Setting up the AC60R
WARNING!
To avoid electrical shock or any other damage, make sure that the AC60R
and all other devices are switched off before you start connecting them to the
amplifi er!
Power Connections/Mains
Before connecting to a grounded power outlet,
make sure the power switches are in the off position
(facing down). The AC60R is set up for 230 V of line
voltage. Once the amplifi er is plugged in, you can
get started!
Connecting an acoustic instrument
The input jack on the left side of the frontpanel
receives your acoustic instrument signal by means of
a shielded guitar cord with 1/4” mono style plug.
Make sure the master volume of the amplifi er is set
to the lowest position to avoid disturbing noise while
connecting.
Speaker protection
The AC60R has two built-in 8” Speakers and a 1” HF
Horn. These can be damaged by heavy feedbacks of
the connected instruments. You should always keep a
suffi cient distance to the amplifi er to avoid such feed-
backs. This will extend the life of the speaker and the
power amp.
Travelling Abroad
If travelling to countries outside the EU, always check
their local voltage before operating the AC60R.
Mismatched voltages can and most likely will destroy
your amplifi er. Should you encounter voltages and
frequencies other than those indicated, a transfor-
mer must be used between the power socket and the
AC60R. This transformer must be able to transform
the voltage and frequency to one of the indicated
settings.
Main Fuse
The main fuse is situated in a little drawer which is
part of the power input jack. This sliding fuse holder
also hides a spare fuse. For 230 V, the fuse must be
a 2A slow blow. It is crucially important to use the
specifi ed fuse values only.
Maintenance
All checkups and repairs must be performed by
authorized service personnel. With the right treat-
ment, the electric circuit and the power amp will not
need any kind of maintenance at all.
