Trace Acoustic TAB100 Operating Instructions Manual

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS

TAB100

INTRODUCTION

The TAB100 is a 100watt combo amplifier that has been specifically designed for the amplification
of the double bass and/or acoustic bass instruments.

All Trace Acoustic Amplifiers are supplied with a moulded mains cable for connecting
power to the mains inlet socket located on the rear panel of the unit.

The Power On/Off Switch is located on the rear panel and fully isolates the Live and
Neutral.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

Inputs

The TAB100 has two independent channels to allow a different EQ and gain setting to be achieved
from two separate pickups if required.

Channel 1

Two instrument inputs have been provided on the HIGH Z (high impedance) channel 1 to cope
with the wide variety of different types of acoustic pickup and the equally wide variation in signal
level from different pickup and instrument combinations.

Piezo/Lo Level

The first of these is the PIEZO/LO LEVEL input, which suits any kind of pickup that does not have
its own built in preamp (especially piezo pickups). It has a very high input impedance that gives
excellent results with many types of passive pickup.
This input may also be used with active acoustic guitars that have a low level output signal.

Active/Hi Level

The second input is the ACTIVE/HI LEVEL input; this should be used with instruments or pickups
that produce a high signal output that may overload the PIEZO/LO LEVEL input.

2

Input Gain - Signal Level Indication

The GAIN control should be set in conjunction with the SIGNAL LEVEL INDICATING LED. Setting
this control correctly may also influence the decision on which input to use. When correctly set
the amplifier will perform with very little background noise. It is therefore important to set the
gain control correctly using the following procedure:-

1. Plug the instrument into the appropriate input chosen from the previous descriptions.

2. Set the graphic to flat.

3. Play the instrument in the way you wish to use it (e.g. plucked, slapped, bowed, etc.).

4. Increase the GAIN control until the LEVEL INDICATION LED lights up green for most of the
time while playing.

5. Advance the GAIN control further such that on heavy playing the LED changes from green
to red.

6. Decrease the GAIN control slightly to allow a margin of safety.

7. If the LED cannot be made to register red while using the ACTIVE/HI LEVEL input then
transfer your input to the PIEZO/LO LEVEL input and re-adjust the gain, as from 3.

IMPORTANT When correctly set, the green LED should light for most of the playing time.

NOTE As the LEVEL INDICATION LED is driven from after both the GRAPHIC and SHAPE circuits,

it may be necessary to re-adjust the GAIN control once these have been selected/altered.

Hi Trim/Lo Trim

The HI and LO TRIM controls have been provided to “trim” the sound from the user’s
instrument/pickup combinations to achieve a fundamentally flat response prior to any tailoring of
the sound with the graphic of shape facilities.

Channel 2

The channel 2 input operates in exactly the same way as the PIEZO/LO LEVEL input of channel 1.

Input Gain - Signal Level Indication

Set the GAIN control in the same way as channel 1.

3

Hi Trim/Lo Trim Channel 2

The HI and LO TRIM controls have been provided to “trim” the sound from the user’s
instrument/pickup combination to achieve a fundamentally flat response prior to any tailoring of
the sound with the graphic or shape facilities.
The HI TRIM controls on CHANNEL 1 and CHANNEL 2 have been set at different frequencies to
allow the two channels to be used for different purposes, e.g. CHANNEL 1 as a “plucked” input
and CHANNEL 2 as a “bowed” input. This arrangement is also useful for treating the outputs of
two independent pickups separately. Some upright bass players prefer to mount a second piezo
pickup under the fingerboard of their instrument to amplify the percussive “slap” produced by
some playing techniques. Channel 2 allows the second pickup’s output to be independently
processed in this situation.

Graphic Equalisation

The five bands of graphic equalisation offered, have their centre frequencies chosen specifically to
suit the acoustic guitar signal and may be used to adjust the sound of the instrument to your
liking.
Avoid extreme settings on any slider as these are unlikely to give any useful results.

Notch Filter

All models in the Trace Acoustic series include a NOTCH FILTER that can be switched IN or OUT.
This is included as an anti-feedback device to allow amplification of an acoustic or double bass
without trouble from feedback caused by the resonance of the body of the instrument.
What is a NOTCH FILTER? Basically, what a NOTCH FILTER does is to remove a very narrow band
of frequencies from the response of the amplifier. If this band of frequencies is narrow enough it
will not be missed from the wide band of frequency response of the unit. This band, of “notch”, is
then made tuneable so that it can be adjusted to the resonant frequency of the body of the bass,
thus reducing the amplification at that particular frequency and eliminating the feedback.
Why is this necessary? Most pickups on an acoustic or double bass are usually mounted on or
near the bridge of the instrument, at the centre of the front of the soundboard. This picks up the
vibration of the strings but also picks up the vibration of the soundboard itself. The soundboard,
being a relatively large area, will also pick up the sound of the speaker. This will be amplified via
the pickup and amplifier and cause feedback to occur at the resonant frequency of the
soundboard.
Each instrument will have its own resonant frequency and it is this frequency that you must
adjust the NOTCH FILTER control to find. The most effective way of doing this is to deaden the
strings of the bass, turn the amplifier up loud until feedback occurs, switch in the NOTCH FILTER
and adjust it until the feedback disappears. This has then set the NOTCH FILTER to your particular
instrument.

