Precautions During Use - Ibanez Sound Wave 65 Manual Del Usuario

Foreword
Thank you for purchasing the IBANEZ SW65 bass amp. Read this
manual thoroughly prior to using your amplifier in order to get the most
out of the functions available. Then keep the manual in a safe place.
Features
The amp head of the SW65 features a 65W output, and the speaker
section uses a powerful IBANEZ original 12-inch POWER JAM 1204
speaker together with a PJPT85 piezo horn tweeter, giving you the
ultimate in sound quality and convenience.
The pre-amp EQ is a newly designed 4-band active EQ with ±15 dB of
range, covering a versatile range of performance needs and allowing
wide yet detailed adjustments. The SW65 also features an internal
limiter, creating punchy low-end with minimal distortion.

Precautions during use

• Do not subject the amplifier to shocks by dropping, etc., or treat it
roughly in any way.
• Place the amplifier carefully in a stable position. The sound from the
amplifier will vary depending on how and where it is set up.
• Do not use or store the amplifier in locations where it is subject to
direct sunlight or in environments that experience extreme tempera-
tures and humidity levels.
• Reduce the volume to '0' or switch off the power supply when con-
necting the guitar shielded cable and the effects or other cables re-
quired for external connection. Note that the noise generated when
plugs are inserted and removed may cause severe damage to the
equipment.
• To avoid the danger of fire, do not place containers of liquid on the
amp.
• As long as the SW65 is connected to an electrical outlet, it is not
completely insulated from the power supply even if the power switch
is turned off. When you are not using it, leave the power turned off. If
you will not be using the SW65 for an extended period, leave the power
cable disconnected.
Names and functions for each part
1. INPUT jack
This is a 1/4" phone jack input. Use a shielded guitar cable to connect your
electric bass guitar to this jack.
2. 10 dB GAIN switch
When you are using a bass that has a low output, or to intensify the effect of the
limiter, you can turn the 10 dB GAIN switch ON to boost the pre-amp gain by 10
dB.
3. GAIN control
This controls the gain of the preamp. Raising the level will increase the volume,
but after you pass a certain level, a limiter will operate to prevent distortion, and
the level will not increase very much. If you continue raising this control, the
limiter will apply more strongly, producing an effect as though the threshold were
lowered. Adjust this control in conjunction with the EQ and the VOLUME control
to get the sound you want.
4. BASS control
This is a shelving-type equalizer for the low frequencies. It boosts or cuts the
level of the 100 Hz region in a range of ±15 dB.
5. MIDDLE control
This is the mid-frequency equalizer. It boosts or cuts the level of the 600 Hz
region in a range of ±15 dB.
6. TREBLE control
This is a shelving-type equalizer for the high frequencies. It boosts or cuts the
level of the region at 4 kHz and above in a range of ±15 dB.
7. PRESENCE control
This is the ultra-high frequency equalizer. It boosts or cuts the level of the 9.4
kHz region in a range of ±15 dB.
8. VOLUME control
This adjusts the output level of the amp. Raising the level will increase the vol-
ume, but after you pass a certain level, a limiter will operate to prevent distor-
tion, and the level will not increase very much. If you continue raising this con-
trol, the limiter will apply more strongly, producing an effect as though the threshold
were lowered. Simultaneously, it also controls the output level of the CD INPUT.
9. CD INPUT
These are stereo phono input jacks that can be connected to a portable CD/MD/
cassette player or to the headphone output of your stereo system. Use the VOL-
UME control to adjust the volume. These inputs are not suitable for connection
to LINE OUT jacks.
