WORKINGMAN'S 2X10C - GETTING STARTED

Remove the AC cable from the accessory pack and connect it from the amplifier to a standard wall outlet. Make sure that the "Gain" and "Master Volume" controls are set to the minimum position (fully counter-clockwise). Locate the power switch on the right side of the front of the unit and turn the amplifier on. Upon powering up, don't be surprised if you hear a small pop. This is absolutely normal and will not cause damage to your speaker system.

(Eliminating this "power on transient" would require a component called a relay. SWR chose not to incorporate this type of compo- nent due to the fact that relays degrade signal quality and often fail, causing the unit to have no output and requiring a trip to a local service center. If you wish not to hear the pop upon power up, locate the "Speakers On/Off" switch on the front panel and set it to the down position before you turn the unit on. Be sure to remember to set the switch back to "On" afterwards, or you may find yourself wondering why you don't hear anything.)

Plug your instrument into the desired input jack (refer to "Front Panel Features" for greater detail). Turn your instrument's volume up to at least 75% of maximum and slowly adjust the gain control. Once you begin to play your instrument and you see the red light (marked "preamp clip") over the gain control illuminate, back off the gain a bit. Now turn up the "Master Volume" and you should hear the sound of your instrument amplified through the Workingman's 2x10C. For more detailed information, please read the entire manu- al carefully so that you can fully realize the potential of your new Workingman's 2x10C.

For those who wish to use an extension speaker cabinet with the Workingman's 2x10C, please skip ahead to the section marked "Extension Speaker Output Section."

The SWR Sound 2X10C is a powerful and versatile bass cabinet designed for both studio sessions and live performances. With its compact size and lightweight design, it is an ideal choice for musicians seeking portability without sacrificing sound quality. The cabinet features two 10-inch custom-designed speakers, specifically engineered to deliver a balanced tonal range and impressive low-end response.

One of the standout features of the 2X10C is its high power handling capability, allowing it to handle up to 400 watts RMS. This ensures that even when pushed to its limits, the cabinet maintains clarity and punch, crucial for any live show or recording environment. The cabinet is also equipped with a high-efficiency horn tweeter, which enhances the higher frequencies and provides a sparkling top-end that complements the rich tones produced by the 10-inch woofers.

The cabinet utilizes SWR's proprietary technologies to enhance performance. The "Bass Reflex" design features strategically positioned ports that help to eliminate unwanted air turbulence while maximizing low-frequency response. This design not only promotes deeper bass tones but also allows the cabinet to remain lightweight, making it easier for musicians to transport.

Another key characteristic of the SWR 2X10C is its rugged construction. Built from durable materials, the cabinet is designed to withstand the rigors of both touring and frequent use. Reinforced corners and a heavy-duty grille protect the speakers from potential damage, ensuring the longevity of the cabinet.

For connectivity, the 2X10C comes with dual 1/4-inch input jacks, enabling easy integration with various amplifiers and allowing for daisy-chaining additional cabinets if more sound output is required. The cabinet is compact enough to fit into most environments, making it a versatile option for a range of musical genres.

In summary, the SWR Sound 2X10C combines advanced features, innovative technology, and robust build quality, making it an exceptional choice for bass players looking for a reliable cabinet that delivers impressive sound across various settings.
