Foreword

Congratulations on your purchase of your new lightweight Nemesis
Silver Series Combo Amplifier System. All of us at Eden are totally
committed to providing you with the very best bass guitar systems in
their class.

Our goals are to offer you the outstanding performance quality of a top­notch, professional bass amplification system at a reasonable price
point, and to make the Nemesis Silver Series line such a great value
that you really can't afford not to own one.

This manual will cover all versions of the Nemesis Silver Series
Combos. These include the N10S(E), equipped with the NA80 amplifier
unit, and the N12S(E), N15S(E), and N28S(E) models, which are
equipped with the NA120 amplifier unit. The (E) version is the Export
version; however, both units are identical in operation.

The NA80 has 90 watts @ 8 Ohm, 120 watts RMS @ 4 Ohms and the
NA120 has 130 watts @ 8 Ohms, 170 watts RMS @ 4 Ohms. Both have
+3dB of headroom and feature large passive cooling systems with built­in thermal safeties.

The Nemesis Silver Series products group is a revolution in bass guitar
equipment and manufacturing technology. We have taken FET power
device technology, computer-optimized circuit design, and years of
research and testing to evolve our latest electronics package: the
NA80/120. This is a great step forward in performance, reliability, and
value.

We build the Nemesis Silver Series enclosures from void-free, high
quality plywood. The chassis is mounted with 6 mounting bolts to insure
reliability under the most difficult conditions.

The Nemesis Silver Series Combo line is the result of our research and
development in combining high performance and compact size, together
with lightweight construction and great value. It offers a great
performance value for the bass student, teacher, and the working bass
player alike. A skilled craftsman needs good quality tools that won't let
him down on the job, and so does a good musician.

CAUTION!

Your ears are your most important piece of equipment.
Unfortunately, they cannot be replaced as easily as your other
gear. Please take the following warning seriously.

This product, when used in combination with amplification and/or
additional loudspeakers may be capable of producing sound levels
that could cause permanent hearing loss. DO NOT operate at high
volume levels or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience
any discomfort or ringing in the ears or suspect hearing loss, you
should consult an audiologist.

Thank you for your purchase of an Eden Nemesis Series bass
guitar product. This unit has been designed and constructed to
give you years of trouble-free service.
