User manual AER COMPACT 60 2

[. . . ] Use only the right fuses with the same current rating and trigger characteristic as replacements. Should a fuse blow again after a short while, the device needs to be checked. Never install your amp close to devices with strong electromagnetic fields such as large mains transformers, revolving machines, neon illumination etc. [. . . ] Please take care that the master, return and all gain controls are set to zero (left stop) and all other controls to their center positions. Then make all the necessary cable connections (mains, instrument etc. ). Now you may turn on your amplifier with the power on switch located on the rear. · Level adjustment Using the gain controls, high/low and line/mic switches you can adapt the amplifier to your signal sources (guitar pickups, microphone etc. ) to achieve the best possible signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). First adjust the line/mic switch according to your signal source: mic is suitable for microphones, line for pickups and other signal sources. Turn the gain control clockwise until the red clip indicator flashes momentarily when playing with a strong attack. Now lower the gain control (and also the instrument`s volume control) again slightly to get some headroom for an undistorted reproduction. In case you find the level setting difficult because the input signal is too strong, press the high/low switch as well. If the input signal is too weak, the gain control must be increased accordingly. With signal sources with a sufficient input signal strength the gain control should be adjusted between the ` 9:00 and 11:00 o`clock` position. · Equalization The three-band equalizer with individual bass, middle and treble control of your Compact 602 has been designed in such a way that it both complies with the special requirements of acoustic instruments and also with the more general demands of other sources. The colour switch activates a midrange contour filter which is especially useful for picking techniques. One more note: Adjusting the EQ controls can also affect the level setting. Whenever you see the clip indicator flashing frequently, you should slighty correct your gain setting (see , Level adjustment`). · Effects The Compact 602 has a built-in (internal) digital effect processor. The return control determines the intensity of the internal effects (left stop = no effect).
