Cabinet Placement – The placement of your cabinet can also have an
impact on the amount of bass it produces. Placing the unit on the floor
increases the amount of Bass you get by an additional +3dB . With each
additional wall surface placement you get another 3 dB increase. This is due
to the reinforcement of bass frequencies by the adjacent surfaces.
The absence of reinforcing surfaces is the reason why outside settings are so
problematic for bass amplification. A system that may be perfectly adequate
in a fairly large club can be rather disappointing on an outdoor stage. If you
have plans to perform in such a setting and are not confident that the P.A.
system can provide you with sufficient reinforcement (both out front and via
monitors), you should consider using additional equipment to support your
own sound.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Headphone Jack as a Line Driver – On some occasions (such as high-
volume or outdoor situations) it may be desirable to use the DC210XLT
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 unit to an unbalanced input of a standard power amplifier. This will
provide a signal that is post-EQ and after the Master Volume control,
allowing the entire system to be controlled from the DC210XLT. This way,
you only have to adjust one set of knobs. This is a Really Neat Thing, huh?
Using the DC210XLT Without 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. Neighbors and room mates really love this, which qualifies it as
another Really Neat Thing.
MAINTENANCE
Your Eden amplifier has been designed to require minimal routine
maintenance. Attention to the following areas will ensure optimum
performance of your amplifier. We’re serious. Don’t blow this off, OK?
