FRONT

PANEL

DESCRIPTION

The

front

panel

contains

twenty-five

items

for

system

operation

and

observation.

These

items

are

broken

into

nine

groups

as

shown

in

the

illustration

below.

1.

INPUT:

Two

inputs

are

provided:

Input

1

—High

gain

Input

2

—Low

gain

The

high

gain

input

(INPUT

1)

should

be

used

for

most

instruments.

This

input

can

handle

as

much

as

3.5

volts

R.M.S.,

while

the

low

gain

input

(input

2)

accepts

7

volts

R.M.S.

without

audible

distortion.

For

both

cases

this

is

greater

than

any

active

bass

with

a

9

volt

battery

can

produce.

If

you

are

using

a

bass

with

dual

9

volt

batteries,

or

a

"hot"

passive

bass

it

might

be

wise

to

try

input

2.

For

the

rare

case

where

two

players

want

to

use

one

amplifier,

or

where

two

instruments

are

to

be

used

during

the

performance,

both

inputs

may

be

used.

In

this

mode

both

inputs

will

now

accept

7

volts

R.M.S.

2.

GAIN:

This

control

sets

the

gain

of

the

preamp

and

will

serve

as

an

adjustment

for

the

"loudness"

of

the

amplifier.

3.

ENHANCE:

HIGH

ENHANCE

provides

high

frequency.

boost.

LOW

ENHANCE

provides

low

frequency

boost,

while

eliminating

sub

-sonic

noises

below

40

Hz.

4.

EQUALIZATION:

11

band

graphic

equalizer

(40

Hz

to

10

kHz).

Each

slider

will

boost

or

cut

its

particular

frequency

15dB.

Experiment

with

each

slider

to

hear

the

effect

of

boost

and

cut

on

the

sound

of

your

instru-

ment.

The

EQUALIZER

is

most

effective

when

the

majority

of

the

sliders

are

left

in

the

"0"

position

and

selected

frequencies

are

changed.

Setting

all

sliders

up

or

all

sliders

down

does

not

cause

a

relative

change

in

the

sound

of

the

instrument,

but

rather

merely

causes

a

change

in

the

level.

5.

CROSSOVER:

STEREO

MODE

(button

out)

provides

the

same

signal

to

both

Speaker

Jacks.

BI

-AMP

MODE

(button

in)

activates

CROSSOVER.

In

the

BI

-AMP

MODE

the

Frequency

Control

will

adjust

the

point

where

the

split

between

high

and

low

takes

place.

The

Crossover

Balance

Control

adjusts

the

balance

between

the

high

and

low

frequencies.

Refer

to

the

operation

manual

for

your

speaker

enclosure

for

recommended

crossover

settings.

6.

LINE

OUT:

The

line

out

button

selects

line

feed

either

before

the

preamp

(pre)

or

after

the

preamp

and

multil-level

effects

loop

(post).

7.

VOLUME:

The

volume

control

sets

the

preamp

output

level.

It

should

be

left

fully

clockwise

if

possible,

so

that

preamp

clipping

will

not

occur.

The

volume

may

be

reduced

in

the

studio

where

super

low

noise

per-

formance

is

required.

Reducing

volume

will

hinder

the

performance

of

DELTACOMP.

8.

STATUS:

Amber

pilot

lamps

indicate

when

DELTACOMP

A

or

B

is

active.

Under

normal

playing

conditions

the

DELTACOMP

lights

will

be

active.

The

red

pilot

lamp

indicates

when

the

unit

is

on.

9.

POWER:

Turns

the

DUAL

BASS

400

on

or

off.
