User manual GALLIEN-KRUEGER BACKLINE 110 &112

[. . . ] If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your specific model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact your dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet. Verify AC Circuit Capacity Before Use: The high power output of your amplifier may require heavy current draw under full-load conditions. To insure proper performance and avoid potential safety hazards, we recommend connection to line circuits with amperage specified "as above". Connecting multiple amplifiers to the same circuit, or connecting the amplifier to the same circuit used by other heavy-power devices, such as high-wattage lights, may cause circuit breakers to trip. [. . . ] Having taken our own path, GK products enjoy a unique, unmatched sound, allowing the artist using them every opportunity to make an original statement. Having supported my products for over thirty years, I have learned from the story they tell. Gallien-Krueger is a reflection of that story, and has a commitment to support that legacy. Just as the products I created thirty years ago are still telling their story, the products we create today will be talking to us tomorrow. We'll be listening, Introduction If your Backline Series combo did not come with all the items listed, or if you encounter problems while setting up your new equipment, please contact your local dealer, or us as soon as possible. 2234 Industrial Drive Stockton, CA 95206 phone: (209) 234-7300 fax: (209) 234-8420 Internet: www. gallien-krueger. com Email: info@gallien. com Robert Gallien We wish you a lifetime of good playing and remember to always have fun! 5 KLINE B A C KLINE 110 & 112 Setup & Maintenance Quick Start The Backline 110/112 is designed to be simple to operate. These directions will take you through the basics and give you a good start for setting up your sound. Set the power switch to Off and connect the supplied power cable from the amplifier AC receptacle to an AC power outlet of proper voltage and power rating (see safety information on page 8 for details). The Voicing Filter should be turned all the way down to get a flat response. Using an instrument cable, connect your bass to the Input jack and turn the power switch on and play. Occasional clip light flashes occurring while playing very hard is okay. Set the master control to 12 o'clock and slowly bring the Level-A volume up. Do not turn the volume control in the input section past 12 o'clock unless you want an overdrive effect. If you have a bass with passive electronics make sure the controls are all the way up. If you have a bass with active electronics, turn all of the EQ controls on the bass to the middle or flat position. You can use the volume and Master to achieve a comfortable sound level. (See Sound Tips for more detail). Setup & Maintenance Setup: To insure proper operation and to avoid potential safety hazards, place the unit on a firm, level surface. Do not plug or unplug the instrument or speaker cable while the amplifier power is on. Heat & Ventilation: For proper ventilation, make sure there is at least 8 inches (20cm) of clearance around the sides, top, back and front of the amplifier. Avoid using in extremely hot or cold locations and areas that are exposed to direct sunlight, or near heating equipment. The heat sink fins and ventilation slots that form part of the enclosure are specially designed to displace heat generated by the amplifier. Placing other electronic equipment near these heat-dissipation systems may possibly affect the long-term reliability of both your amplifier and the other equipment. [. . . ] Intelligent Protection Circuitry: The Backline Series' protection circuitry constantly monitors for unsafe operating conditions such as short circuits, miswired speaker cables, blown speakers, improper ventilation and incorrect speaker configurations. If the Backline unit senses any unsafe operating conditions, the output signal is immediately muted and the power light changes from Green to Red. If the protection circuit activates while playing, turn the amplifier off and check the amplifier speaker output connections. Be sure that you are not exceeding the maximum recommend load described in this manual. [. . . ]
