MASTER STATUS LED INDICATORS - Output status LED’s are provided to indicate Signal present and Clipping. The Green LED monitors the pre Master Volume output signal from the preamp before the power amp section. The Red LED indicates Clip/Limit and indicates that the maximum power threshold has been crossed and the internal “soft-clip” limiter is active. Driving the amp 6db beyond this point will cause gradual clipping.

CHANNEL INSERTS / EFFECTS LOOP – The Shenandoah™ 200 is equipped with insert points on each channel AND on the left and right main signal paths. These points are handy for inserting compressors and dedicated digital effects processors. Signal is line level and unbalanced.

DIRECT OUTPUTS – The Shenandoah™ 200 contains the most comprehensive direct output section

long cable lengths (250+ feet) without problems or added noise and is compatible with all commonly encountered mixing consoles. The XLR balanced direct outputs can be “ground lifted” with the global ground lift switch. This switch lifts pin 1 on all of the XLR balanced outputs to break ground any loops between the Shenandoah™ 200 and a PA system (or recording) console Direct outputs are provided for each channel, pre eq, pre effects, post channel volume (to take advantage of the dual summing inputs on each channel), and for left and right mixed outputs, post

circuits that are completely protected against overloads, short circuits and thermal faults. Output is rated at 100 watts

a very cool feature that increases product reliability 10-fold over conventional designs. An internal cooling fan is provided for maximum heat exhaust through the front panel vents.

TUNER OUT – This jack is provided for use with all tuners that accept a ¼” input. The signal from this jack is always present and works well with all known tuners.

EFFECTS JACK – This jack is provided for use with the 2 button DSP footswitch with comes standard with the Shenandoah™ 200. This footswitch turns both DSP A and B programs ON and OFF. This is a useful tool for pre- selecting programs and then turning them on or off when desired.

SPEAKER OUTPUT JACKS – The Shenandoah 200 provides 2 sets of parallel ¼” speaker output jacks. Minimum total load is 4 ohms (2 x 8 ohm loudspeakers) on each output channel. The combo is equipped with a 10”

-8 ohm loudspeaker and compression tweeter per side and may drive an additional 8 ohm extension speaker cabinet per side. We offer the Shen-200 EXT L/R speaker enclosures that are a matched pair of Left and Right imaged extension speakers that offer the same compliment of 10” woofer and compression tweeters like those in the Shenandoah™ 200.

POWER INPUT – The Shenandoah™ 200 is shipped from the factory with a standard IEC type power inlet

universal input (115/230 volt, 50/60 Hz) with a voltage selector switch located above the inlet connector. Be sure that this switch is in the correct position (matching your local power system) BEFORE connecting the Shenandoah™ to the power source. There is an AC mains fuse (with a spare fuse included!) located in the small slide out tray on the IEC power inlet connector. Always replace with the correct value fuse as indicated on the fuse chart located on the
