Page 2: Operation Manual
The Eden World Tour products group is the result of our quest for ultimate bass tone and maximum reliability. Your amplifier was designed, engineered and manufactured equivalent to aircraft vibration standards and housed in a one-piece aluminum case with steel top to ensure maximum reliability. - Page 3 The Eden line of World Tour amplifiers is the result of our research and development in combining high performance and compact size. Just as a skilled craftsman needs good quality tools that won't let him down on the job, so does a good musician. We hope you enjoy the tool we’ve created for you.

FRONT PANEL FEATURES Input Jack – Designed to accept a standard _ inch mono phone plug. For best results use a high quality shielded cable to connect your instrument to the amplifier. The input is buffered and will handle standard passive, high level active, and piezo input signals. - Page 6 Amp Mode. In all other modes of operation, this feature is defeated. Mono Bridge Switch – Engages Bridge Mono Operation. To engage, push the switch IN. Mono Bridge Indicator – Lights to show that the amp is in Bridge Mono mode. EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT engage Mono Bridge in combination with bi-amp operation.

RMS. When connecting this cabinet to the WT800B in Bridge Mode, it will receive approximately 1000 Watts RMS, which is a near-perfect match. Left/High Amp Output – These consist of two _ inch jacks and an NL-4 connector (sometimes called a Speakon). The jacks are wired in parallel. The total speaker load impedance should not go below 2 ohms. - Page 8 Do not use fast blow fuses. To convert your amplifier from US to European fusing, remove the Fuse Holder and insert a 5 Amp slow blow fuse. Flip the fuse holder over and reinsert. IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to operate properly in other parts of the world, your amplifier may require minor modifications.
- Page 9 D.I. Level – Controls the level being sent from the XLR balanced output jack. We suggest setting the control at approximately 12 o’clock initially. If the signal to the board is too hot, it’s better to engage the Input Pad on your channel of the board than to turn it down here, if at all possible.

Mono Bridge Output. The total impedance of all speakers connected to each of the amplifiers should not exceed 2 Ohms. Make sure that the Bi-amp and Bridge Mono switches are both OFF. In the OFF position, both switches should be flush with the face of the amplifier. - Page 12 &/or speakers. We’re serious about this. Pay attention.

- Page 14 Once you have properly set your Input Gain, turn the Master Volume up to a comfortable listening level and proceed with the rest of the setup process. Setting the Compressor - If you want to use compression, engage it now by turning the Compressor Defeat switch OFF.
- Page 15 If EQ clipping occurs, you can either decrease the boost or decrease the Input Gain. Remember, too, that our EQ controls are active, and are meant to turn both ways – not just UP! This means that you can enhance a certain frequency spectrum either by boosting that frequency or by cutting the adjacent frequencies.
