B. - Page 3 SUPER REDHEAD OWNER’S MANUAL INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of an SWR Super Redhead professional bass amp combo. By choosing an SWR bass amplification system you have made a sound decision that could very well be the best of your life! Just a little humor there, but true nonetheless.

Players who roll off their high end starting at about 2 or 3kHz may find this input more to their liking. If you hear distortion when using an active instrument in the Active Input jack, check your battery! Also, make sure that none of the clip indicators are lit.

Since some of these notes can be felt more than heard, it is especially important to keep an eye on the preamp and power amp clip LEDs. Constant clipping of these frequencies can diminish the life of Super Redhead’s internal speakers or cause them to fail.

Page 8: Ground/Lift Switch
When using the Balanced XLR out, this feature may help in eliminating ground loops between your Super Redhead and an external mixing board. Normal setting for this switch is in the “Ground” posi- tion. When switched to “Lift,” the ground (Pin 1 as noted above) is lifted. In some cases, this will eliminate unwanted hum. -

SEND To use an effect in the Effects Loop of your Super Redhead, connect a shielded patch cable from the Send jack to the input of your effects unit. The output impedance of the Send jack is 100 ohms. This jack may also be used as a line level output for use in conjunction with an external “slave”... - Page 10 When using an external speaker, make sure the total impedance of any external speaker enclosure(s) is no less than 4 ohms (the Super Redhead is designed to drive a minimum impedance of no less than 2 ohms). In most cases, we recommend the use of a single 8 ohm extension speaker.

SPEAKER AND HORN FUSES These fuses are provided for protection of the Super Redhead’s internal speakers and horn/tweeter in the unlikely event of a power amp failure (or vice-versa). The fuses can also blow due to improper connections, shorted speaker cable, or playing while connecting or disconnecting speaker cabinets. -

SPRING-LOADED RUBBER-GRIP HANDLES The handles on either side of the Super Redhead were chosen for their “rattle free” properties and the extra-thick rubber padded grips. The handle placement allows for near perfect balance (meaning the unit should not tilt forward or backward when carried). - Page 13 Scottsdale, AZ 85250-2618 USA PHONE: (480) 596-9690 FAX: (480) 367-5262 EMAIL: custserve@fenderusa.com WEB: swrsound.com Copyright © 2004 SWR Super Redhead • P/N 0066580000 • 09/04 from SWR is warranted to the original consumer purchaser for TWO SUPER REDHEAD OWNER’S MANUAL • 11...
