4. Operation Summary

• Cabling and startup

Check if your local mains voltage (e.g. 120 V in the USA, 230 V in Euro-

pe) complies with the required operating voltage for your amplifier.

The proper mains voltage is printed on the rating plate on the rear

panel of the unit, e.g. AC 230V (AC means alternating current).

Please take care that the master, gain, aux in, pre out, eff. level and

eff. send controls are set to zero (left stop) and all other controls to

their center positions. The pushbuttons should be switched off (not

pressed).

Important note: Under no circumstances activate the 9 V and 48 V

on the rear panel (below phantom power) when you are not sure that

phantom supply is needed.

Then make all the necessary cable connections (mains, instrument

etc.).

Now you may turn on your amplifier with the power on switch loca-

ted on the rear. The green power control LED will indicate operational

readiness.

• Level adjustment

Using the gain control, pad and line/mic switches you can adapt the

amplifier to your signal sources (guitar pickups, microphone etc.) to

achieve the best possible signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

First adjust the line/mic switch on each channel according to your

signal source: mic is suitable for microphones, line for pickups and

other signal sources.

Turn the gain control clockwise until the red clip indicator flashes

momentarily when playing with a strong attack. Now lower the gain

control (and also the instrumentís volume control) again slightly to

get some headroom for an undistorted reproduction. The clip control

LED should now only rarely flash. In case you find the level setting

difficult because the input signal is too strong, press the pad switch

as well. If the input signal is too weak, the gain control must be in-

creased accordingly. With signal sources with a sufficient input signal

strength the gain control should be adjusted between the '9:00 and

11:00 o'clock' position.

Finally set the desired overall volume level with the master control. If

necessary, you can mute the selected channel with the mute switch.

• Equalization

The three-band equalizer with individual bass, middle and treble con-

trols on each channel of your Domino 3 has been designed in such a

way that it both complies with the special requirements of acoustic

instruments and also with the more general demands of other sour-

ces. The colour switch on each channel activates a midrange contour

filter which is especially useful for picking techniques.

One more note: Adjusting the EQ controls can also affect the level

setting. Whenever you see the clip indicator flashing frequently, you

should slighty correct your gain setting (see íLevel adjustmentí).

• Effects

The Domino 3 has a built-in (internal) digital 32 bit AER effects proces-

sor which allows you to assign one of 16 different effect programmes

to channels 1/2 and 3/4 using the two effect select rotary controls.

With the send control the effects proportion is adjusted for each

channel.

In addition you can also connect your amplifier to your computer by

means of the supplied USB cable to modify and save the effect para-

meters according to your own preferences in realtime with the Domi-

no 3 effect control panel software (see separate manual).

The eff. level control determines the intensity of the internal effects

(left stop = no effect). Donít forget to turn up the send controls on

the desired channels. Furthermore an additional effects unit (external

effect) may be connected. For this purpose please use the send and

return L or return R sockets located on the back of the amplifier (send

goes to Input, return L & return R are connected to the output of the

external effects device). The intensity is then adjusted at the external

effects unit. The external effects loop works in ëparallelë mode, i.e.

the effect signal is blended with the original signal.

A standard double footswitch can be connected to each footswitch

socket on the rear of the amp with a stereo cable. These switches can

be used to turn the internal effects on and off.

An important note on phantom power

When used incorrectly, the phantom power can damage devices con-

nected to the amp inputs (such as pickups, microphones, preamps

and others)!

To avoid this:

•

Use the phantom power only for accessory equipment

which is explicitly designed for it. In all other cases leave the

correspondingswitches (9 V, 48 V on the back panel) turned

off (not pressed).

•

Always insert the jack plugs all the way in.

•

Mind the line/mic switches. Use the

mic position (switch pressed) only

for microphones.

•

When you press the

microphone inputs. Only microphones must be connected

which are designed to handle 48 volts phantom power.

Other microphones could be damaged. (Jack inputs

switched to the line position will not be affected.)

• 9 volts phantom power

Both channels 1 and 3 of the Domino 3 provide 9 volts phantom po-

wer to supply suitable accessory equipment such as special active

guitar electronics. These are connected to the input with a stereo jack

cable. The phantom power is activated for the corresponding chan-

nel with the 9 V switch on the rear and is then present at the ëringë

contact of the jack socket. Signal sources without phantom power

may be connected the usual way by means of mono jack instrument

cables.

• Options

Additionally the 9 V phantom power may also be activated for

channel 2 and 4 (even separately). To this end, the amplifier

must be opened. If necessary, please get this done by a profes-

sional repair shop. This modification comes into question for

you if you need more than two channels with 9 volts phantom

power regularly.

But please note:

•

Afterwards it will no longer be possible to use channel 1

with and channel 2 without phantom power. There is only

the ch1 / 9 V switchwhich will act on both channels then.

•

The same also holds true for channels 3 and 4.

• 48 volts phantom power

Microphones which need 48 volts phantom power may be connected

to all input sockets of the amplifier. The phantom power is activated

with the 48 V switch on the rear of the unit.

• Options

The 48 V phantom power may be deactivated on individual amp

channels. To this end, the amplifier must be opened. If necessary,

please get this done by a professional repair shop. This modificati-

on comes into question if you have to connect microphones both

with and without phantom power to the amplifier.

With its great dynamics, a huge variety of connections and controls

and vast possibilities to adapt to individual sound ideas, we hopefully

have designed the Domino 3 amplifier so as to meet all your wishes

and demands.

We wish you hours of happy playing with your Domino 3!
