SWR WORKINGMANS 12
Owner's Manual

LIMITER LED The Limiter LED lights when your signal has reached the Limiter threshold, letting you know that the Limiter circuit has been activated. NOTE: No harm is being done to your amplifier when this LED lights or stays lit. THREE WAY SELECTOR SWITCH The top position, labeled Full Range, activates both the tweeter and the 15" woofer in the Workingman�s 15, as well as the extension speaker jack. This position is the most typical setting. The middle position, labeled Headphones Only, disconnects the signal going to the internal speakers and extension speaker jack. Use this position when listening with heaphones only or for silent tuning (refer to To Tuner section). The Headphones jack is always active regardless of the switch�s position. The bottom position, labeled Horn Off, disconnects the tweeter located in the upper right hand corner of the speaker cabinet. It will not affect the 15" woofer, headphones or any extension cabinet. If you prefer a �darker� sound or are getting a lot of fret buzz, clicks, or pick or finger noise, you may want to use this position. STEREO HEADPHONES JACK By inserting a set of stereo headphones into this jack you will be able to monitor your sound or practice without disturbing your neighbors. The headphone volume level is adjusted by the Master Volume. We suggest you begin with the Master Volume off (fully counter-clockwise), then slowly bring up the volume to the desired level. If you hear some distortion in your headphones that is not present with the speakers on, turn down the volume�you are probably overdriving your heaphones and could ruin them. Any impedance headphones will work. However, optimum impedance is 75 ohms. POWER SWITCH Pressing the Power Switch to the ON position activates the Workingman�s 15 electronics as indicated by the LED above the switch.

REAR PANEL FEATURES
EFFECTS LOOP The Effects Loop is located POST EQ and PRE Master Volume in the signal path. The level appearing at the Send jack is controlled by the Gain control on the front panel. If you are getting too hot a signal to the input of your effect, reduce the level of the Gain control and raise the level of your Master Volume control to retain similar overall volume levels. By using the Gain, Master Volume and Effects Blend controls, optimum performance should be easily obtainable with any effects device. The Effects Loop is designed as a �sidechain� (parallel) function similar to those found on mixing consoles. Use of the Effects Loop should greatly reduce noise generated by effects devices (as compared to in-line effects loops). Additional features of this type of loop can be found below under the �Receive Jack� section. Send Jack Run a shielded patch cable from the Send jack to the input of your effects device. This jack may be used as an additional line level output, in which case its level is determined by the setting of the Gain control.
