ULTRABASS BXR1800H

1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! With the ULTRABASS head, you have acquired

astate-of-the-art bass amp that sets new standards. The ULTRABASS is an extremely powerful 2-channel bass amp. It gives you loads of power and makes sure that you always have a few extra watts available whenever you need them. The other items on the list of features are no less impressive: The ULTRABASS has one clean and one distortion channel plus one equalizer with a ground-breaking “see-what-you-play” FBQ frequency display, which immediately shows you which bass frequency is assigned to which control—the perfect solution for sound tuning as you play. A musical limiter circuit protects the unit effectively against distortion, even at maximum volume. The connectors for headphones and CD players are ideal for practicing.

This user’s manual will allow you to familiarize yourself with the control elements of your new ULTRABASS and learn all of its functions. After reading this manual, store it where you can easily find it for future reference.

1.1 Before you get started

1.1.1 Shipment

The ULTRABASS was carefully packed at the assembly plant to ensure secure transport.

If the cardboard box is damaged, please inspect the ULTRABASS equipment immediately for physical damage.

Damaged equipment should NEVER be sent directly to us. Immediately inform the dealer from whom you acquired it as well as the transportation company from which you took delivery. Otherwise, all claims for replacement/repair may be rendered invalid.

If the unit needs to be shipped, please always use the original packaging to avoid damage.

Never let unsupervised children play with the device or with its packaging.

Please dispose of all packaging materials in an environmentally-friendly fashion.

1.1.2 Initial operation

Please make sure that your ULTRABASS is provided with sufficient ventilation, and never place it on other amplifiers or in the vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk of overheating.

Before plugging your ULTRABASS into a power socket, please make sure you have selected the correct voltage:

The fuse retainer near the power cord connector has three triangular markings. Two of these triangles point in opposite directions. Your ULTRABASS is set up for the voltage indicated near these markings, and can be altered by turning the fuse mount by 180 degrees. ATTENTION: This does not apply to export models built for 120 V, for example!

If you use your ULTRABASS unit with a different voltage, you must change the fuses accordingly. The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the section “SPECIFICATIONS”.

Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of appropriate rating, without exception! The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the section “SPECIFICATIONS”.

Power is delivered via the cable that was delivered with the ULTRABASS. All mandatory safety precautions have been adhered to.

Please make sure that all of your equipment is grounded at all times. For your own protection, you should never tamper with the grounding of the cable or the unit itself. The unit shall always be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

The sound quality may diminish within the range of powerful broadcasting stations and high-frequency sources. Increase the distance between the transmitter and the device and use shielded cables for all connections.
