OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Mechanical and Thermal Issues – During operation, your amplifier should
always be placed away from sources of moisture or heat. Care should be
taken not to obstruct the ventilation holes on the back of the unit.
Electrical Connection – The N8 requires a properly grounded AC
connection to operate safely and efficiently.
Connections – All instrument-level input connections (everything but the
speakers) should be made with high quality shielded cables. The use of
speaker cables for input connections will result in excess noise.
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 country of operation.
Once you’ve ensured correct voltage, set the Master Volume control to it’s
minimum position (full counter-clockwise). Set the tone controls to the
center position (12:00 or 0). Set the Input Gain control to the minimum
(fully counter-clockwise). This will set your amplifier up flat. Double check
to make certain your amplifier is set for the correct voltage in your country.
Double check that all connections are correct.
