Technical Data; Smart Mode - Hughes & Kettner SPIRIT AMPMAN Series Manual

Your amp comes with AES activated (the mini switch is set to the right
to the On position). In this mode, the amp shuts down if it's left to idle
continuously for around 90 minutes. Any kind of input signal, even a
briefly played note, will bring the amp back on line, resetting its internal
auto shutdown clock to the 90-minute timeout period. If AES shuts the
amp down, you can wake it up by engaging the Power button. Slide the
mini switch to the right if you wish to deactivate AES and its automatic
shutdown function.

Speaker: Designed to drive speaker cabinets with impedances from
4 to 16 ohms, this speaker out lets you connect any kind of guitar speaker
cabinet, from small enclosures up to a full 4x12" stack. Yes, your AmpMan
can drive even the biggest of speakers!
Caution: If you wish to connect two speaker cabinets, always make sure
they are of the same type. NEVER mix the two by connecting one of each
type! If you want to connect two cabinets, make sure the impedance of
each cabinet is 8 ohms minimum, as the overall impedance is halved in
a parallel circuit.
The Hughes & Kettner TS 112 Pro, TM 112 and TM 212 speakers come
highly recommended. Each has an impedance of 16 ohms and a parallel
output that lets you connect a second speaker of the same type.

VDC: Input jack for the included power supply. AmpMan comes
with a universal power supply that works reliably at any mains voltage
worldwide and maintains the sound quality wherever you go. Please only
use the original power supply.
Caution: Always connect the power supply to AmpMan first, and then
connect the power supply to a wall outlet.

3 Smart Mode

AmpMan's Smart mode lets you store Boost and FX Loop settings for each
channel. For example, you could enable Boost and the FX Loop in Channel
B and disable these functions for Channel A. The amp will recall these
settings when you switch channels, so a single touch of a button lets you
switch from a dry rhythm sound in Channel A to a wet lead sound in
Channel B with Boost and the FX Loop activated. The amp ships with
Smart mode deactivated.
Activating/deactivating Smart mode: Simultaneously press and hold the
Solo and Channel A/B for three seconds – that is, the two switches at the far
left and right – to set AmpMan to Smart mode. The Channel LEDs will flash
to confirm you have activated Smart mode. AmpMan retains this setting
even after you switch the device off. The same procedure deactivates
Smart mode.
Heads up: There is no indicator to tell you Smart mode is active. If you
want to check to make sure, simply switch Boost on in Channel A and off
in Channel B. AmpMan is in Smart mode if Boost remains active when you
switch back to Channel A.
