circuit that is completely protected against overloads, short circuits and thermal faults. Output is rated at 100 watts 
into 4 ohms, with excellent overload recovery characteristics. A unique feature of this amplifi er is the “on silicon” 
temperature sensor that automatically tracks and adjusts the amplifi er’s operating and protection parameters, a very 
cool feature the increases product reliability 10-fold over conventional designs. 

FAN COOLING

 – A rear mounted fan is provided for exceptional thermal cooling of the power amp. A fan switch 

is provided to disengage the fan if desired.  It is recommended, but not necessary, to use the fan when only 
operating the Shen-100 combo.  Using the fan is recommended when powering an 8 ohm extension cabinet with the 
combo or when operating the combo in a hot environment.

TWEETER LEVEL CONTROL

 – The “rocker switch” tweeter level control provides three positions for 

additional acoustic fl exibility.  The positions are: On, Off and –6db. 

SPEAKER OUTPUT JACKS

 – The Shenandoah™ Acoustic 100 provides 2 parallel ¼” speaker output jacks. 

Minimum total load is 4 ohms (2 x 8 ohm speaker cabinet or 1 x 4 ohm speaker cabinet). Combo versions of the 
Shenandoah™ Acoustic 100 are factory equipped with our GBE 1230, 12” speaker and a compression bullet tweeter 
presenting an 8 ohm load to the amplifi er.

POWER INPUT

 – The Shenandoah™ Acoustic 100 is shipped from the factory with a standard IEC type power 

inlet connector and the appropriate power cable for the market the amplifi er was shipped to. The power transformer 
is a universal input (115/230 volt, 50/60 Hz) with a voltage selector switch located above the inlet connector. Be sure 
that this switch is in the correct position (matching your local power system) BEFORE connecting the Shenandoah to 
the power source. There is an AC mains fuse (with a spare fuse included!) located in the small slide out tray on the 
IEC power inlet connector. Always replace with the correct value fuse as indicated on the fuse chart located on the 
back of the amplifi er.

BOTTOM MOUNTED TILT-BACK HANDLE

 – This feature allows the cabinet to be tipped up towards the 

performer.  This also can change the tone of the amp and reduce boomy low frequencies.

SPEAKER STAND MOUNT

 – A 1 1/2” speaker stand mount is provided for use with a speaker stand.
