DynaBass 200 and 200T
The Traynor DynaBass 200 and the 200T have been designed with the needs of professional
bass guitar players in mind. We believe you will find your Traynor DynaBass 200 or 200T to
be dependable and versatile for years to come.
1. Tuner Jack
This is an instrument-level output ideal for connecting an electronic guitar/bass tuner.
2. 0dB / Passive and -6dB / Active Inputs
These are the instrument inputs. We suggest the following: use the 0dB/Passive input for
bass guitars with passive electronics, like single-coil and humbucking pickups; use the -6dB/
Active input for active pickups (or extremely ‘hot’ pickups). However, you may prefer to run
your active pickup bass guitar into the 0dB/Passive input for an intentional aggressive sound
– you the artist are in control.
User Tip: Don’t use both inputs at the same time as they are not intended for connecting more
than one instrument at a time.
3. Mute Switch
The Mute button cuts off all audible signals to the speaker(s). For your convenience, your
signal still runs to the Tuner jack. This enables you to tune your bass without having to adjust
any settings on either the bass guitar or DynaBass 200 (and the audience will not be able to
hear you tuning).
4. Limiter
When engaged, the DynaBass 200’s Limiter prevents audible distortion due to power-
amp clipping. Unlike some other input clip limiters, the DynaBass 200’s does not affect the
preamp stage at all. Instead, this Limiter ensures that output-stage clipping cannot endanger
the speaker or tweeter.
Technically, the DynaBass 200’s Limiter compares the amplifier’s output to the available AC
power (i.e., it reads the DC rail voltage) then, just before output stage clipping occurs, the
Limiter reduces signal levels sufficiently to prevent power amp distortion. This permits the 200
to remain cleaner at higher output levels, even when the AC line sags below normal.
User Tip: With the Limiter engaged, the only way you can distort your DynaBass 200 is by
overdriving the preamp, which is quite acceptable for certain playing styles. This will not harm
the drivers as long as the Limiter remains engaged.
