Outputs-Left & Right Sockets (12 Band); Speaker Output(S) - TRACE ELLIOT AH1000-12 Guide D'utilisation

Neither will be affected by adjustments to the OUTPUT LEVEL control so turning up on stage will
not overload the mixing desk once it is set. All outputs will be muted if the MUTE function is used.
Different applications will determine which output(s) to use. For a pure bass sound at all times the
PRE EQ should be used. Alternatively, if all the internal processing is required then the LEFT
and/or RIGHT should be used. If in doubt choose these as the sound will be basically the same as
the sound heard from the cabinet/combo speakers. If you are not using any stereo effects then it will
only be necessary to use either LEFT or RIGHT as both will produce the same signal.
There may also be some occasions when it is desirable to use all outputs. This is particularly useful
when recording as it allows both the dry and processed signals to be recorded at the same time on to
separate channels. These can then be switched between or even mixed together at later stages of the
recording session. As they are fundamentally the same performance they will track seamlessly in
pitch and phrasing.
(32) OUTPUTS – LEFT & RIGHT sockets (12 Band)
These are unbalanced 1/4" jack outputs that can be used to send the output of the preamp section to
another piece of equipment, such as a power amplifier, mixing desk or recording device. The actual
level is dependant on the setting on the OUTPUT LEVEL control which means that if these sockets
are used to expand the system with extra power amps and speakers, then the overall volume can still
be set by a single control.

(33) SPEAKER OUTPUT(S)

All units feature Neutrik© Combination Speakon© and 1/4" jack sockets and most feature an
additional 1/4" jack socket depending on the specific model. (The 715 combo only has the
Combination Speakon© socket so that the internal speaker must be disconnected to be able to
connect to an extension cabinet). Units with two power stages (e.g. AH1000-12) have separate
speaker outputs for the LEFT and RIGHT channels.
These sockets are for connecting to speaker cabinets. Connections should be made before mains
power is applied to the unit.
When connecting to a speaker cabinet we recommend that the Speakon© socket is used in
preference to the 1/4" jack as it provides a far superior connection. 1/4" jack sockets have been
added merely for the user's convenience when it is absolutely necessary to use them. Please ensure
that if a jack lead is used that it is definitely a speaker cable rather than in instrument cable; the two
are very different and should not be mixed for either application. If two extension cabinets are used
with 1/4" jack leads we recommend that each cabinet is connected back to the amplifier separately
instead of using the LINK socket on the cabinet. This will halve the current that each lead carries
and provide a better connection.
Trace Elliot amplifiers are designed to deliver their rated RMS output power into 4 ohm speaker
loads. Therefore each amplifier can drive 1x 4 ohm cabinet or 2x 8 ohm cabinets (in parallel).
Driving a single 8 ohm load will deliver between 50% and 60% of the rated power. Never connect
your amplifier to a speaker load lower than the rated 4 ohms. This will result in over heating of the
amplifier and it shutting down into protect mode.
Please refer to the specification sheet for your cabinet for more information on its use.
