FRONT PANEL FEATURES

BALANCED DIRECT RECORD OUT

The Balanced XLR output is a true balanced output. No front

panel controls affect its signal. The tone and output level are con-
trolled only by the instrument plugged into one of the input jacks.
To use this feature, run an XLR (Cannon) cable from the Balanced D.I. to the input of a tape machine,

mixing console, etc. This output is also suitable for sending a signal to a house mixer in live situations.
Wiring for the XLR connector is as follows: Pin 1 = ground, Pin 2 = +, Pin 3 = –. (American standard)

TO TUNER

The To Tuner send jack allows the user to connect their instrument tuner to the Workingman’s 15 with-

out having to unplug and go back and forth from amp to tuner to amp. Like the Balanced D.I. 

output, this feature is isolated from the rest of the circuitry and no other controls other than your instru-
ment have an affect on it. Being on a sidechain (isolated) also avoids loading down of the instrument,
which can cause a loss in dynamic range.
To use this feature, plug in a shielded patch cord from this jack to the INPUT of your tuning device. Turn

the amp on and you’re ready to go. If you don’t want to monitor your sound while tuning, turn down the
Master Volume control or position the selector switch on the front panel to the “headphones” (middle)
position.

INPUT JACKS

Two separate and independent input jacks are provided so that the best signal-to-noise ratio can be
obtained without overloading the preamp section. The Passive input has over twice the gain than that of

the Active input. Both inputs can be used simultaneously without affecting the volume or tone of the
other. One use of these inputs would be to plug your bass into the Passive input and practice along with
a drum machine by plugging it into the Active input. A more detailed explanation of these inputs follows.

Passive Input

This input can and should be used if your instrument has passive electronics (no built-in preamp).
Technically speaking, this input should be used if your instrument has an output voltage of 1 volt RMS or
LESS. Consult the owner’s manual that came with your instrument or ask the manufacturer 
if you are unsure.
