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 16 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. The speaker cable should be as short as possible.
INITIAL SET UP
As bassists, each of us has in our head a concept of our perfect sound. Eden
amplifiers are designed to help you easily achieve the sound you hear inside
you. However, it’s a multi-step process as explained below.
In order to ensure the ultimate in tone, it’s important to follow the procedure
outlined below. Don’t skip steps; don’t jump around. Yes, this may take a
minute or two, but the work is well worth it. Once they’ve done it a few
times, most users can do it time and again in about a minute.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before you plug in your unit for the first time,
please do the following things. First, turn the power switch to the OFF
position. Check the back of your unit for the correct voltage notation for
your county of operation.
Once you’ve ensured correct voltage, set the Master Volume control to
minimum (fully counter-clockwise). Set the tone controls to the center
position (12:00 or 0). Turn the Enhance control to the minimum position. Set
the Input Gain control to the minimum (fully counter-clockwise). Set the
Compressor to the OFF position (push the switch IN). This will set your
amplifier up flat and with the Compressor disengaged. Next, plug in the
power cord to the AC inlet on the back of the unit. Use only a safe grounded
receptacle for proper operation at the correct voltage for your country.
Double check to make certain your amplifier is set for the correct voltage in
your country. Double check that all connections and switches are correct for
your chosen mode of operation.
