IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these instructions.
Keep these instructions.
Heed all warnings.
Follow all instructions.
Clean only with a dry cloth.
Do not block any ventilation openings.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched.
Unplug this amplifier during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of
time.
WARNING
: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this
apparatus to rain or moisture.
Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing and ensure that no object
filled with liquids is placed on the equipment.
Maintain at least six inches of unobstructed air space behind the unit to allow for
proper ventilation and cooling. Air must be capable of freely moving around the
amplifier.
This amplifier is capable of producing very high sound pressure levels which may
cause temporary or permanent hearing damage. Use care when adjusting volume
levels during use.
Do not turn the amplifier on without a loudspeaker.
Refer all servicing and maintenance to qualified service personnel including
replacement of fuses and vacuum tubes. Changes and modifications not expressly
approved by EHX can void the warranty.
DO NOT attempt to remove the amplifier chassis. There are no serviceable parts.
DO NOT use this apparatus near water.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have
fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture,
does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with
items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the
apparatus.
Apparatus is not for use in tropical climates.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
The appliance coupler shall remain readily operable.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that
may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence
of important operation and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying
the product.
GETTING STARTED
BEFORE PLUGGING POWER INTO YOUR MIG-50 AMP MAKE SURE:
1.
Both the POWER and STANDBY toggle switches are off, set to their DOWN
position.
2.
The AC voltage marked on the rear panel matches the wall voltage for your
region or the AC voltage powering your amp.
3.
The LOUDSPEAKERS output on the rear panel should be connected via a properly
rated speaker cable to a speaker cabinet with the correct impedance (a 16Ω
cabinet to the 16Ω jack or an 8Ω cabinet to the 8Ω jack, etc.).
WARNING:
Only
connect one speaker output at a time! Running the amp into a speaker cabinet
with mismatched impedances or with no cabinet at all could severely damage the
MIG-50 and void your warranty. Be sure to select a cabinet that can handle the
full rated
50W
RMS
power rating for your amp.
