YOU’RE DONE. GO PLAY

.

There you have it: a quick and easy process to help you get the perfect tone
from your Eden amplifier. As previously mentioned, it make take a few
extra minutes the first few times you go through this, especially if you take
the time to experiment with all the knobs and switches, which we highly
recommend.

We are confident that the time you spend getting to know your new friend is
an important investment, one that will pay off immeasurably in

Great Bass

Tone

. And, after all, that’s why you bought an Eden, right?

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, a 4 Ohm model will draw
the most current from your amplifier. If you will generally be using two
cabinets, 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.

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. But if you really want to, you can operate your
WTB1000 at 2 Ohms in stereo mode without worry.

Headphone Jack as a Line Driver

– On some occasions (such as high-

volume or outdoor situations) it may be desirable to use the WTB1000 along
with an additional power amplifier and added cabinets. A standard shielded
instrument cable may be used to connect from the headphone jack of the unit
to an unbalanced input of a standard power amplifier. This will provide a
signal that is post-EQ and after the Master Volume control, allowing the
entire system to be controlled from the WTB1000. This way, you only have to
adjust one set of knobs,
