OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Suggested Speaker Systems
– Your
speaker system, should be chosen to
accommodate the characteristics of your
amplifier and your predominant application.
If you will only be using one cabinet. It will
be at 8 Ohms as are all the CXC models.
If you are using two cabinets, they should
both be 8 Ohm models so their combined
impedance will be 4 ohms.
Headphone Jack as Line Driver – On
some occasions (such as high-volume or
outdoor situations) it may be desirable to
use the CXC-300/400 along with an
additional power amplifier and added
cabinets. A standard shielded instrument
cable may be used to connect from the
headphone jack of the CXC-300/400 to an
unbalanced input of a standard power
amplifier. This will provided a signal that is
post EQ and master volume controls,
allowing the entire system to be controlled
from the CXC Amplifier.
Using the CXC-300/400 With out
Speakers
This amplifier is designed to be used safely
with headphones only, without the loud
speaker plugged in. No harm will result from
using the amplifier in this fashion. This
allows the use of the unit for practice with
headphones and as a preamplifier with other
amplifiers.
MAINTENANCE
Your Eden amplifier has been designed to
require minimal routine maintenance.
Attention to the following areas will ensure
optimum performance of your amplifier.
Contact Point Cleaning – One of the
weakest links in most bass amplification
systems are the solderless connection
points where instruments, speaker cabinets,
effects, and other devices are connected to
the amplifier. (The most vulnerable of these
types of connection is the jack on your
instrument). In addition to contamination
from airborne pollutants, these points are
frequently assaulted by connectors that
have picked up debris from dirty stages,
cases, etc. These points should be cleaned
regularly with a cotton swab soaked in
denatured alcohol or a commercially
available de-oxidant. Frequent cleaning of
the plugs on your cords is also
recommended.
Dust Removal – You should periodically
inspect the ventilation openings on the and
sides of the unit to ensure that they have not
become blocked by accumulated dust.
Vacuum the openings to remove any dust
buildup.
Tube Replacement –This system does
not use tubes. The CXC amplifiers
feature a discrete FET front end
coupled to Bi-FET OP Amplifiers for the
preamplifier section.
Service – In the event of amplifier
malfunction, or questions about your unit’s
operating features, you should contact the
your Dealer, the factory, or one of our
authorized service centers for assistance.
