Workingmans 2X10C Suggested Settings

TWEETER MODE SWITCH

Also located on the small panel on the rear of the Workingman's 2x10C's speaker cabinet, this three-position switch gives you three different options for operation of the piezo tweeter. In the Full Range (top) position, the tweeter will reproduce an unattenuated sig- nal of every frequency it sees (roughly 2 kHz up to 15 kHz, within certain tolerances). The -6db (bottom) position reduces the level of the tweeter's outputs by 6 decibels, which to the ear sounds roughly as if cut in half compared to the Full Range position. The Off (middle) position will defeat the tweeter's output entirely.

Try starting with the switch in the Full Range position. If this sounds too "treble-y" to your ear and you still want the touch of crisp- ness that a tweeter provides, you can: a) set the Tweeter Mode Switch to -6db; b) adjust the Treble tone control on the front panel; c) a combination of both. Those users with a predisposition against a tweeter in general have the option to turn it off and leave it off, but we recommend trying it out first.

LINE FUSE (A/C OR MAINS FUSE)

This fuse is provided to protect the internal electronics against power surges, etc. It also protects the unit against itself should one of the internal components fail. If this fuse should open, replace it with the same type of fuse and rating. Do not defeat the purpose of this feature by using a higher rated fuse as it can void your warranty.

United States: 3AG 7 amp slo-blo

Japan: 3AG 8 amp slo-blo

Europe (230V-240V): 3AG 4 amp slo-blo

A/C CORD RECEPTACLE

This receptacle accepts a standard A/C power cable (supplied with the Workingman's 2x10C in the United States) used with almost all current musical, professional and household electronic devices. We recommend great care when packing up. If your unit is not in a rack case, put the cable in your instrument or accessory case or leave it attached and looped around one of the rack handles. If it does become misplaced, a replacement cable can be purchased at almost any music or computer store.

NOTE: The rating for this cable is 3 conductor, 10 amperes minimum. Look for this rating on the cable. Make sure the cable is plugged in all the way in both the amp and the wall socket.

REMOVABLE CASTER WHEELS

Your Workingman's 2x10C comes with a set of four, heavy-duty, removable caster wheels. SWR uses only closed shaft sockets so as to prevent air leaks or unwanted noise when the enclosure is in use. To install the caster wheels on your Workingman's 2x10C, care- fully turn the unit upside down (or on its side) so that the caster base/sockets are visible. Insert the shaft of each caster wheel into a socket on the underside of the Workingman's 2x10C. When all four wheels are firmly in place, return the Workingman's 2x10C to its upright position and you're ready to roll. You can leave the casters in place during performance, but it's recommended that they be removed so as to allow the Workingman's 2x10C's speaker compartment to couple to the floor, which can be helpful in extending its bass response. Please note that the ball bearing type caster wheels provided with your Workingman's 2x10C may require periodic replacement depending on usage and care. Replacement caster wheels can be purchased from the SWR Service Department.
