OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Mechanical and Thermal Issues
During operation, your amplifier should
always be placed away from sources of moisture or heat. Care should be
taken not to obstruct the ventilation holes on the sides of the unit.
In the event of thermal shutdown, you should eliminate the cause of the
thermal problem (poor ventilation, speaker loads lower than 2 ohms)
immediately. The supplied rack ears can be used to install your amplifier in
a conventional equipment rack for protection during transportation.
Electrical Connection
The WTB1000 requires at least 20 Amps of
correctly wired alternating current for proper operation. Providing less than
20 Amps of power may result in reduced amplifier performance (power
output), so its probably not a good idea to plug all of your bands gear into a
single wall outlet.
Connections
All instrument-level input connections (everything but the
speakers) should be made with high quality shielded cables. The use of
speaker cables for input connections will result in excess noise. Speaker
connections should be made with high quality 14 gauge or heavier
unshielded speaker cables. We recommend 10 or 12 gauge cables.
The use
of shielded line or instrument cables for speaker connections can
damage your amplifier. This is JUST PLAIN WRONG!
The speaker
cable should be as short as possible.
Graphic On
Disengages the Graphic EQ circuit, allowing you to
instantly change tone. Similar to the Enhance Bypass use this feature to
create a tone via the tone controls only, then change the Graphic EQ for a
second tone.
