User manual AER COMPACT 60 2

[. . . ] Use your amp in a safe place where nobody can step on cables or trip over and damage them. Pay attention to an unhindered air circulation around the amp, never obstruct the air vents or grilles. Always pull the mains plug before cleaning your amp. Avoid the use of detergents and do not let any liquids seep into the unit. [. . . ] (Tip = internal Effect, Ring = external Effect on/off ). Balanced preamp output, pre master, post EQ, with return and effects. XLR socket power on Combined power switch with fuse holder and IEC mains socket 4 4. Operation Summary · Cabling and startup Check if your local mains voltage (e. g. 120 V in the USA, 230 V in Europe) complies with the required operating voltage for your amplifier. The proper mains voltage is printed on the rating plate on the rear panel of the unit, e. g. Please take care that the master, return and all gain controls are set to zero (left stop) and all other controls to their center positions. The pushbuttons should be switched off (not pressed). Then make all the necessary cable connections (mains, instrument etc. ). Now you may turn on your amplifier with the power on switch located on the rear. The green power control LED will indicate operational readiness. · Level adjustment Using the gain controls, high/low and line/mic switches you can adapt the amplifier to your signal sources (guitar pickups, microphone etc. ) to achieve the best possible signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). First adjust the line/mic switch according to your signal source: mic is suitable for microphones, line for pickups and other signal sources. Turn the gain control clockwise until the red clip indicator flashes momentarily when playing with a strong attack. Now lower the gain control (and also the instrument`s volume control) again slightly to get some headroom for an undistorted reproduction. The clip control LED should now only rarely flash. In case you find the level setting difficult because the input signal is too strong, press the high/low switch as well. If the input signal is too weak, the gain control must be increased accordingly. With signal sources with a sufficient input signal strength the gain control should be adjusted between the ` 9:00 and 11:00 o`clock` position. Finally set the desired overall volume level with the master control. · Equalization The three-band equalizer with individual bass, middle and treble control of your Compact 602 has been designed in such a way that it both complies with the special requirements of acoustic instruments and also with the more general demands of other sources. The colour switch activates a midrange contour filter which is especially useful for picking techniques.
