Effects Send and Return Sockets
The TAB100 has a mono effects send and return loop built into their system. If you intend using
any external effects with the amplifier then always make use of these sockets. The reason for this
is that the inputs to the units perfectly match the output from your bass, both in impedance and
signal level. If you now put an effect unit between your bass and the amplifier's input, you will
find that the signal from your bass has become degraded.
If, however, you use your effects within the effects loop provided, (where the inputs and outputs
have been designed to match the effects unit best), then signal degradation will not occur,
resulting in a far better overall sound.
Any external effects will also be included in the post EQ DI signal.
The Link Facility
The TAB100 has a single LINK jack socket provided for linking two units together. To use this
facility, simply connect a jack to jack cable from one LINK socket to the other. Both units will then
be directly connected, with their MASTER LEVEL controls adjusting the individual level of each
unit. All other facilities and inputs will become common to both units (e.g. if you plug into their
unit, the sound will come from both; if you add reverb, this will come from both, etc.)
The Speaker
The TAB100 uses a single 15" speaker specially developed to accurately reproduce the sound of
an upright/acoustic bass. This speaker was chosen for its ability to handle a wide band of
frequencies essential for clear reproduction of an acoustic signal.
The speaker enclosure, though small, has been rear ported and specifically designed to ensure
optimum low frequency response with the minimum amount of air noise, although a degree of
this may be noticed at higher volumes.
Dynamic Correction
To assist the speaker further in the accurate reproduction of the acoustic bass signal, an
electronic system called DYNAMIC CORRECTION is used.
This is a unique system developed by Trace Elliot that monitors exactly the way in which the
speakers react to the signal being presented to them and compares this directly with the original
input signal. Any differences detected are "dynamically corrected", ensuring that the speakers
reproduce the original signal with an exceptionally high degree of accuracy.
The result is a totally clean sound, right up to the maximum sound of the amplifier.
