In Depth Guide; Front Panel - TRACE ELLIOT AH1200-12 Owner's Manual

IN DEPTH GUIDE

Well done! The very fact that you are reading this section means that you are serious about getting the most
out of your Trace Elliot amplifi er. Although fundamentally easy to use, this guide will hopefully explain
the features of your amplifi er in a way that will unlock all sorts of sonic potential that may have otherwise
remained hidden.
This operating guide covers the features of all the contemporary 12 Band and 7 Band range of amplifi ers. If a
feature is only applicable to particular units then these are shown in brackets next to the heading. Therefore,
if (12 Band) is shown, this section applies to all 12 Band products and not to any 7 Band products.
Where a specifi c model is shown in brackets, e.g. (AH1200-12), then this applies only to that product. The
feature being explained is shown in upper case, the type of control is shown in lower case. If there are any
terms you do not fully understand then please refer to the glossary at the back of this manual.

FRONT PANEL

There are two different front panels used for the range. Aesthetically they are very similar, however closer
inspection shows there are several differences. The 7 BAND has all its primary features on the front, with very
little on the rear, whereas the 12 BAND has many of its features moved to the rear to make space for other
features on the front. Basically the operation is very simple. The signal fl ow runs from left to right through
the functions on the front panel. The status of each function is clearly shown by the corresponding controls
and LEDs, which also match the LEDs on the footcontroller.
