Additional Notes: 

 

Please remember that the BH1K will handle a minimum 4 Ohm load and is warrantied as such. Failure to 

adhere to this impedance can void the manufacturer’s warranty

 

 

 

The BH1K is passively cooled through the use of side panel vents and is constructed from aluminum which 
is a metal that provides excellent heat transfer. Our heat tests revealed that the BH1K runs extremely cool 
under normal circumstances but, the vents must remain clear for the heat to dissipate. Do not block these 
vents as the over-stress of heat buildup will cause the amplifier to shut down until it has cooled to safe 
operating temperature. When using the optional rack-ears leave enough room on the sides of the amp for 

the heat to dissipate (Don’t pack foam, cables or use the space for storage of personal items.)

 

 

 

ALWAYS use quality unshielded speaker cables (16GA pair minimum) and keep the runs as short as 
possible 
 

 

Never use an unshielded cable for the instrument input, EFX loops or the DI out. 
 

 

Clip Indicators: The Bargraph on the BH1K is very quick and may pop into the red even though you don 
not hear distortion 

 this is an OK situation. However, the last red LED in the input bargraph acts as a clip 

indicator for both the pre-amp and power amp and if it glows brighter than the rest, you are clipping and 
should back off the gain. If you are running the pre-amp cleanly and the last red LED glows brighter than 
the rest you are most likely clipping the power amp and should turn down the master volume until the 
condition disappears.  

 

Warranty

We proudly stand behind our products with a 5 year warranty against manufacturer defects with one exception; 
drivers are warrantied against manufacturer defect for 90 days. This warranty extends to the original owner of the
