Crate CA120DG

Crate CA120DG Crate CA120DG Description: New for 2004, we are introducing an entirely new range of acoustic amplifiers. The technology in the New Crate Acoustic Series is unique, with preamp circuits you can tailor for piezo or active systems or BOTH!!. Our NEW feedback elimination circuits are efficient and simple to use and on the 60 and 120 watt units include the ability to automatically eliminate feedback at two different frequencies. Every CA amp has a high frequency component for crisp, clear highs. On the CA120DG model we include special features for live performance like XLR & 1/4" balanced line out with Level control which does not affect your stage volume. They also have ground lift on the Line Out, Tweeter Level control, Effects Loop and a two button footswitch for Internal Reverb/Effects and Chorus switching. Also included are a wide array of Reverbs, Delays, Chorus and Multiple Effects settings. Crate CA120DG The Front Panel: 1: Low-Z. The signal from a low impedance microphone may be connected here by means of a shielded, balanced microphone cable terminated with an XLR connector. This jack has 15 volts phantom power applied to pins 2 and 3. (Mics not requiring phantom power will not be affected.) 2: Gain 1. This serves as the input level control for the XLR Input jack (#1). For the best signal to noise ratio set this control so the Peak LED (#5) flashes on strong signals. 3: High-Z. The signal from your acoustic instrument may be connected here by means of a shielded signal cable. This input will accommodate a piezo pickup or an active system. 4: Gain 2. This serves as the input level control for the High-Z jack (#3). For the best signal to noise ratio set this control so the Peak LED (#5) flashes on strong signals. 5: Peak. This LED flashes when the signal level into the preamp approaches clipping. Adjust the Gain controls (#2, #4) until a strong signal causes this LED to flash. 6: Low. This serves as the bass control. Adjust this control to get the best sounding bass response for this channel. Excessive boost of the low control can cause an unnatural howling and should be avoided. 7: Mid. This serves as the midrange control. Adjust this control to get the best projection and midrange tones for your instrument. The center point of the mid control is chosen by the setting of the Contour control (#8). 8: Contour. Use this control to set the center point of the Mid control (#7). Set this control at the frequency which gives you the most natural- sounding midrange tones. 9: High. This serves as the treble control. Adjust this control so your high notes and harmonic overtones are lively but not overpowering. 10: DSP/Eff Send. Use this control to adjust the amount of internal Digital Effect and/or external effect (if used). The Master Section - part one: 11: CD Input. Use these RCA jacks to connect a CD or tape player to the amplifier. Use the CD Level control (#12) to adjust the level of the player. 12: CD Level. Use this control to a
