TRACE ELLIOT 12 Band Serie Manual De Usuario página 7

Congratulations on your purchase of a Trace Elliot product. Our experience in design and quality of
manufacturing will ensure that you will be able to rely on this product to deliver the solid
professional sound you deserve, whether in the studio or on stage.
This Trace Elliot range is the latest evolution of a line of products that were always known for their
sophisticated features, high quality construction, use of state of the art technology and reliability.
Many of the original ideas have become industry standards and are included within this range,
however, around these are even more features to inspire musicians to create the music that they
want to hear.
The range features two types of preamp simply called 12 Band and 7 Band. This refers to the
number of frequency bands of control within the graphic equalizer. There are several differences
between the two preamp sections which are outlined below. In addition to the preamp, different
models have different rear panel features, different power levels and, in the case of the combos,
different speaker configurations.
High quality parts have been used throughout. In keeping with traditional Trace Elliot amplifiers,
the INPUT GAIN and OUTPUT LEVEL controls use parts that have 'detents' to give a professional
feel.
All the switchable features on these amplifiers are split into two types: pre-set and performance.
➢ Pre-set functions are those which will be set at the start and are unlikely to be changed again
during a performance. These all use latching type switches which means they have an 'in' and an
'out' setting and will click when changing settings.
➢
Performance functions are those which it is likely the user will want to switch on or off
throughout a performance. These all use non-latching type switches which ultimately control
FETs to switch the particular function on or off. The switching is extremely quiet and therefore
will not be heard during a performance. The front panel switch does not click when pressed and
only needs to be pressed lightly to operate. In all cases the appropriate LED for that function will
be lit/unlit as it is switched. All these functions are also conveniently footswitchable using the
supplied footcontroller.
When a part of the circuitry is switched off then that particular part is completely bypassed,
retaining signal integrity. Also, correct signal phase is maintained from all outputs regardless of
which functions are switched on or off.
Caution: Please look over this guide and read any caution or warning statements found within.
Following these warnings is crucial to your personal safety and the safety of your Trace Elliot
product.
