IMPORTANT NOTE: Excessive heat is a Very Bad Thing and can
result in severe damage to your amplifier. DO NOT bypass or
disconnect any part of your thermal safety system. Doing so will
immediately void your warranty!
SECOND REALLY IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT remove the rubber
feet from the bottom of your amp unless you are mounting it in a rack.
There is a vent underneath the amp; covering this vent will decrease the
effectiveness of the cooling system and may cause damage to your
amplifier. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
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 bottom and 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 4 ohms)
immediately. The optional rack ears can be used to install your amplifier in
a conventional equipment rack for protection during transportation.
Electrical Connection
– The WTX requires at least 10 Amps of correctly
wired alternating current for proper operation. Providing less than 10 Amps
of power may result in poor amplifier performance and bad tone, so it’s
probably not a good idea to plug all of your band’s gear into a single wall
outlet.
Connections
– All line connections (everything but the speakers) should be
made with high-quality shielded cables. The use of speaker cables for line
connections will result in excess noise. Speaker connections should only be
made with high-quality 16 gauge or larger unshielded speaker cables. We
recommend 10 or 12 gauge cables with NL-4 (Speakon) connectors,
although standard 1/4" cables will work fine for up to 300W RMS. The use
of shielded line or instrument cables for speaker connections can damage
your amplifier.
The speaker cable should be as short as possible.
