Front Panel - SWRSound WorkingPro 2x10C Bedienungsanleitung

Congratulations on your purchase of an SWR WorkingPro 2x10C
or WorkingPro 15 combo amplifier! You now own the famous
SWR tone, power, clarity, and true full-range response that's
made SWR the choice of professionals for over twenty years.
Your WorkingPro amplifier combines the best SWR features:
• The famous preamp designed by original engineer Steve W.
Rabe
• Aural Enhancer™ and Active EQ controls
• Bass Intensifier™ circuit—simultaneously boosts and
compresses specific frequencies to add pure low-end
thickness to your bass sound
• New Wedge EQ specially designed for amp "tilt-back"
operation
A. INPUT— Plug your bass into this jack using a
shielded instrument cable.
B. INPUT PAD—Reduces input sensitivity to allow cleaner
response from high-output (above 1-Volt RMS) bass gui-
tars. Use the setting that sounds best!
NORMAL—Full input sensitivity
–10dB PAD—Lower input sensitivity
For active (pre-amplified) bass guitars: If you hear distortion—
even with the INPUT PAD switch IN and a low GAIN {D} set-
ting (not clipping)—check your guitar battery.
C. MUTE—Disables the amplifier's audio outputs except
TUNER {W}, EFFECTS SEND {T} and HEADPHONES {S} which
remain active. Use MUTE during: instrument changes,
tune-ups and when using headphones. The
cates when MUTE is engaged.
D. GAIN—Use GAIN primarily to control signal distortion,
then use MASTER Volume {N} to adjust the loudness of
the amplifier. GAIN also sets the EFFECTS SEND {T} output
level, allowing you to match the input sensitivity of your
effects unit. Use the PREAMP CLIP LED to find the desired
GAIN setting:
PREAMP CLIP—Indicates when the preamp circuit
is being overdriven (clipping) and causing distortion.
Slight flashing at your instrument's peak output is
generally the cleanest (least distortion) GAIN setting.
NOTE: Preamp clipping is not harmful to the amplifier
and can be used for effect.

E. AURAL ENHANCER—Featured on just about every SWR
amplifier since the company's inception in 1984, the Aural
Enhancer delivers that famous SWR Sound! It brings out
the fundamental low notes of the bass guitar, enhances
the high-end transients, and reduces specific frequen-
cies that mask the fundamentals. This provides a more
transparent sound particularly when slapping and pop-
ping and also gives "active" bass characteristics to pas-
sive basses (when set at "2 o'clock" or positions further
clockwise).
How the AURAL ENHANCER Works: Think of it as a vari-
able tone curve that changes depending on where you
set the AURAL ENHANCER control knob. As you rotate
the control clockwise from the "MIN" position, you are
elevating low– mid– and high–frequencies different than
those of the active tone controls. This remains true up to
about the "2 o'clock" position, a favorite of many players
because it brings out the low-end fundamentals and crisp
highs plus lower midrange to help cut through the band.
However, if you go further clockwise past the "2 o'clock"
position, the mids centered around 200 Hz will start to
drop off. From this point on, the effect becomes much
more pronounced. However, the curves involved here are
gentle, as opposed to the extreme curves you can create
by boosting or cutting the active tone controls.
