TOP PANEL FEATURES
INPUT JACK
This jack accepts any standard instrument cable that connects via 1/4" plugs. The Workingman’s 10 Input Jack accomodates
both passive and active instruments. The high input impedance assures perfect compatibility for all active/passive/magnetic
and piezo pick-up systems.
VOLUME CONTROL
Turning the Volume Control clockwise or toward “Max” increases the volume of the Workingman’s 10. Turning it counter-clock-
wise or toward “Min” decreases the volume. If the Volume Control is in the full counter-clockwise position, no sound will be audi-
ble.
Playing your Workingman’s 10 at excessive volume can result in clipping of the power amplifier section. If you hear distortion
through your speakers, decrease the setting of the Volume Control. Clipping will not harm the Workingman’s 10 electronics, but
can cause damage to the internal speaker components and is not recommended.
NOTE: Overdriving the Workingman’s 10 for extended periods of time can activate the amplifier’s thermal protection circuitry,
resulting in temporary loss of output.
If you require more volume than the Workingman’s single 10" speaker can provide, we recommend adding an extension speak-
er cabinet with an impedance of no less than 8 ohms.
AURAL ENHANCER
The Aural Enhancer was developed to bring out the fundamental low notes of the bass, reduce certain frequencies that can
“mask” fundamentals, and enhance the high-end transients. The effect becomes more pronounced as the control is turned up.
The result is a more transparent sound. Listening to a passive bass with the control set all the way down, and then turning it all
the way up, can be likened to listening to the bass suddenly becoming “active.”
TONE CONTROL SECTION
The Workingman’s 10 Tone Control section is a three-band set of level controls centered around the frequencies 80 Hz (bass),
800 Hz (mid range) and 5kHz (treble). Each control can cut or boost its band a maximum of 15dB. Each control has a flat (cen-
ter click) position that defeats its function.
In this position, the tone controls are inactive.
For each tone control, rotating the knob counter-clockwise from the center “click” position will reduce or cut its designated fre-
quency. Rotating the knob clockwise will boost its designated band or frequency.
