Warning: When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Power Sources

Your unit should be connected to a power source only of the voltage specified in the owners manual or as marked on the unit. This unit has a polarized plug. Do not use with an extension cord or receptacle unless the plug can be fully inserted. Precautions should be taken so that the grounding scheme on the unit is not defeated. An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a Mains socket outlet with a protective earthing ground. Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

Hazards

Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The product may fall, causing serious personal injury and serious damage to the product. Use only with cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when installing the product and use mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer

Note: Prolonged use of headphones at a high volume may cause health damage on your ears.

The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing water; no objects filled with liquids should be placed on the apparatus.

Terminals marked with the "lightning bolt" are hazardous live; the external wiring connected to these terminals require installation by an instructed person or the use of ready made leads or cords.

Ensure that proper ventilation is provided around the appliance. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

Power Cord

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. The AC supply cord should be routed so that it is unlikely that it will be damaged. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs. If the AC supply cord is damaged DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT. To completely disconnect this apparatus from the AC Mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the AC receptacle. The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable.

Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

Service

The unit should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

SUVEZ TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS

The Traynor DynaBass 100 has been designed with the needs of professional bass guitar players in mind. We believe you will find your Traynor DynaBass 100 to be dependable and versatile for years to come.

1. CD / Line RCA Input Jack

These RCA jacks are provided so that players can connect an external source such as an mp3, tape or CD player; you can play along while performance or practicing.

User Tip: A small mixer could be connected here turning the DynaBass 100 into a subcompact PA for low-volume rehearsals.

2.0 dB / Passive and -6 dB / Active Inputs

These are the instrument inputs. We suggest the following: use the 0 dB/Passive input for bass guitars with passive electronics, like single-coil and humbucking pickups; use the -6 dB/Active input for active pickups (or extremely 'hot' pickups). However, you may prefer to run your active pickup bass guitar into the 0 dB/Passive input for an intentional aggressive sound – you the artist are in control.

User Tip: Don't use both inputs at the same time as they're not intended for connecting more than one instrument at a time.

3. Volume

Set the Volume control for the level of sound desired. If unwanted distortion occurs, reduce the Volume setting and/or the tone control settings (especially Bass).

4. Tone Controls

Each tone control permits a wide range of adjustment. The three overlapping controls cover the entire audio spectrum. The Bass adjusts the level of the low frequency range, the Mid control adjusts the frequencies and harmonics in the mid-range and the Treble control regulates the upper harmonic range. The center setting on these tone controls is approximately neutral.

User Tip: When starting out, it's a good idea to center all tone controls. Then, while you play, adjust them for the desired sound.

5. Scoop

The Scoop control emphasizes lows and highs and reduces midrange to provide a flexible tone alternative. A setting of 0 provides no Scoop and a setting of 10 provides the maximum effect.

User Tip: You may find that for best results using the Scoop at higher settings, the tone controls should be set close to the center/neutral positions.

6. XLR Line Output

This is your conduit to the P. A. or recording console. Using an XLR mic cable or a shielded patch cord with a female XLR connector on one end (balanced or unbalanced, e.g. a high or low-impedance mic cable), connect the Line Out to the input of the mixer. Electronic balancing circuitry minimizes the possibility of hum or noise when the Line Out is connected to a mixer (even when the mixer does not have balanced inputs). Also, this output can be made Pre-EQ or Post-EQ according to the selector button which is described below.

7. Pre-EQ / Post-EQ Selector Switch

The Pre-EQ / Post-EQ selector switch enables you to configure the behavior of the Line Out XLR jack.

• In the Pre-EQ setting, the Line Out signal comes directly from the input section bypassing the Volume control, tone controls and EFX Send/Return circuitry. Use the Pre-EQ setting in a recording or P.A. situation where the mixing engineer requires a completely dry signal, as if it were a D.I. box (Direct from the Instrument).
• In the Post-EQ setting, the Line Out signal comes from the final preamp stage. The Volume control, tone controls and any connected effects all affect the signal directly. Use the Post-EQ setting when connecting the Line Out to the input of another amp (perhaps for added stage coverage) or to a recording or P.A. mixer where a dry signal is not required.

User Tip: For most club PA situations or for home recording, you would probably prefer the Post-EQ setting.

8. EFX Send / EFX Return Jacks

The line-level signal at the EFX Send jack is post-fader and post-EQ (it is affected by the Volume and all tone controls). The EFX Send would normally be connected to the input of the effects processor with a shielded patch cord. When a phone plug is inserted to the EFX Return jack, the signal goes directly to the DynaBass 100's internal power amp. Technically, by inserting a 14 -inch phone plug into the EFX Return, you are disconnecting the internal preamp signal going to the power amplifier stage. As a result, the power amp can only receive signals routed through here (i.e. it isolates the power amp). Only use shielded patch cords for all interconnections.

User Tip: You can "slave" your DynaBass 100 to another amp. As an example, if you wanted to run two bass amps for a large gig, you can simply run a shielded patch cable from the line output of the other amp (possibly another DynaBass 100) to the EFX Return of your DynaBass 100.

Note: When used as a preamp for an external amplifier, the DynaBass 100 does not control the volume and tone of the external amplifier.

9. Phones

When a headphone plug is inserted into the Phones jack, the built-in speaker is disconnected. This permits silent practicing. The headphone jack must be used with stereo headphones – do not use mono headphones as the output signal will be cancelled.

10. Power

The LED on the front panel will illuminate when the Power switch, on the rear panel is turned to the On position.
