Page 4: Front Panel Features
FRONT PANEL FEATURES Input Jack – Designed to accept a standard 1/4-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 5 Semi-Parametric Equalizer – Allows you to dial in a specific frequency to enhance or cut. This feature is especially useful for upright and acoustic bass guitars that have a resonant frequency. Because we’ve included a bypass switch, you can also use it to create a second tone that is available instantaneously.
- Page 6 BACK PANEL FEATURES Amplifier Power Rating: RMS output (with +3 dB headroom): 200 Watts @ 8 Ohms 320 Watts @ 4 Ohms Cooling System – Your amplifier features a thermostatically controlled fan, which will switch on when the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F. In low volume situations (into 8 Ohm loads) the fan may not come on at all.
- Page 7 To convert your amplifier from US to European fusing, remove the Fuse Holder and insert a 2 Amp slow blow fuse. Flip the fuse holder over and reinsert. IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to operate properly in parts of the world not listed above, your amplifier may require minor modifications. These modifications should be made by a QUALIFIED technician.

Page 8: About The Speakers
Even Neater, don’t you think? ABOUT THE SPEAKERS Eden is the only bass amplifier manufacturer to design, engineer and build its own drivers. Designing and building our own speakers and high- frequency drivers allows us to create far greater synergy between our drivers and cabinets than any other manufacturer can achieve. -
Page 9: Initial Setup
The speaker cable should be as short as possible. INITIAL SET UP As bassists, each of us has in our head a concept of our perfect sound. Eden amplifiers are designed to help you easily achieve the sound you hear inside you. - Page 10 IMPORTANT NOTE: Before you plug in your unit for the first time, please do the following things. First, turn the power switch to the OFF position. Check the back of your unit for the correct voltage notation for your county of operation. Once you’ve ensured correct voltage, set the Master Volume control to minimum (fully counter-clockwise).
- Page 11 While playing your lowest note (or loudest), slowly turn the Input Gain up until the Set Level light begins to blink with regularity. If you go past 2 or 3 o’clock, you may engage the Gain Switch to better match the gain of your instrument to the amplifier.
- Page 12 Slowly bring the Enhance control up while playing. If you turn it up close to 12:00 on the dial and still don’t have your sound, stop there. Return the Enhance to OFF or leave it at no more than 12:00 and work with the EQ section.
- Page 13 Begin with the frequency control fully counterclockwise. Turn the Level control to approximately 9:00. Now, while playing, rotate the frequency control to the right a little at a time. You should be able to easily hear the frequencies this first set of controls affects. Now, cut the Level control to approximately 3:00 and do the same thing.
- Page 14 (particularly cymbals and electric guitars) obscure the important upper harmonic content of your sound. As a result, you find that the EQ settings that were so perfect at home lack definition in a live setting. On the other hand, the stage settings that worked so well sound harsh and/or thin in the absence of other instruments.

Page 15: More On Speakers
MORE ON SPEAKERS Break-In Period – We recommend that you use your RS combo at low to moderate volume levels for approximately ten hours before using it in a high volume situation. This will allow the suspension components to “seat” themselves and the speaker to break in. -
Page 16: Maintenance
Headphone Jack as a Line Driver – On some occasions (such as high- volume or outdoor situations) it may be desirable to use your RS combo 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. - Page 17 DO NOT continue to use the amplifier in this condition. Learn More – If you’d like to learn more about your amplifier (or about our company and its activities), we invite you to visit our website – www.eden- electronics.com. There you’ll find articles to help you better understand our products and the technical stuff some people find so interesting.
