Genz-Benz 80 LT Musical Instrument Amplifier User Manual


 
HEADPHONE JACK - This jack, located on the rear panel, allows the user to enjoy the tone of this amp through standard
headphones (8-600 ohms). A speaker switch shuts off the internal speakers.
EFFECTS CANCEL JACK - A ¼” effects cancel jack is provided on the back panel to mute the internal effects via foot-
switch. Any standard single button latching footswitch (with shielded cable) may be used. Signal is muted when the switch
is closed.
POWER AMPLIFIER - The Shenandoah
®
Stereo 80LT contains an advanced stereo monolithic power amplier
circuit that is completely protected against overloads, short circuits and thermal faults. Output is rated at 40 watts per
side (80 watts total) into 4 ohms, with excellent overload recovery characteristics.
IEC POWER INLET CONNECTOR - The Shenandoah
®
Stereo 80LT uses a detachable power cord and
is shipped from the factory with the appropriate power inlet cable and connector for the market the amplier was
shipped to. There is an AC mains fuse located in a small drawer within this molded connector.
PHANTOM POWER - An internal phantom power source (12 volts) is provided for use with condenser mics.
This power source is on at all times and does not affect the standard operation of the amp, even when a condenser
mic is not used. We use the DIN 45-596-P12 volt standard which will operate virtually all of the live sound
reinforcement condenser microphones on the market. Some “boutique” externally biased condenser mics will not
be compatible and will require 48 volt phantom power. We suggested live sound condenser mics by: AKG, Audio Tech-
nica, Shure and Crown.
SPEAKER OUTPUT JACK - The Shenandoah
®
Stereo 80LT provides left and right ¼” speaker output jacks. Minimum
total load is 4 ohms per side.
SPEAKER COMPLIMENT - The Shenandoah
®
Stereo 80LT utilizes two specially designed 6.5” woofers and
dual compression tweeters. The cabinet features a front port for more rounded low frequency response. The
impedance of the internal speakers is 4 ohms per side.
MONITOR SHAPED CABINET DESIGN - The Shenandoah
®
Stereo 80LT utilizes lightweight plywood to help reduce
weight. This cabinet design offers two platforms so the cabinet can be used in the normal upright position or tipped back
towards the performer for more of a monitoring situation. Leaning the cabinet back 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.
