4. the Limiter Although a limiter is not essential to bass amplification it can be a useful tool in smoothing out the character of your instrument or playing style The D 200 limiter has a preset compression ratio of 3 to 1 For each additional increase of 3dB above the set threshold the increase in level is actually 1dB So the dynamic range of your instrument is reduced First set up the limiter by having the compression control 8 set fully clockwise Now switch on the limiter 12 Start playing and turn control 8 counter clockwise You will see the blue light start to come on and that is the indication that the limiter is now working Set this control to suit your taste TRANSPORTING AND STORING THE D 200 When transporting or storing the D200 it is recommended that you always use the gig bag provided That will ensure that you amp has the best protection from dust and will stay looking like new When Storing e Keep ina dry location preferably at room temperature in the gig bag e Do not store in temperatures below 20 Degrees or above 40 Degrees e Do not allow it to get wet If this occurs never turn it on in this condition Donot leave the D 200 permanently connected to a power source SPECIFICATIONS Amplifier PJB 150watt D class amplifier with digital switch mode power supply Frequency Response Passive and Active input 40Hz 20KHz Low Cut Filter 24dB Octave at 40Hz Maximum Output Power 150 watts RMS S
