FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - The Acoustic ART

Comment brancher The Acoustic à un ampli ?

Branchez votre guitare sur l'entrée (Input) de l'Acoustic. Reliez la sortie gauche (Left Output) à l'entrée de votre ampli. Si votre ampli accepte le stéréo, utilisez également la sortie droite. Réglez le volume de la guitare, puis les commandes Input et Output de l'Acoustic avant d'augmenter le volume de l'ampli.

Comment utiliser The Acoustic directement sur une table de mixage ?

Connectez la sortie XLR de l'Acoustic à une entrée ligne de la table de mixage. Réglez les niveaux Input et Output de l'Acoustic, puis le niveau d'entrée de la table. Vous pouvez aussi utiliser les sorties jack 6,35 mm gauche et droite pour une connexion stéréo.

Comment sélectionner les effets numériques ?

Utilisez le bouton Preset Encoder pour choisir l'un des 16 presets. Le bouton Blend règle le mélange entre le son sec (Dry) et l'effet (Wet). Appuyez sur le pad Activator marqué "Effect" pour activer ou désactiver les effets.

Comment éviter le larsen (feedback) ?

Utilisez la fonction "notching" : tournez le bouton Boost/Cut à fond, réglez la fréquence pour localiser le larsen, puis réduisez le Boost/Cut et ajustez le Q pour couper précisément la fréquence problématique. Commencez avec un Q réglé vers le minimum pour minimiser l'impact sur le son global.

Que signifient les réglages Warm et Bright ?

Warm donne un son chaud et plein, idéal pour une guitare brillante que l'on veut adoucir. Bright rend le son plus clair et brillant, parfait pour une guitare sourde ou pour ajouter du "bite". Utilisez l'interrupteur à gauche du témoin lumineux pour basculer entre les deux.

The Acoustic fonctionne-t-il sur batterie ?

Non, l'Acoustic est alimenté uniquement par l'adaptateur secteur fourni (9 VAC / 400 mA). Il n'utilise pas de piles. L'adaptateur doit être branché sur une prise électrique.

Quels sont les branchements disponibles en sortie ?

L'Acoustic dispose d'une sortie XLR symétrique (broche 2 chaude), de deux sorties jack 6,35 mm asymétriques (gauche et droite) et d'une sortie casque. Toutes les sorties peuvent être utilisées simultanément.

Comment utiliser le pad Boost ?

Le pad Activator marqué "Boost" ajoute 6 dB de gain supplémentaire lorsqu'il est enfoncé. Utile pour un solo ou pour augmenter brièvement le volume. Un témoin lumineux dans l'écran indique quand le boost est actif.

Que faire si le voyant Power/Clip reste rouge fixe ?

Cela indique que le circuit numérique est saturé. Baissez le réglage Input de l'Acoustic jusqu'à ce que le voyant clignote seulement sur les pics de jeu. Puis ajustez le niveau Output pour obtenir un bon volume général.

Comment bénéficier de la garantie ?

La garantie ART est de 3 ans à compter de la date d'achat. Pour un service sous garantie, contactez le service client ART au [phone] pour obtenir un numéro RA. Expédiez l'appareil avec une copie du reçu d'achat, une description du problème et votre adresse de retour (pas de boîte postale). Les réparations sont effectuées à Rochester, NY.

Straight into an amp: If your patching the Acoustic into a guitar (or other instrument) amplifier, use one cord between the instrument and the Acoustics Inrupt. Run a second cord from the Left Output to the amp's Inrupt. If the amp has stereo input capabilities (or if your using two amps), connect another cord between the Acoustics Right Output and the amp's second-channel Inrupt (or the second amps Inrupt).

Insert the supplied AC adapters plug into the input labeled 9VAC Input on the Acoustics back panel.

Turn the Output knock to its full counterlockwise position. Turn this know up only after all other setup steps are completed.

Quick Setup

You've unpacked your acoustic and you're in a hurry to get it up and running. You probably would rather play with it than read the manual (at least, right now). Fair enough. But check out the basics outlined here just to get your acoustic on line. It should take only a couple of minutes for you to read through, and then you'll be ready to fire up your acoustic. Refer to this section if you have any difficult-ty. And later, when you want to get into more of the details of your acoustic, check out the rest of the manual.

QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS

The Acoustic, while primarily designed to be used straight into a gui- tar amp, may be used in a variety of setsups including: straight into a power amplifier, P:A, or mixing console. Self-contrained in an all-steel enclosure, the Acoustic is designed for continuouss, professional use and can withstand the rigsors of the road and stage.

INSTALLATION Give your guitar a reel workout. Try all the presets, and don't hold back. Then, when you're ready, check out the rest of this manual for all the details on how to get the most out of your acoustic.

