ENGLISH NITROBASS™ PROFESSIONAL BASS AMPLIFIER Congratulations on your purchase of the Peavey NitroBass™. The NitroBass includes an easy-touse, three-band active EQ with shiftable mid-range control and a contour control (for that smileyface EQ curve). These tone controls are so versatile you should be able to quickly dial up your own sound. Also provided are a buffered tuner send jack, an electronically balanced XLR line out with its own level control, pre-post EQ switch, and a ground lift switch.
REAR PANEL 4 2 1 3 AC POWER FEATURES: 1. REMOVABLE AC POWER CORD This receptacle is for the IEC line cord (included), which provides AC power to the unit. Connect the line cord to this connector and to a properly grounded AC supply. Damage to the equipment may occur if an improper line voltage is used. (See voltage marking on unit.) Never remove or cut the ground pin of the line cord plug. This unit is supplied with a properly rated line cord.
NOTE: THE FUSE SHOULD ONLY BE REPLACED WHEN THE REMOVABLE POWER CORD HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM ITS CHASSIS RECEPTACLE (1). 5. POWER/STATUS LED Located on front panel this LED illuminates green when the Power Switch is in the “ON” position and AC power is supplied. During normal operation the LED also acts as a DDT indicator. The LED illuminates red when the DDT speaker protection is active. When DDT is defeated, the LED will illuminate red when clipping occurs.
13. MID CONTROL An active tone control (peak/notch, ±15 dB) that varies the midrange boost or cut. 14. MID SHIFT CONTROL Selects the frequency band (200 — 2 kHz) that the mid control cuts or boosts. 15. HIGH CONTROL An active tone control (shelving type, ±15 dB) that varies the high frequency boost or cut. 16. VOLUME CONTROL Controls the overall volume level of the amplifier. The final level adjustment should be made after the desired sound has been achieved. 17.
26. POWER AMP IN JACK This 1/4" jack is used to input an external signal to the power amp section of the NitroBass. Using this jack will disconnect any signal from the preamp section. Using this jack along with the preamp out jack creates a possible second effects loop. 27 28 27 REAR PANEL FEATURES: 27. POWER CORD RETAINERS Use the Power Cord Retainers to wrap and store your cable while storing or transporting your NitroBass. It is best to disconnect the cord from the unit before wrapping. 28.

4 2 1 3 CARACTERÍSTICAS DE PODER CA: 1. CABLE DE PODER CA INTERCAMBIABLE Esta entrada es para el cable de línea IEC (incluido), mismo que provee poder CA a la unidad. Conecta el cable de línea a este conector y a un suministro de CA propiamente aterrizado. El equipo puede dañarse si se usa voltaje de línea inapropiado. (Ver marcación de voltaje en la unidad). Nunca quites ni cortes el alfiler de tierra del conector del cable de línea. Esta unidad viene con un cable de marcación correcta.
NOTA: EL FUSIBLE SÓLO DEBE SER REEMPLAZADO CUANDO EL CABLE DE CORRIENTE HAYA SIDO DESCONECTADO DE SU RECEPTÁCULO EN EL CHASÍS (1). 5. LED DE ESTADO DE PODER Localizado en el panel frontal este LED se ilumina de verde cuando el interruptor de poder esté en la posición ON y se esté suministrando poder CA. Durante la operación normal el LED también actúa como indicador de DDT. El LED se iluminará de rojo cuando esté activada la protección de bocinas DDT.
13. CONTROL DE MEDIOS Un control de tono activo (pico/corte, +/- 15 dB) que varía el aumento o corte de las frecuencias medias. 14. CONTROL DE MEDIOS Selecciona la banda de frecuencia (200-2kHz) que el control de medios corta o aumenta. 15. CONTROL DE AGUDOS Un control de tono activo (tipo shelving, +/- 15 dB) que varía el aumento o corte de las frecuencias agudas. 16. CONTROL DE VOLUMEN Controla el volumen general del amplificador.
25. CONECTOR DE SALIDA DE PREMPLI Este conector de 1/4 se usa para enviar la señal del preampli a las entradas externas, como la entrada de un ampli de poder adicional. La señal es post control de volumen. El uso de este conector no cancela la señal del ampli NitroBass (puede notarse alguna diferencia de volumen a causa del cambio de impedancia que sucede al añadirse una unidad externa a la señal). 26.

DEUTSCH NITROBASS™ PROFESSIONELLER BASS-VERSTÄRKER Wir freuen uns, dass Sie sich für einen Peavey NitroBass™-Bassverstärker entschieden haben. Die Klangregelung des NitroBass besteht aus einem aktiven Dreiband-EQ mit parametrischer Mittenregelung sowie einem zusätzlichen Contour-Regler (für die typische EQ-"U-Form") und ist damit so vielseitig, dass Sie Ihren Sound schnell gefunden haben dürften.
4 2 1 3 STROMVERSORGUNG: 1. Separates Netzkabel Diese Buchse ist für das Euro-Netzkabel zur Stromversorgung des Geräts (im Lieferumfang enthalten) vorgesehen. Schließen Sie das Netzkabel ausschließlich an einen korrekt geerdeten Netzanschluss mit geeigneter Spannung an (siehe Aufschrift Geräterückseite), da das Gerät sonst ernstlichen Schaden nehmen kann. Entfernen oder umgehen Sie niemals den Massepunkt am Netzkabel selbst. Bei Auslieferung liegt dem Gerät ein geeignetes Netzkabel bei.
ANMERKUNG: ERSETZEN SIE DIE SICHERUNG AUSSCHLIESSLICH BEI GEZOGENEM NETZSTECKER (1). 5. POWER/STATUS-LED Auf der Frontplatte befindet sich eine LED, die grün leuchtet, wenn sich der Netzschalter in Position "ON" befindet und dem Gerät Strom zugeführt wird. Im Normalbetrieb fungiert diese LED gleichzeitig als DDT-Anzeige. Bei aktivierter DDT-Lautsprecher-Schutzschaltung leuchtet die LED rot; bei nicht aktivierter DDT-Schutzschaltung leuchtet die LED rot auf, sobald das Gerät übersteuert.
13. MID Dieser aktive Klangregler (Peak/Notch-Filter, ±15 dB) dient der Anhebung bzw. Absenkung der mittleren Frequenzen. 14. MID SHIFT Dieser Regler dient der Einstellung der Eckfrequenz (200 Hz — 2 kHz) für den MID-Regler. 15. HIGH Dieser aktive Klangregler (Shelving-Filter, ±15 dB) dient der Anhebung bzw. Absenkung der hohen Frequenzen. 16. VOLUME Dieser Regler dient der Einstellung der Gesamtlautstärke des Verstärkers im Anschluss an die Klangeinstellung. 17.
25. PREAMP OUT Diese 6,3mm-Klinkenbuchse dient der Überführung des Vorverstärker-Signals an ein externes Gerät, z.B. einen zusätzlichen Leistungsverstärker, wobei der Signalabgriff hinter dem Lautstärkeregler erfolgt. Ist die Buchse belegt, wird das Signal weiterhin an die NitroBassEndstufe ausgegeben (es ist allerdings möglich, dass Sie aufgrund der veränderten Impedanzwerte durch den Anschluss des zusätzlichen Geräts einen geringfügigen Lautstärkeunterschied feststellen werden). 26.
