II. Getting Started
A. Manual Conventions:
In this manual, words that appear in italics represent
actual physical controls on the Tone Hammer® 700.
B. Basic Setup:
Input Voltage: 100-240~VAC 50/60 Hz
Mains Fuse: Internal T 6.3 A H/250 V
Maximum power consumption: 835 W
The Tone Hammer® 700 features a universal AC mains input,
allowing it to operate on any standard AC mains voltage ranging
from 100 to 240 Volts with frequency of either 50 or 60 Hz.
Connect your speaker cabinet(s) to the amplifier's speaker
output(s) using only cable(s) with Speakon to Speakon
connections, or Speakon to ¼" connections with an insulated
barrel. The Tone Hammer® 700 amplifier uses a bridge-tied load
topology. This means that both speaker output terminals are
connected to hazardous voltage. Thus, using a ¼" plug with non-
isolated barrel could present a risk of an electric shock.
Speaker outputs are wired to pins 1+ and 1- on provided 4 pole
Speakon connectors on the back panel of Tone Hammer® 700.
These connectors will mate with any standard 2 pole or 4 pole
Speakon plugs and will work with any standard 2 or 4 wire
Speakon to Speakon speaker cable. Use 12-gauge or larger
speaker cable to prevent temperature rise in the cable. Increased
temperature could compromise the electrical insulation in the
cable and increase the risk of fire and electric shock.
The amount of power this amplifier will produce varies with
the impedance rating of your cabinets.
8 Ω (one 8 Ω cabinet) – 350 W
4 Ω (one 4 Ω or two 8 Ω cabinets) – 700 W
2.67 Ω (one 8 Ω and one 4 Ω or three 8 Ω cabinet) – 700 W
Connect the amplifier to the AC power outlet using
provided power cord.
Plug in your instrument.
With the Master volume and Drive down, turn on your
amplifier. Adjust as follows:
1. Turn the Gain up while playing.