4

Further problems can occur at high volumes when the strings themselves start to feed back.
However the only way to reduce this is to move further away from the amplifier, as notching out
the frequency of each string would leave you with no sound at all.

The Shape Facility

On the TAB100 the SHAPE facility is turned on via the “push” switch located next to the graphic
master EQ section.
The shape facility is actually a pre determined fixed EQ that is switched in to add an instant
“BASS BOOST” and more “ATTACK” to the sound that is appropriate to both plucked or slapped
playing styles.
The shape facility also cuts some of the mid frequencies from the sound and so many be
inappropriate to some styles of playing as notes on the top string and in the upper registers may
lose a little of their sustain.
Remember, these amplifiers are designed specifically for use with acoustic instruments and,
consequently, any pre-conceived ideas arrived at through the use of other amplifiers do not
necessarily hold true with the Trace Acoustic range.

Mater Level

The MASTER LEVEL control sets the overall output of the amplifier and, providing the GAIN
controls have been correctly set, this should not have to be set very high. Having the MASTER
LEVEL control set high and the GAIN set low will only result in more unnecessary noise being
added to the amplifier and will tend to degrade the signal.

DI Sockets

The TAB100 has two DI sockets; these are balanced XLR outputs for “pre EQ” and “post EQ”
direct injection to a mixing desk.
As they are balanced outputs, they may be plugged directly into a mixer’s balanced low
impedance inputs using pin 2 and 3 of the XLR to avoid any earth loops being created.

Effects Send and Return Sockets

The TAB100 has a mono effects send and return loop built into their system. If you intend using
any external effects with the amplifier then always make use of these sockets. The reason for this
is that the inputs to the units perfectly match the output from your bass, both in impedance and
signal level. If you now put an effect unit between your bass and the amplifier’s input, you will
find that the signal from your bass has become degraded.
If, however, you use your effects within the effects loop provided, (where the inputs and outputs
have been designed to match the effects unit best), then signal degradation will not occur,
resulting in a far better overall sound.
Any external effects will also be included in the post EQ DI signal.

The Link Facility

The TAB100 has a single LINK jack socket provided for linking two units together. To use this
facility, simply connect a jack to jack cable from one LINK socket to the other. Both units will then
be directly connected, with their MASTER LEVEL controls adjusting the individual level of each
unit. All other facilities and inputs will become common to both units (e.g. if you plug into their
unit, the sound will come from both; if you add reverb, this will come from both, etc.)

The Speaker

The TAB100 uses a single 15” speaker specially developed to accurately reproduce the sound of
an upright/acoustic bass. This speaker was chosen for its ability to handle a wide band of
frequencies essential for clear reproduction of an acoustic signal.
The speaker enclosure, though small, has been rear ported and specifically designed to ensure
optimum low frequency response with the minimum amount of air noise, although a degree of
this may be noticed at higher volumes.

Dynamic Correction

To assist the speaker further in the accurate reproduction of the acoustic bass signal, an
electronic system called DYNAMIC CORRECTION is used.
This is a unique system developed by Trace Elliot that monitors exactly the way in which the
speakers react to the signal being presented to them and compares this directly with the original
input signal. Any differences detected are “dynamically corrected”, ensuring that the speakers
reproduce the original signal with an exceptionally high degree of accuracy.
The result is a totally clean sound, right up to the maximum sound of the amplifier.

6

Power Output Stage

The DYNAMIC CORRECTION is incorporated actually within the output stage of the amplifier,
sensing the motion of the speaker and feeding this back to the power section for instantaneous
correction if required.
Every part of the TAB100 has been designed specifically for the accurate reproduction of an
acoustic bass signal. This includes the case, the speaker, the dynamic correction, etc. in a
development program assisted by both acoustic bass manufacturers and players.

EMC Warning

It is inherent in the design of a loudspeaker and in the design of guitar pickups that they should
emit or be affected by electro magnetic fields. Trace Elliot loudspeaker enclosures should not be
used less than 2 metres away from equipment which is likely to be affected by electro magnetic
interference.
Likewise, guitars fitted with electro magnetic pickups should not be used less than 2 metres away
from any source of electro magnetic emissions such as loudspeakers.
Emissions from loudspeakers are dependent on the frequency characteristic of the drive unit.
Levels were measured direct from the drivers of 30 dBuV.
These levels are reduced to a safe level at a distance of 1.27 metres from the drivers.

