Eden DC112XLT - Manual (Page 10)

10
Extension speaker connections should be made with high quality 16 gauge
or heavier unshielded speaker cables. We recommend 10 or 12 gauge cables.
The use of shielded line or instrument cables for speaker connections
can damage your amplifier. The speaker cable should be as short as
possible.
INITIAL SET UP
As bassists, each of us has in our head a concept of our perfect sound. Eden
amplifiers are designed to help you easily achieve the sound you hear inside
you. However, it’s a multi-step process as explained below.
In order to ensure the ultimate in tone, it’s important to follow the procedure
outlined below. Don’t skip steps; don’t jump around. Yes, this may take a
minute or two, but the work is well worth it. Once they’ve done it a few
times, most users can do it time and again in about a minute.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before you plug in your unit for the first time,
please do the following things. First, turn the power switch to the OFF
position. Check the back of your unit for the correct voltage notation for
your county of operation.
Once you’ve ensured correct voltage, set the Master Volume control to
minimum (fully counter-clockwise). Set the tone controls to the center
position (12:00 or 0). Turn the Enhance control to the minimum position. Set
the Input Gain control to the minimum (fully counter-clockwise). Set the
Compressor to the OFF position (fully counter-clockwise). On the front of
the unit, set the Speaker switch in the ON position. Make sure the Dynamic
Boost switches are OFF. This will set your amplifier up flat and with the
Compressor disengaged. Next, plug in the power cord to the AC inlet on the
back of the unit. Use only a safe grounded receptacle for proper operation at
the correct voltage for your country. Double check to make certain your
amplifier is set for the correct voltage in your country.
Turn On – Once you’ve completed the steps above, you can plug in your
bass and turn on the unit (plug it in first, ok?) and let’s get started. We
recommend turning your system on with the Master Volume control set to
its minimum position. This will prevent any unexpected signal from being
sent to your speakers.
