BLACKSMITH’s MUTE button mutes both the speaker
and headphones outputs. This means that you can
tune up with no sound going to your own rig or to the
PA.
BLACKSMITH’s balanced output has been designed with
the utmost care for the sound. This is achieved through a
galvanic isolated transformer coupling. The active design by far
outperforms most standard DI boxes around, and it is capable of
driving long cable hauls. No phantom power is required.
Ventilation
Be sure not to cover the black cooling plate of the BLACKSMITH
amplifier!
Insufficient ventilation may cause the amplifier’s
temperature to increase.
If your BLACKSMITH is insufficiently ventilated, it may go
into Heat Protection mode, which is indicated by an “H”
on the front panel display. Please read more on the
following page.

8 – LINE DRIVER OUT – Balanced Line Out
Use the LINE DRIVER OUT jack to connect your BLACKSMITH
to the PA when you play on stage or to connect it to a recording
device when you are in the studio.
To determine where in the signal chain the signal for the
balanced output should be tapped, use the PRE/POST switch
(7), located right next to the LINE DRIVER OUT jack.
