Owner's Manual

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION – The SHUTTLE 9.2 represents the 2nd generation of our widely acclaimed SHUTTLE
series of light weight, high output bass amplifiers. This model has been designed with our unique ULTRA LIGHT
unified design process, yielding a 900 watt professional high powered tour-class bass guitar amplifier, weighing only
®
4 lbs! This 2nd generation SHUTTLE amplifier now incorporates our unique 3-Dimensional Power Management
circuitry along with other enhancements like increased tube gain and high efficiency thermal management.
Our proprietary 3DPM™ technology insures greater and more solid sounding output while retaining the feel and
playability of a more traditional tube based power amplifier. When driving the power amp hard the player can feel
increased heft and girth of the individual notes, while maintaining dynamics and articulation. The result is an amplifier
that achieves a more 3 dimensional tone and feel, like a tube amplifier power section, without the anemic flatness
other amplifier designs can exhibit. As well, our PATENTED P.H.A.T. (Proprietary Heat Abatement Technology)
®
topology enhances the SHUTTLE 9.2 and insures robust and reliable, high output performance in a tremendously
compact and convenient package; blending the best of analog and digital platforms to produce the ultimate in warmth,
punch and power.
®
The SHUTTLE 9.2 is equipped with a ¼" unbalanced instrument input, preamp stage clip detector, mute switch
with LED indicator, 12AX7 tube preamp with extended range variable input gain, 3 switched signal shape filters with
LED indicators, 3 band active equalization with sweepable midrange frequency, master volume control, proprietary
3DPM™ power management, ¼" tuner output, aux. input, effects loop, balanced direct out with ground lift/pre-post/
mic-line switches, head phone output, and 2 Neutrik NL-4 "Speak-On"™ speaker jacks.
The power amp is a powerful, light weight Class D design and is supported by a state-of-the-art high frequency
Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS), which does away with the weight of a traditional power transformer. For global
®
performance requirements the SHUTTLE 9.2's power supply is usable from 100-240 volts, lending itself well to
international touring players.
