(but not to the point of feedback) and while playing, sweep the frequency control slowly across its range. You may
clear and obvious accentuation of the ugliness you want to remove. The ear is a most sensitive and discriminating
piece of test equipment when used in this manner, another good reason to protect them! This is the way many
the mid section in “boost” mode, particularly common when adding higher mids (bite) to an otherwise dull
instrument, or adding low mid “body” to an otherwise thin sound. Spend some time experimenting so that the
process becomes creative as well as corrective.
MASTER VOLUME
– The master volume control adjusts the overall volume of channel 1, channel 2 and the
effects return. Typically, best results are obtained when this control is operated between the 9:00 o’clock and 3:00
o’clock positions.
PHANTOM POWER
– An internal phantom power source (13.6 volts) is provided for use with condenser mics.
This power source is on at all times and does not affect the standard operation of the amp, even when a condenser
mic is not used. We use the DIN 45-596-P12 volt standard which will operate virtually all of the live sound
reinforcement condenser microphones on the market. Some “boutique” externally biased condenser mics will not
be compatible and will require 48 volt phantom power.
We suggest live sound condenser mics by: AKG (C4500B,
4000B, etc.), Audio Technica (AT3035, 3032, Pro Series, etc.), CAD, Shure and Crown.
DIRECT OUTPUTS
– The
Shenandoah™ JR
is equipped with an XLR balanced direct output and an
unbalanced ¼” line level output. Both the XLR balanced and ¼” unbalanced outputs make “real world sense” when
connecting with other equipment. The ¼” unbalanced outputs are true professional line level (+4 dBv) with an
Shenandoah™ JR
to drive very
long cable lengths (250+ feet) without problems or added noise. The XLR balanced direct outputs can be “ground
lifted” with the switch provided. This switch lifts pin 1 on the XLR balanced output to break any ground loops
between the
Shenandoah™ JR
and a PA system. Both outputs are post master volume/post eq/post effects to aid
POWER AMPLIFIER
– The
Shenandoah™ JR
is completely protected against overloads, short circuits and thermal faults. Output is rated at 35 watts into 4 ohms,
with excellent overload recovery characteristics.
SPEAKER OUTPUT JACK
– The
Shenandoah™ JR
provides a ¼” speaker output jack. Minimum total load
is 4 ohms.
