Eden W1550 - Manual (Page 11)

NOTE; Remember, you can’t equalize out major physical room anomalies.
If things sound really weird where you are, try moving you rig a few feet
and see if that helps. This may be particularly helpful on saggy stages that
bounce like a drum head. (The propellerhead term for this is
“diaphragmatic.” So says David. – LB)
YOU’RE DONE. GO PLAY.
There you have it: a quick and easy process to help you set up your Eden
amplifier. It may take an extra minute or two to ensure everything is
connected correctly. However, doing so will ensure that you don’t damage
any equipment. Therefore, we highly recommend that you do this every time
you set up your system.
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 per channel, a 4 Ohm
model will draw the most current from your amplifier. If you will generally
be using two cabinets (per channel), they should both be 8 Ohm models so
their combined impedance will be 4 ohms. If you are uncertain about your
future needs, always go with the 8 Ohm speaker option so that you can add
another speaker later if you need to. In general, adding more speakers will
give you a greater volume increase than adding a few more watts.
In Bridge Mode, you can use one or two 8 ohm cabinets, or a single 4 ohm
cabinet. Remember, in Bridge Mode, each amplifier “sees” half the load. In
other words, at 8 Ohms, each amplifier is operating at 4 Ohms. (4_ plus 4_
equals 8_ total.)
We have designed our amplifiers to operate safely at 2 Ohms only because
everyone else is doing it and some users expect it. However, we much prefer
operating at 8 or 4 Ohms because of the markedly improved quality of tone
and dynamic response.
