Transducer

Power Input

Here you connect the guitar a mp‘s loudspeaker output. Connecto r variant and pin confi gura-
tions follow industry s tandards: Unbalanced 1/4” Jack connector with t he signal at the tip and
ground at the sleeve.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
As with any typical amp and cabinet cabling, it is critical to obse rve loudspeaker cable of
a minimum 1.5 mm2 cross section. Guitar or line cables can lead to amplifi er damage! We
recommend to use cables with a maximum length of 3 meters/10 feet for lossless signal
transmission.

WARNING: Connecting Guitar Amps and the Transducer

Many guitar amps are not design ed for sustained maximum level op eration, and if run this
way, it can lead to overloads and power am p damage. At high levels, amps can p roduce high
frequency oscillati ons which can destroy output transformers. M oreover, this can cause
audible unwanted output transfor mer distortion. Suc h problems are not a result of Transducer
use, but reside within the gui tar amp.
Even in situations where you might wish to push the guitar amp to its limit in conjunction
with the Transducer, you should always be sure to allow for ample power reserves to avoid
endangering the amp itself!
In the same way a guitar amp and box should never be run knobs full to the right , so should
you avoid running the Transducer this way. Therefore we strongly recommend that the guitar
amp should never be run at over 70% of its maximal signal level!
Look for the amp‘s “Sweet Spot” as y ou make adjustments to it. This is alm ost never in the
upper level output range. Where th e amp‘s bass starts to sound “spongy” an d somewhat
undifferentiated is the plac e where your master level control sh ould be turned back.
The guitar amp output must be rated at 8 ohms! Only connec t amplifi ers rated at a 100 W
maximum to maintain a further 100 W reserve for signal peaks. A guitar amp may be u sed
ONLY within its normal operating parameters. The Transducer may be load ed up to 200 W.
But please note that a 100 W amp at higher v olumes, eventually com bined with fur ther effec ts,
produces peaks far above 10 0 W. Therefore we strongly recommend c onnecting amps rated at
a maximum of 100 W.

Speaker Thru

This output provides for a pa ssthrough from guitar amp to sp eaker in order to allow for the
connection of an additional 4, 8 or 16-ohm cabinet. This setup makes it possible to have a
traditional amp and cabinet co mbination sound sent to the sta ge and at the same time, route
the Mic Level or Line Output fo r PA or recording.
At Speaker Thru the amp signal appea rs with a -8dB lowering of the orig inal signal level. The
guitar amp therefore can be dr iven into saturation al so at moderate levels .
