OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Suggested Speaker Systems
– Your speaker system should be chosen to
accommodate the characteristics of your amplifier and your predominant
application. If you will only be using one cabinet, a 4 Ohm model will draw
the most current from your amplifier. If you will generally be using two
cabinets, they should both be 8 Ohm models so their combined impedance
will be 4 ohms. If you are uncertain about your future needs, always go with
the 8 Ohm speaker option so that you can add another speaker later if you
need to. In general, adding more speakers will give you greater volume than
by adding a few more watts.
REALLY IMPORTANT NOTE – DO NOT operate your amplifier at
an impedance of less than 4 Ohms. This will cause your amplifier to
overheat and go into Thermal Protection Mode. It may also damage
your amplifier and release the Magic Smoke. This is a VERY BAD
THING. Don’t do it. Don’t even think about doing it.
About the Headphone Jack
– This headphone Output is not quite the same
as found on our other models. Due to the nature of the power amplifier
design, attempting to use the headphone output as a line driver will cause the
amplifier to go into protect mode. However, you can still drive other
amplifiers by using the FX Send or the DI Output.
Using the WTX-260 Without Speakers
-This amplifier is designed to be
used safely with headphones only, without the loud speaker plugged in. No
harm will result from using the amplifier in this fashion. This allows the use
of the unit for practice with headphones and as a preamplifier with other
amplifiers. Like we said earlier, neighbors and room mates really love this,
which qualifies it as another Really Neat Thing.
MAINTENANCE
Your Eden amplifier has been designed to require minimal routine
maintenance. Attention to the following areas will ensure optimum
performance of your amplifier. We’re serious. Don’t blow this off, OK?