Aviso CEM

É inerente ao design de alto-falantes e ao design de reprodutores de guitarras que devem emitir
ou ser afectados por campos electromagnéticos. As coberturas dos alto-falantas Trace Elliot não
devem ser usadas a menos de 2 metros do equipamento que pode ser afectado pela interferíncia
electromagnética.
Igualmente, as guitarras equipadas com reprodutores electromagnéticos não devem ser usadas
a menos de 2 metros da fonte de emissões electromagnéticas tais como alto-falantes.
As emissões dos alto-falantes dependem da característica de frequíncia da unidade accionadora.
Os níveis foram medidos directamente de accionadores de 30 dBuV.
Estes níveis são reduzidos para um nível seguro a uma distância de 1,27m dos accionadores.

ISTRUZIONI PER LA SICUREZZA

Avvertenza

Per assicurarsi di essere sempre protetti contro il rischio di incendi, sostituire i fusibili soltanto
con altri dello stesso tipo e potenza.
Non esporre l'attrezzatura alla pioggia o umidità per ridurre il rischio di incendi o shock elettrici.
Se si sospetta una malfunzione, consultare sempre un tecnico esperto in questo settore.
L'attrezzatura deve essere messa a terra. I fili sono stati colorati secondo il codice seguente:

Giallo e verde - Terra Blu - Neutro Marrone - Sotto tensione

Dato che i colori dei fili nel cavo elettrico del prodotto possono non corrispondere ai segni
colorati che identificano i terminali della spina, procedere come segue:–

Il filo di color giallo e verde deve essere collegato al terminale nella spina marcata con la lettera E
o con il simbolo terra, oppure di colore verde o verde e giallo.
Il filo di colore blu deve essere collegato al terminale che mostra la lettera N oppure di color
nero.
Il filo di color marrone deve essere collegato al terminale che mostra la lettera L oppure di color
rosso.
Con una una spina di 13 amp (BS1363), si deve usare un fusibile di 13 amp. Con qualsiasi altro
tipo di spina inserire un fusibile di 15 amp nella spina, nell'adattatore o nel quadro di
distribuzione.

Avvertenza EMC (per la compatibilità elettromagnetica)

Nel design di altoparlanti o di fonorivelatori di una chitarra, è inerente il fatto che raccoglieranno
o saranno influenzati da campi elettromagnetici. Le custodie per altoparlanti Trace Elliott non
dovrebbero essere poste lontano meno di 2 metri dall'attrezzatura che potrebbe risentire
dell'interferenza elettromagnetica.
Allo stesso modo, non usare le chitarre con fonorivelatori elettromagnetici ad una lontananza
inferiore a 2 metri da qualsiasi sorgente di emissioni elettromagnetiche come altoparlanti.
Le emissioni da altoparlanti dipendono dalla caratteristica di frequenza dell'unità di comando.
I livelli sono stati misurati direttamente da unità di comando di 30 dBuV; il livello sicuro è ad una
distanza di 1,27 metri dalle unità.

SIKKERHEDSINSTRUKTIONER

Advarsel

For vedvarende beskyttelse imod risikoen for brand, må sikringerne kun udskiftes med sikringer
af samme type og størrelse.
For at reducere risikoen for brand og elektrisk chok må dette udstyr ikke udsættes for regn eller
fugt.
Hvis man har mistanke om, at der er en fejl i udstyret, skal man altid henvende sig til en
faguddannet servicetekniker.
Dette apparat skal have jordforbindelse. Lederne i el–ledningen er farvet efter følgende kode:

Grøn og gul - Jord Blå - Nulleder Brun - Spændingsførende

Fordi ledernes farver i dette apparats el–ledning evt. ikke svarer til de farvede afmærkninger, der
identificerer klemmerne i stikket, skal man gå frem på følgende måde:
Den leder, som er farvet grøn/gul, skal forbindes med klemmen i stikket, der er afmærket med
bogstavet E eller med jordsymbolet eller som er grøn eller grøn/gul.
Den blå ledning skal forbindes med den klemme, der er afmærket med bogstavet N eller som er
sort.
Den brune ledning skal forbindes med den klemme, der er afmærket med bogstavet L eller som
er rød.
Hvis der anvendes et 13A (BS1363) stik, skal der monteres en 13A sikring. Hvis der anvendes en
anden type stik, skal der sættes en 15A sikring i stikket eller snydeproppen eller på
strømfordelingstavlen.

EMC advarsel

Højttalere og guitar–pickups er konstrueret således, at de udsender eller påvirkes af
elektromagnetiske felter. Trace Elliot højttalerkabinetter må ikke placeres mindre end 2 meter fra
udstyr, der sandsynligvis vil blive påvirket af elektromagnetiske forstyrrelser.
Ligeledes bør guitarer, som er udstyret med elektromagnetiske pickups, ikke anvendes mindre
end 2 meter væk fra en kilde til elektromagnetiske emissioner som f.eks. højttalere.
Emissioner fra højttalere afhænger af drivaggregatets frekvens. Niveauer måles direkte fra
drivaggregater på 30 dBuV.
Disse niveauer reduceres til et sikkert niveau i en afstand af 1,27 m fra drivaggregaterne.
