- Page 5 FRONT PANEL FEATURES Input Jack – Designed to accept a standard ¼ 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 6 Three Band Tone Controls – Divides the audio spectrum into three bands: Bass, Mid, and Treble. The Bass and Treble controls are shelving type filters. The Mid control is a band pass type filter. These controls give you a broad general control of the tone shaping. Master Volume –...
- Page 7 The cooling system also features a high temperature thermal safety system, which will activate a circuit if the operating temperature goes above 200 degrees F. This circuit will automatically turn off the output of the system in the event of overheating. It will automatically reset itself as soon as the unit cools down to a safe operating temperature.
- Page 8 IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to operate properly in other parts of the world, your amplifier may require minor modifications. These modifications must be made by a QUALIFIED technician. Contact your local distributor for further information. Speaker Outputs – These consist of two ¼ inch jacks and two NL-4 connector (sometimes called a Speakon).
- Page 9 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 Setting the Compressor - If you want to use compression, engage it now by turning the Compressor Defeat switch OFF. The compressor light will now blink when your gain goes above the compression threshold. This will generally show up more on the lower notes, or when you employ Slapping. (A properly compressed Slap sound is very cool, indeed.) If you want more compression, increase the Input Gain a little at a time, until you achieve the amount of compression you desire.
- Page 12 Using the EQ Controls – Before you begin to twiddle knobs, let’s talk about a few things. Excessive boosting of one or more EQ frequencies may cause an overload in the EQ section. If this happens, the EQ Clip light will engage.
- Page 13 Here are a couple of tips to help you dial in your desired tone: For a great fretless tone, dial in a little extra at approximately 550Hz. For extra grind for Rock and other aggressive music, add a little at 1-1.2KHz or 2-2.2KHz –...

- Page 15 Headphone Jack as a Line Driver – On some occasions (such as high- volume or outdoor situations) it may be desirable to use the NA320 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.
