REAR PANEL
DIRECT OUTPUT
– An XLR balanced direct output is provided for connection to a PA system or directly into a recording
studio console or A/D converter. The DIRECT OUTPUT signal may be switched between mic and line level, pre and post
EQ, and the audio signal ground may be connected or lifted from pin 1 to eliminate hum due to ground loops. This output
is fully protected against 48 volt phantom power and may be used for driving microphone lines of up to 300 feet without
problems.
TUNER OUT
– The
MAGELLAN
™
800
is equipped with a fully isolated tuner output. This jack is located after the front
end scaling preamplifier but is pre-signal shape and pre-EQ. This output may also be used to drive a separate direct box
or high-impedance recording device. The TUNER OUT remains active when the amplifier is muted, allowing for silent
tuning on stage.
AUX IN
– A 1/4” stereo line level auxiliary input is provided that sums directly to the main output bus controlled by the
master volume control. This input is ideal for practicing with recorded tracks from a CD player, IPOD, or MP-3 player.
This input is a tip-ring-sleeve type jack with built-in summing resistors that sum left and right signals when used with a
stereo cable. This input will also work with a mono tip-sleeve plug. Adjust the level of the playback source to balance
with the bass guitar’s volume.
EFX LOOP
– A rear panel effects loop (SEND and RECEIVE jacks) is provided for connecting “serial” outboard devices
such as compressors and may also be used for parallel type outboard devices (delays, reverbs, harmonizers, octavers
etc.) by using the mix control located on the outboard device. This loop is located right before the MASTER VOLUME
control and is also intended as a Preamp Out / Power Amp In connection for possible “chaining” of amplifiers in a Master /
Slave configuration. The effects loop contains a “normal switch” in the RECEIVE jack that interrupts the signal path when
a plug is inserted into the RECEIVE jack. The SEND jack may be used for an aux. output without breaking the signal
path.
PHONES
– A 1/4” TRS jack is provided for connection to headphones for silent practice use. A speaker load is not
required. Do not connect this output to anything but headphones.
FOOT SWITCH
– This 1/4” TS connector is for connecting any single button foot switch to the
MAGELLAN
™
800
and
operates the CLEAN and DRIVE channel switching on the front panel. The front panel CHANNEL switch must be in the
OUT position for the foot switch to engage. (Foot switch not included.)
POWER AMPLIFIER
– The
MAGELLAN
™
800
uses a state of the art, class D power amplifier design and a high
frequency auto-sensing universal switch-mode power supply (SMPS) to achieve unprecedented high performance and
lightweight packaging. There are no Voltage Switches to change or jumpers to move. This SMPS senses the line voltage
