Eden WP100 Navigator (2011) - Manual (Page 12)

Once you’ve established that your unit is set to the 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 (push the switch
IN). This will set your Navigator 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 Navigator is set for the
correct voltage in your country. Double check that all connections and
switches are correct for your chosen mode of operation.
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.
Setting Your Level – Remember, begin with the Input Gain, Enhance,
Compressor and Master Volume completely OFF – fully counter-clockwise.
All EQ should be set flat, that is, at 12:00 – straight up.
While playing your lowest note (or loudest), slowly turn the Input Gain up
until the Set Level light begins to blink with regularity. If you can’t go past 8
or 9 o’clock, you may engage the Gain Switch to better match the gain of
your instrument to the amplifier.
If you have disengaged the Compressor as we suggested, the Set Level light
will barely blink on your loudest notes. By the way, this is
our favorite
way to set level, even if you intend to use compression.
Once you have properly set your Input Gain, turn the Master Volume up to a
comfortable listening level and proceed with the rest of the setup process.
Setting the Compressor - If you want to use compression, engage it now by
turning the Compressor Defeat switch OFF. As previously mentioned, the
Threshold control determines how soon compression takes place, while the
Ratio control governs how much compression will take place.
