω. Make sure the total speaker impedance load is 4 Ω or greater. For example, you could connect: • Two 16 Ω speakers in parallel = 8 Ω • Two 8 Ω speakers in parallel = 4 Ω
- Preamp Balanced Line Out
- This signal may be used to feed an external power amplifier, mixing console, interface, or house PA system.
- Transformer Balanced Line Out
- This signal may be used to feed an external power amplifier, mixing console, interface, or house PA system.
- 0 dB and -15 dB Inputs
- The signal output from an active instrument may be connected to this 1/4" Input by means of a shielded instrument cable
