WARNING! Never turn on or use the amplifier without a load or speaker connected to the amplifier.
ALWAYS use a good quality (non-shielded) speaker cable. Never use (shielded) instrument cable.
ALWAYS match the amplifier's speaker output impedance to the impedance of the speaker
that is being used. Use only one type impedance output at a time. If more than one speaker is
connected at the same time, make sure they all have the same impedance rating. Never use
two or more cabinets with different impedance ratings. This will create an unbalanced load.
When using multiple speaker cabinets (with the same impedance rating), match the total load
impedance of the speaker cabinets to the speaker output of the amplifier.
SPEAKER CABINET IMPEDANCE divided by NUMBER OF CABINETS = TOTAL LOAD
4 x 16 ohm cabinets with parallel inputs = 4 ohm load. For this application use 4 ohm output jacks.
2 x 16 ohm cabinets = 8 ohm load. For this application use the 8 ohm speaker jacks.
1 x 16 ohm cabinet = 16 ohm load. For this application use the 16 ohm speaker jack.
2 x 8 ohm cabinets = 4 ohm load. For this application use the 4 ohm output jacks.
1 x 8 ohm cabinet = 8 ohm load. For this application use the 8 ohm speaker jack.
1 x 4 ohm cabinet = 4 ohm load. For this application use the 4 ohm speaker jack.
9. AC Power Input with Mains Fuse
Assembly: Your amplifier is equipped
with a detachable power cable that
plugs into the IEC Mains socket on the
back of the amplifier. The AC power
cord should only be plugged into a
grounded power outlet that meets all
applicable electrical codes and is com-
patible with the voltage, power, and fre-
quency requirements stated on the rear
panel of the amplifier. Do not attempt
to defeat the safety ground connection.
The AC Mains fuse is located in the IEC
Mains socket and is used to protect
the amplifier from electrical faults. If
the fuse needs to be replaced, please
refer to the correct fuse specifications
located on the back panel of the ampli-
fier. Never bypass the fuse or replace it
with a wrong type or value.

10. 16 OHMS: The 16 ohms speaker
output jack is designated for 16
ohm speaker cabinets only, like the
Blackheart BH112.
11. 8 OHMS: The two 8 ohms speaker out-
put jacks are wired in parallel. Use a sin-
gle jack when using one 8 ohm speaker
cabinet. Use both speaker jacks when
using two 16 ohm speaker cabinets.
12. 4 OHMS: The two 4 ohms speaker
output jacks are wired in parallel. Use
a single jack when using one 4 ohm
speaker cabinet. Use both speaker
jacks when using two 8 ohm speaker
cabinets. If you have four 16 ohm cabi-
nets with parallel speaker jacks (i.e.,
Blackheart 112 or 412 Cabinet), you
can link all four 16 ohm cabinets in a
parallel wiring configuration, totaling a
4 ohm load.
