User manual FENDER REISSUE PAISLEY STRATOCASTER

[. . . ] The BXR 300R is designed to perform well with almost any high quality speaker system, but performs best when used with members of the FENDER BXR and HM series. Speakers in these series include the BXR-115 , with a single fifteen inch FENDER special design driver, BXR-215 with two fifteen inch FENDER special design drives, BXR-410 with four ten inch FENDER special design drivers or the BXR SPECTRUM, employing one eighteen inch and two ten inch FENDER special design drivers and a BI-AMP ready crossover network. WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTIONS The front panel contains all items necessary for system operation and observation. Please read this section of the manual carefully to make sure you understand all the operational features of your new Fender BXR 300. [. . . ] (A) 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. 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. (B) ENHANCE: HIGH ENHANCE provides high frequency boost. LOW ENHANCE provides low frequency boost, while eliminating sub-sonic noises below 40 Hz. (C) VOLUME: This control sets the gain of the preamp and serves as an adjustment for the "loudness" of the amplifier. (D) TREBLE: - adjusts the high frequency part of the spectrum. Turning the treble up will cause the sound to become "BRIGHT" or more "CRISP". (E) MID: - Can be used to add or subtract the frequency range set by MID FREQUENCY control. If you own a REISSUE PAISLEY STRATOCASTER, the internal 15 inch speaker will already be connected. Depress the two "ENHANCE" buttons and turn the VOLUME to zero (7 O'CLOCK) and the TREBLE, MID, MID FREQUENCY, and BASS to "0" (12:00 O'CLOCK), and DELTACOMPTM off. With your instrument connected, press the power rocker switch to "ON" The RED PILOT lamp will illuminate, and the fan in the rear panel will begin to rotate slowly. Advance the volume while playing a few notes on the bass. Experiment with the controls to become familiar with the features that are available to you. FIGURE 1 is a common connection favored by the bassist who wants extremely high level. it should be noted that two 15" speakers have 50% more cone area than one 18" speaker. FIGURE 2 is an example of two FENDER BXR 410 `s connected in parallel. FIGURE 3 shows a BXR 115 and a BXR 410 connected in parallel, which provides a well balanced wide range arrangement. FIGURE 4 illustrates one FENDER BXR SPECTRUM system operating in full range mode. With it's 18" woofer, the SPECTRUM is ideal for five string bass. PARALLEL SPEAKERS When speakers are connected in parallel, as in the example of FIGURE 1, 2, and 3 above, the impedance of two equal systems will halve. impedance of equal impedance systems will have a new impedance equal to the individual identical impedance divided by the number of systems. [. . . ] impedance of equal impedance systems will have a new impedance equal to the individual identical impedance divided by the number of systems. The minimum for the FENDER BXR 300 is 4 ohms, there is no maximum (if no speakers are connected, no harm will result). SETTING UP EXTERNAL SIGNAL PROCESSING External signal processors may be used as previously described. Devices used with the preamp out, power amp in may be set up as follows: Connect the "PREAMP OUT" to the input jack of the effects device, and the "POWER AMP IN" to the output jack of the effects device. Read the owner's manual for the device as required. [. . . ]
