Summary of Contents for Carr Mercury Amp

  • Page 1 CARR AMPLIFIERS OWNER’S MANUAL Revised 23 Feb 2012...
  • Page 3 Mercury Instructions Thank you for purchasing a Carr Mercury. The Mercury is an astonishingly versatile amplifier—especially when it comes to home and studio use. The unique built-in attenuator allows full output tube overdrive to be used at real world home volumes, freeing you to enjoy the visceral sound and feel of a cranked, overdriven power section.

    On – Off – On – Selects between two ON positions and the OFF position (middle). The two ON’s are wired in opposite phase of each other. If you receive a shock from another piece of equipment (a microphone or another amp) that is not properly grounded, or if you hear static, switching to the opposite ON may solve the problem.
  • Page 5 If you are uncomfortable with the above instructions, please see a qualified electronics technician for bias adjustments. Carr Amplifiers selects and tests the finest current production tubes specifically for each amplifier model. Caution should be used when buying replacement tubes from any dealer who does not have a return policy as all tubes can have problems (NOS tubes are susceptible to microphonics and failure too).
