USB Interface (Gnome i, Gnome i Pro V2 and Gnome i Pro 600)
The Warwick Gnome i, Gnome i Pro V2 and Gnome i Pro 600 amplifiers feature an USB audio interface that can be used as universal connection
device for PC, MAC or compatible mobile devices without any specific drivers or software requirements. The interface uses high quality ADC/
DAC converters to convert your audio signal to be processed with the many applications available or for direct recording in your DAW. Gnome i,
Gnome i Pro V2 and Gnome i Pro 600 are functioning as external soundcards for your mobile device or PC/Mac, converting your instrument's
signal into a digital audio signal. The interface section is compatible with any USB device that can manage digital audio signals, via a standard
USB-B to USB-A cable.
Setup a Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 Device

Protective Circuits
Your new Warwick Gnome amplifier comes with multiple protective circuits to prevent malfunctions under unsuitable operating conditions.
Over-Current / Short-Circuit Protection
The amplifier features an over-current / short-circuit protected output. A current drop occurs when the amplifier exceeds the specified peak current
output. This goes along with the drop in the voltage of the amplifier. If the current output of the amplifier exceeds its specified peak current output for
a longer period of time e.g. in case of a short circuit of the output, the amplifier will be disabled (muted) for 1000 ms and automatically restart.
DC Output Protection
A built-in DC protection circuit will attenuate any DC signals on the power amplifier input, produced by a signal containing a DC signal. In case of
a permanent DC on the output of the amplifier, the amplifier will latch and power must be removed for the product to restart.
Excessive Temperature
This circuit protects the power stage from malfunction by switching the device off if the temperature-regulated fan cooling proves to be insufficient
and temperature of the unit is too high.
