Andrew Barta incorporated Tech 21 and made his invention commercially available to players and studios around the world. His highly-acclaimed SansAmp™ pioneered Tube Amplifier Emulation in professional applications for recording direct and performing live, and created an entirely new category of signal processing. While there have since been many entries into this niche, SansAmp continues to maintain its reputation as the industry standard. After developing a full line of SansAmp models, Tech 21 expanded its offerings to include effect pedals; a compact, battery operable MIDI footcontroller, the MIDI Mouse;as well as “traditional” style amplifiers for guitar and bass. Each product is thoughtfully and respectfully designed by B. Andrew Barta himself with the player in mind. Our goal is to provide you with flexible, versatile tools to cultivate, control, refine and redefine your own individual sound. Tech 21 takes great pride in delivering consistent professional quality sound, studio to studio, club to club, arena to arena. POWER ENGINE SERIES, AN OVERVIEW The Power Engine Series concept began as a simple, all-purpose 1x12 open-back powered cabinet. The goal, initially, was to provide pure, transparent sound to amplify our own line of SansAmp Tube Amplifier Emulators after having to address the most often asked question, “Which amplifier should I use with my SansAmp?” During the engineering process, the Power Engine evolved into a stand-alone “preamp amplifier” that could be used with any direct recording device or preamp from any manufacturer. The Power Engine was also designed to complement our Trademark Series of traditional amplifiers for players whose volume requirements vary from gig to gig. The next most often asked question was for those with SansAmp rackmount models: “Which power amp should I use?” It became apparent we should build our own instrumentpower amplifiers for large-venue capacity. Both formats, 300-watt/4-Ohm mono or 400-watt/8-Ohm stereo, fit into a 2U rack space. The oversized power supply with a toroidal transformer delivers pneumatic punch with a natural transient response for tone that is uncolored and unaltered. These costlier transformers are lighter in weight and reduce stray magnetic fields that cause interference and hum. Each model is touring tough and super-reliable. Top-quality Toshiba power transistors and a heat-sensor equipped cooling fan furnish non-stop, full RMS-watt power, rather than pulse or peak power. 1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. HEED ALL WARNINGS. This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts the user to important operating and maintenance instructions in the accompanying literature. Read the manual. This unit is powered by potentially hazardous voltage. Therefore, observe the following safety precautions: 1. Read and follow all instructions before using product. 2. Do not use product near water (such as near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, swimming pool, in a wet basement, etc.). 3. Unit should be located so that its location or position does not impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings. 4. Product should be located away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, or other products, including amplifiers, that produce heat. 5. Product should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the product. 6. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit. 7. Do not allow objects or liquids to penetrate the enclosure through openings. 8. During heavy use, chassis may get hot to the touch. Handle with care. 9. Protect unit from strong impact. 10. Unplug product before cleaning. Never spray liquid cleaners into the amp: wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth to remove dirt and film. 11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. 12. This product should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/product combination to avoid injury from tipping over. 13. Amplifiers may be capable of producing high volume levels that could cause permanent hearing loss or damage, if the exposure to such levels is prolonged. Such damage is progressive and irreversible! If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult an audiologist. 14. Unplug unit during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. 2 15. This unit must be earth grounded. To reduce the risk of electric shock, NEVER remove or otherwise attempt to defeat the ground pin of the power cord. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for repla...
