Dual (Stereo) Channel Operation
– Engage this switch when using stereo
instruments. Engaging this switch will bypass the Channel Switching.
Turbo Boost
– Also known as the Solo Button, this engages a +6dB boost
to put you on top of the mix. Use this for solos and such. This control is
global, meaning that it affects both channels simultaneously.
Enhance Bypass
– Disengages the Enhance circuits, allowing you to
instantly change tone. One neat way to use this feature is to create a tone via
the tone controls only, then dial in some Enhance for a second tone. Using
the switch, you can flip between the two tones you’ve created. This control
is also global, meaning that it affects both channels simultaneously.
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 bottom and sides of the
unit. In the event of thermal shutdown, you should eliminate the cause of the
thermal problem (poor ventilation, speaker loads lower than 2 ohms)
immediately. The supplied rack ears can be used to install your amplifier in
a conventional equipment rack for protection during transportation.
Electrical Connection
– The WT1205 requires at least 20 Amps of
correctly wired alternating current for proper operation. Providing less than
20 Amps of power may result in reduced amplifier performance (power
output), so it’s probably not a good idea to plug all of your band’s gear into a
single wall outlet.
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. Speaker
connections should be made with high quality 14 gauge or heavier
unshielded speaker cables. We recommend 10 or 12 gauge cables.
The use
of shielded line or instrument cables for speaker connections can
damage your amplifier. This is JUST PLAIN WRONG!
The speaker
cable should be as short as possible.