Select Warm or Bright EQ types with the switch to the left of the llu- minated liny. Select the second bank of presets with the switch to the right of the inlay. Apply a boost to your output signal (for solving - or just to be a rebel) with the left rubber activator pad and turn on and of the digital effects with the right rubber activator pad. For a com- place list of the present settings see pages 13 & 14.

Now turn up the Acoustics Output level and raise the gain level on your amp or mixer. You should be hearing the Acoustic! If not, check to turn it on, didn't you?).

Turn up the Input control on the Acoustic. Make sure that your guide acoustics. Aurts volume control is turned up and a signal is being sent to the

The Input control adjusts the amount of gain into the preamp circuit. The range is from 0 (none) to 10 (Max). Adjust the Input control for a healthy level. If you experience a low output signal, this control may be set too low. Alternatively, if the Power/Clip LED lights red with the Output control set very low, this level is set too high. You'll get the hanging of setting this properly very quickly.

The upper half of the acoustics front panel includes: the controls for the preamp circuitry, blend control, and the preset encoder knob. The effect combinations for the digital presets are screened below these controls for easy identification.

KNOWS AND PRESENTS

Never operate the Acoustic or AC adapter in the rain or in wet location. If the AC adapter cord is ever cut or damaged, discontinue using its and replace the adapter with a new one. To prolong its life, unplung the adapter when the Acoustic is not in use. Refer to the label on the adapter for proper operating voltages.

The Acoustic is powered by an external AC adapter. Always make sure that its output jack is securely plugged into the rear of the acoustic and that the adapter is held firmly in an electrical outlet.

Powering The Acoustic

The Q control is used to "tune in" the frequencies you want boosted or cut. Picture a bell. The frequency selected by the Frequency control knob is positioned at the middle of the bell. At the "min" end

Notching (or feedback rhanging) hints “ringing out” that sounds-people do with monitors. This involves find- ing and cutting the frequency. Once you find the feedback, you’ll work with both the frequency and Q controls to “tune” it out.

of the control, the bell is very narrow. At the "max" end of the control the bell is very wide. The Q control selects how the frequencies adja- cent to the selected frequency are selected. Or, in human terms, The "min" setting has a "minimum" effect on adjacent frequencies and the "max" setting has a "maximum" effect on those frequencies. For notchining a problem frequency (feedback) without changing the overall sound, use a setting towards the "min" end of the control. If you are using the EQ to change the overall sound of the instrument (getting rid of that pesky "boxy" sound) use settings closer to the "max" setting Explaining this control is much harder than it is to bear how the control works. After some playing around you'll get the hang of it.

Now that you're sounding like an "Unplugged" Curr, don't forget the acoustic offers a whole other section full of digital wizz-bang goodies that that we haven't even covered yet. Feel free to put down the manual and really get into the fact that you do sound great. When your calluses have calluses, cramps have cramps, etc. - pick the manual back up and read on.

The Output control is used to set the output level of the Acoustic. The Output control is located before the digital effects section (it drives the digital circuitry). Set the Input control so that the Power/Clip LED blockers red occasionally. If you see the Power/Clip (red) LED on constantly, turn down the Input control (-you're overdriving the digital section). Turn up the Output control for a good level to your amplification device.

LEAD FOOT WARNING!

Even though the acoustic is built like a tank and the rubber activator pads were designed to be pressed with your feet... The spring chalear ter and effect's bank select switches were designed to be pressed with a finger. Because of its location, you'll be tempred to do some fancy footwork and toggle these switches with your feet. We strongly recorn- mend being lighter-footed; A tap is all it takes! Practice this maneuver with caution (which can be difficult with high- heeled, flame-throwing, pointy-toed stage wear).

PLUGING DIRECTLY INTO AN AMP

Plug your guitar into the Inrupt Jack of the Acoustic. Plug the Left output Jack into your amplifiers instrument inrupt (use the Right output as well if your amp has stereo inputs or if you are using two amps). When plugging a guitar into the Acoustic, make sure that there is sufficient signal level coming from the instrument (you've turned up the volume port). Turn up the Acoustics Inrupt and Output controls before turning up the amplifiers volume control.

USING THE ACoustic DIRECTLY INTO A MIXER Connect the XLR DI/ Bal. output of the Acoustic to a line input channel of your mixer. Adjust the Input and Output levels of the acoustic and then the Input level of the mixer. Once you see sigma present at the mixers' input, turn up your mixers' output levels (or monitor amp). The Acoustics Left and Right 1/4" outputs may be used to go directly to a mixer as well.

using AN ACoustic WITH A POWER AMP & CABINETS Plug your instrument into the Acoustic. Connect the Left and Right output jacks into the Left and Right input jacks on the power amp. Connect the speaker outputs of the amp to two cabinets (or a stereo cabinet). Be sure to power on the Acoustic before turning on the power amp.
