Rear Panel Features; Other Considerations - Eden Never Compromise WT405 Operation Manual

We recommend you engage these switches at low volumes so that your
sound remains consistent at any volume. At higher volume levels they aren't
needed but you may want to use them as a matter of taste. Because we
strongly support Freedom of Choice, we've incorporated these two switches
into our design. (You're welcome.)
Master Level Control – Adjusts overall system output and stage loudness.
Headphone Jack – Accepts a standard 1/4-inch stereo or mono headphone
plug. It can also be used as a Master Output send to slave another amplifier.
Output Limit Indicator – Lights to indicate activity of the power amplifier
limiting circuit, which protects the speaker system from severe distortion.
This LED indicates that the amplifier has reached its maximum output level.
Mains On/Off Switch – This switch turns the system power ON or OFF.
The switch illuminates to indicate the presence of AC power present in the
chassis. This switch is prior to the fuse. The switch light can be on even if
the fuse is blown. The light in the switch may flicker depending on local
voltage conditions. This is normal and nothing to be concerned about.
Speaker On/Off Switch – This switch turns off the loudspeaker output
jacks allowing the user to use the headphones only for silent practice. Room
mates and neighbors may really appreciate this feature, especially at three in
the morning.

REAR PANEL FEATURES

Combination Power Cord Jack and Fuse Holder – The removable power
cord is attached here. To access the fuse holder, pull the holder out of the top
of the power receptacle. Your unit was shipped with a spare fuse inserted in
the fuse carrier. USE ONLY THE SAME SIZE AND TYPE FOR
REPLACMENT. Using a fuse with a different rating than specified is a
VERY BAD THING and can cause damage to your amplifier.
All models come with a holder marked (FUSE) and are factory configured
for 100/120/ 230/240 only and must be adapted by a service tech for any
voltage change. The standard fuse for U.S. use is a 5 Amp slow blow or time
delay type. Do not use fast blow fuses.

YOU'RE DONE. GO PLAY.
There you have it: a quick and easy process to help you get the perfect tone
from your Eden amplifier. As previously mentioned, it make take a few
extra minutes the first few times you go through this, especially if you take
the time to experiment with all the knobs and switches, which we highly
recommend.
We are confident that the time you spend getting to know your new friend is
an important investment, one that will pay off immeasurably in Great Bass
Tone. And, after all, that's why you bought an Eden, right?

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Suggested Speaker Systems – Your speaker system(s) should be chosen to
accommodate the characteristics of your amplifier and your predominant
application. If you will generally be using a single speaker cabinet, it should
be an 8 Ohm model. If you are uncertain about your future needs, always go
with the 8 Ohm speaker option so that you can add another speaker later if
you need to. In general, adding more speakers will give you a greater
volume increase than adding a few more watts.
We have designed our amplifiers to operate safely at 2 Ohms only because
everyone else is doing it and some users expect it. However, we much prefer
operating at 8 or 4 Ohms because of the markedly improved quality of tone
and dynamic response. But if you really want to, you can operate your
WT405 amplifier at 2 Ohms without worry.
Headphone Jack as a Line Driver – On some occasions (such as high-
volume or outdoor situations) it may be desirable to use the WT405 along
with an additional power amplifier and added cabinets. A standard shielded
instrument cable may be used to connect from the headphone jack of the unit
to an unbalanced input of a standard power amplifier. This will provide a
signal that is post-EQ and after the Master Volume control, allowing the
entire system to be controlled from the WT405. This way, you only have to
adjust one set of knobs. This is a Really Neat Thing, huh?
