Summary of Contents for Tone King Ironman II

  • Page 1 Tone King...
  • Page 2 There are two important components to the Ironman II design that make it unique and particularly effective - the tuned reactive load and the transformer coupled power division circuitry.
  • Page 3 Safety Instructions (Important !) Please keep this instruction manual for future reference and for the duration of owning this Tone King product. Please carefully read and understand the instructions inside this user’s manual before attempting to operate your new amp. This instruction manual includes essential safety information regarding the use and maintenance of the amplifier.

Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to the cord in correspondence of plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the amplifier.

    The maximum possible attenuation is -38db. At this setting, nearly all the power from the amplifier is dissipated in the Ironman II, and very little is sent to the speaker. At this setting, you can safely unplug the speaker, and use the Ironman II as a dummy load.
  • Page 7 You'll notice that the Attenuation dial is split into three ranges at the right side of the knob. The Range switch selects between these two ranges, as follows: Solo Switch ON: 0-32db setting The attenuation values shown at left in red are available when the Range switch is in the 0-32db position.

    Ironman, simply set the Speaker Impedance switch to match that speaker's impedance. If you are connecting two speakers to the Ironman II, it is best to use two speakers with the same impedance. If you do this, then the total combined impedance will be 1/2 of each speaker's impedance.
  • Page 9: Line Out

    Line Out The Ironman II's Line-Out jack provides a line-level signal that can be used to drive another amplifier, mixing board, computer sound input, or any other line level input. The specs for this output signal are as follows: • Output Level: approx. 0 - 1V p/p level controlled indirectly through the level of the amplifier •...

    Use as a Dummy Load The Ironman II may be used as a dummy load, to provide a proper load for your amplifier, with no speakers attached. This is typically done in recording, where the Ironman II's Line-Out will be used to drive a mixing board, or when an amplifier is being "slaved"...
  • Page 11: What To Expect When Attenuating

    What to Expect When Attenuating Although the Ironman II attenuator does an excellent job of reducing output power without changing the tone of the amp’s circuitry, there are other variables in play at lower volume which do result in some apparent tone change. Here are a few factors...
