ULTRABASS BXL450/BXL900/BXL1800/BXL3000
1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! With this amplifier from our ULTRABASS Series
you have purchased a state-of-the-art Bass Workstation that
sets new standards. The ULTRABASS is an extremely powerful
2-channel bass amp equipped with genuine BUGERA™
speakers. It gives you loads of power and makes sure that you
always have a few extra watts available whenever you need
them. The other items on the list of features are no less
impressive: The ULTRABASS has one clean and one distortion
channel plus one equalizer with a ground-breaking “see-what-
you-play” FBQ frequency display, which immediately shows
you which bass frequency is assigned to which control—the
perfect solution for sound tuning as you play. A musical limiter
circuit protects the unit effectively against distortion, even at
maximum volume. The connectors for headphones and
CD players are ideal for practicing.
+
This user’s manual will allow you to familiarize
yourself with the control elements of your new
ULTRABASS and learn all of its functions. After
reading this manual, store it where you can easily
find it for future reference.
1.1 Before you get started
1.1.1 Shipment
The ULTRABASS was carefully packed at the assembly plant to
ensure secure transport.
If the cardboard box is damaged, please inspect the ULTRABASS
equipment immediately for physical damage.
+
Damaged equipment should NEVER be sent directly
to us. Immediately inform the dealer from whom
you acquired it as well as the transportation
company from which you took delivery. Otherwise,
all claims for replacement/repair may be rendered
invalid.
+
If the unit needs to be shipped, please always use
the original packaging to avoid damage.
+
Never let unsupervised children play with the
device or with its packaging.
+
Please dispose of all packaging materials in an
environmentally-friendly fashion.
1.1.2 Initial operation
Please make sure that your ULTRABASS is provided with
sufficient ventilation, and never place it on other amplifiers or in
the vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk of overheating.
+
Before plugging your ULTRABASS into a power
socket, please make sure you have selected the
correct voltage:
The fuse retainer near the power cord connector has three
triangular markings. Two of these triangles point in opposite
directions. Your ULTRABASS is set up for the voltage
indicated near these markings, and can be altered by turning
the fuse mount by 180 degrees. ATTENTION: This does
not apply to export models built for 120 V, for
example!
+
If you use your ULTRABASS unit with a different
voltage, you must change the fuses accordingly.
The correct value of the fuses needed can be found
in the section “SPECIFICATIONS”.
+
Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of
appropriate rating, without exception! The correct
value of the fuses needed can be found in the
section “SPECIFICATIONS”.
Power is delivered via the cable that was delivered with the
ULTRABASS. All mandatory safety precautions have been
adhered to.
+
Please make sure that all of your equipment is
grounded at all times. For your own protection, you
should never tamper with the grounding of the cable
or the unit itself. The unit shall always be connected
to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing
connection.
