EDEN | METROMIX SERIES | BEFORE YOU PLUG IN - 5
BEFORE YOU PLUG IN
Before you plug in and switch on your amplifier please ensure you understand how to correctly operate your unit.
Incorrect operation may lead to undesirable results or unit failure.
IMPORTANT: WTX amplifiers are fitted with a protection circuit to prevent damage during normal usage. In order to ensure that your amplifier performs at its optimum capacity ensure that ventilation holes are kept clear and never disconnect the internal fan for any reason.
Ensuring correct loading: When operating your unit ensure that you always use a suitable speaker load. Different loads will change the output power of your amplifier, unbalanced loads or unacceptable impedances may damage you cabinets or the amplifier itself. Advice on cabinet loading is included with all Eden Cabinets.
Operating without loads (All models) Even though our Wold tour amplifiers are designed to perform on stage they are equally capable as a studio or practice tool. To operate without a load simply take your signal from the DI output or through a set of Headphones.

ANTES DE CONECTARTE
Antes de conectarte y encender el amplificador asegúrate que entiendes como operar adecuadamente la unidad.
Un manejo incorrecto puede ocasionar malos resultados o fallos en el aparato.
IMPORTANTE: Los amplificadores WTX incorporan un circuito de protección para prevenir daños durante su uso normal. Para asegurar que tu equipo funciona de la manera más óptima asegúrate que los agujeros de ventilación no estén obstruidos y nunca desconectes el ventilador interno.
Asegura una carga correcta: Cuando tu amplificador esté funcionando asegúrate de haber conectado la carga de bafle correcta. Cargas distintas cambiarán la potencia del amplificador, cargas discordantes o literalmente inaceptables pueden dañar el bafle o el propio amplificador. La información sobre la carga de bafles se suministra con todos los bafles de Eden.
Funcionar sin cargas (Todos los modelos). Aunque nuestros amplificadores se han diseñado para su funcionamiento en los escenarios, también son ideales para práctica en casa o en el estudio. Para funcionar sin carga de bafles simplemente coge la señal de la salida DI o a través de unos auriculares.
