Remember, it's always better to have a little too much power than just barely enough. If you find yourself
constantly wanting more power than the Workingman's 8004 provides, either:
a) Tell your bandmates to turn down
b) Tell the monitor engineer to turn you up
c) (best option) Take the time to investigate getting an external power amp and/or additional speaker
cabinets to supplement your rig.
Note: The frequency response of the Workingman's 8004 is far greater than usually found in musi-
cal instrument amplifiers (20 Hz to 40 kHz). This was engineered in order to give the bass player
the same punch and clarity on stage as found in the studio or concert P.A. systems. Therefore, it is
doubly important that you are aware of the impedance and power rating of the speakers that you
intend to use, and that they are compatible with the Workingman's 8004. Speakers that have been
overdriven are easy to detect and generally do not fall under a manufacturer's warranty.
Speaker Output Jacks
Two 1/4" phone jacks and two Speakon Jacks (all wired in parallel) are provided for connection of the
Workingman's 8004 to your speaker system. Whenever possible, use of the Speakon jacks is recommend-
ed. Speakon jacks and connectors offer the best possible connection and are far superior to banana or
1/4" phone jacks in that they not only lock in place (preventing accidental disconnection), but also offer a
greater and more stable connection surface. This solid connection provides a more effective transfer of
power to your speakers.
Only SPEAKER CABLE of 18 gauge or heavier (the heavier the cable, the lower the gauge) should be used
to connect your Workingman's 8004 to your speaker system. Do not use shielded instrument cable to con-
nect your amplifier to your speaker enclosure, as this can result in intermittent power loss, cause your
amp to oscillate and damage itself and/or your speakers, and render the cable useless for any purpose.
Note: Unlike most amplifiers on the market, the Workingman's 8004 can be used for recording pur-
poses without speakers attached to the speaker output jacks (using only the Balanced [XLR] Output).
The most highly recommended single SWR Speaker enclosure for use with the Workingman's 8004 is—of
course—the Workingman's Tower! It's a perfectly matched rig in terms of both tone and power
delivery/handling. Other single SWR Speaker enclosures recommended for use with the Workingman's
8004 include:
• Megoliath
• Goliath Senior
• Henry 8x8
• Big Bertha
Note: All above cabinets are from SWR's Professional Line.
Recommended SWR Workingman's Speaker combinations for use with the Workingman's 8004 include:
• (2) Workingman's 4x10Ts
• (1) Workingman's 2x10T and (1) Workingman's 4x10T
• (1) Workingman's 4x10T and (1) Workingman's 1x15T
Speaker Fuse
The speaker fuse is provided to protect your speakers in the unlikely event of a power amp failure or to
protect your power amplifier from incorrect speaker impedances or hookups. Size and rating of the fuse is
3AG, 10 amp, fast-blo. Do not defeat the purpose of this feature by using a higher rated fuse as it can
damage your amplifier and void your warranty.
The fuse can open as a result of a fault in the speaker cable, the speakers themselves, or the power amp
being sent well into clipping. With this in mind, it is wise to carry extra fuses at all times.
