Exposure to extremely high noise levels may
cause permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary
considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced
hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some
hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise
for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level
exposures shown in the following chart.
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess
of these permissible limits could result in some
hearing loss. To ensure against potentially
dangerous exposure to high sound pressure
levels, it is recommended that all persons
exposed to equipment capable of producing high
sound pressure levels use hearing protectors
while the equipment is in operation. Ear plugs or
protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must
be worn when operating the equipment in order to
prevent permanent hearing loss if exposure is in
excess of the limits set forth here:

Introduction
Welcome to the world of Ampeg. Whether this is your first experience with Ampeg or you’re a
well-seasoned player who’s been around the globe a few times with our gear, you are taking
part in a piece of musical history. From here on out, nothing else will sound the same...
everything else will pale in comparison. You are one of the lucky few to take part in a new
chapter of an American legacy. Ampeg has come home! Each Heritage Series amplifier and
cabinet is designed and assembled right here in the U.S.A. We’ve heard from bass players
around the globe about their dedication and commitment to Ampeg and the Heritage Series
is made specifically for those players. Just our way of saying thank you and letting you know
that we heard you loud and clear.
Ampeg is the standard by which all others are measured. We’ve been pounding bass player’s
chests and audience’s booties for over 60 years now and we’re not going to slow down
anytime soon. From our early days of building “amplified pegs” for upright players to building
the world famous, stadium rattling SVT, Ampeg has been the choice for bassists, from touring
professionals to weekend warriors and everyone in between. We were the first ones on the
block listening and building gear for bass players. Heck, even our company’s founding fathers
were working, gigging players. When they weren’t tinkering around the shop on new ideas,
they were out in the clubs of New York earning their living. Not much has changed since then.
The average length of a hit song is 3 minutes and 40 seconds. We have been a part of most
of those hits for over 60 years. Now that you own a piece of Ampeg history, we want to be a
part of your next hit.
On a personal note, the team at Ampeg would sincerely like to thank you for your support
and dedication to our mission in bringing you some of the best amps and cabs the world has
known.
Best of luck in all of your musical endeavors!
Sincerely,
The dedicated team at Ampeg

Eminence Speakers
There are some relationships that go hand in hand in the music business. When it comes to
building amplifiers and cabinets, nothing is more suited than the relation between Ampeg and
Eminence Speakers. Ampeg commissioned Eminence Speakers decades ago to build one of
the first 18” speakers used in an Ampeg amplifier. We’ve been calling on Eminence ever since
to custom build speakers used in some of our most famous models. From the SVT-410HLF
and stadium rattling SVT-810E to the latest Heritage and Pro Neo Series, Eminence is at the
heart and soul of our most loved cabinets! It’s no secret what goes into building a great
cabinet: innovative designs, superb materials and world class components.

Impedance: The Golden Rule
When it comes to tube amps, be sure that the output impedance of the amplifier matches the
total impedance of the speaker cabinet or cabinets.

SVT-410HLF Suggested Hookup Diagrams
Heritage Bass Guitar Cabinets
SVT-410HLF / SVT-810E
In the first example, a speaker cable with 1/4” ends connects from one speaker output of the amplifier to the
speaker input of the Ampeg Heritage SVT-410HLF cabinet. An additional cabinet may be connected by
attaching another speaker cable from the remaining 1/4” speaker output of the amplifier to a speaker input of
the next cabinet.
The second example is not as common, but it also works. Plus, it is great for daisy-chaining multiple cabinets.
You may connect a speaker cable with 1/4” or Speakon
speaker input of the Ampeg Heritage SVT-410HLF cabinet. An additional cabinet may be connected by attaching
another speaker cable from an open jack (thru) to the input jack of the next cabinet. Multiple cabinets may be
daisy-chained this way.
WARNING: Always use good quality (non-shielded) speaker cables. Never use (shielded) instrument cables to
connect speakers to an amplifier. Also, do not use both cable routes listed in example #2 above. Use one route
or the other, but not both!

In the first example, a speaker cable with 1/4” or Speakon® ends connects from the speaker output of the
amplifier to the speaker input of the Ampeg Heritage SVT-810E cabinet.
In example number two, a speaker cable with 1/4” ends connects from the speaker output of the amplifier
to the speaker input of the Ampeg Heritage SVT-810E cabinet. An additional speaker cable with 1/4” ends
connects from the speaker output of another amplifier to the speaker input of the Ampeg Heritage SVT-810E
cabinet’s 1/4” Upper 4x10 Dual Mode Input Jack. This allows two amplifiers to separately drive each 4x10
section of the full cabinet.
WARNING: Always use good quality (non-shielded) speaker cables. Never use (shielded) instrument cables to
connect speakers to an amplifier. Also, do not use both cable routes in the first example listed above. Use one
route or the other, but not both!
