Scherer Deluxe Series amplifiers arth direct resut of Stephan Schr’ 35 yrs sent developing professional quality transducers and amplification systems. Mr, Scere’ iflong decation and pasion to offer musians simply the best acoustic sound reinforcement has resulted in these astonishing amplifiers Accuracy ond “honesty” of sound has clays been the focus at Scherer, and over pst decades Stephan Scheer has introduced many unique innovation othe music industry Iovations such asthe DYN-Series ond STA Saris rasducer or sc Seres amplifiers have made if bette for thousands of musicians and sound engineers around he world. Deluxe Series amplifiers define ane sandardin acoustic instrument amplification. The transparency, rity, warmth and accuracy ofthese al-new amplifiers must be heard tobe belived. Scherler Deluxe Series amplifies are si The new Deluxe sere hasbeen designed wth the purpose of improving is sound performances (in quality and in power) ond offering to the music ll that can be necessary for hs neds. two input channels for oll kind of microphones and pick-ups three ouput nes with mubiple connections and a wide range af tonal controls ‘ne headphone ouput wth its own volume contol ne more input channel for external effects or oter sources oN Every single section has been thought and engineered to avoid tS ] e@ every posible problematic coming fom oll kindof sound ‘sources. 7 Pleose find below possible uses ofthe Deluxe Amplfis 1. MIGIN / DYWIN: enables the connection ofa SCHERTLER DYN-Seres system, condenser microphone or any dynamic microphone (if necessory, res the 48V bution on the channel o power the microphone). 2. STATIN / LINEN: enables the connection of SCHERTLER STAT Series microphone, «keyboard or anyother instrument with apre-amphifid output signal (if necessary, press the TOV button onthe channel o power he microphone). 3. DLOUE signal canbe set to external sjstoms, for example fo another mixer. 4. LINE-OUT: signal canbe sent fo anather active loudspeaker, for instance, and to ensure volume contro on oth Using wth bas, keyboards orto increse overall bass response, SCHERTLER strongly recammends ihe use ofa subwoofer such asthe SCHERTLER BASS200. Connect the LINE.OUT fo the INPUT of he sub-woofer, pres the LOW CUT onthe DAVID, foro three-way (implied) sytem. 5. AUI-OUT: enables you to send your signal to external device. For increased volume or wider coverage, connect an active extension loudspecker such os the SCHERTLER SIDE (180¥) or the SCHERTLER PUB 280 (280W) subwoofer and adjust output volume using the ‘AUX-VOL potentiometer ernatvly, if you wish o record your music, connec your recorder othe some output ond start recording 6. INSERT: enables the conncetion of any external audio control effect. For easier volume contro, you can use the “UNICO VOLUME CONTROL PEDAL” vio the INSERT functionACTIVE FILTERS - Fa 1.1.
