Genz Benz Shen 100 User Manual

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION – The Shenandoah™ Acoustic 100 is confi gured as a 2 channel – 4 input 100
watt acoustic instrument amplifi er. Each channel is equipped with both a ¼” unbalanced line input and an XLR
balanced microphone input (with phantom power). The 2 inputs on each channel are summed (mixed) together at a
1:1 ratio. Each channel then passes through independent 3 band equalizers with a sweepable midrange frequency.
Equalization centers were carefully selected for use with acoustic instruments. Each channel also contains
individual send controls to the on-board Alesis® 15 program digital effects circuit. The channel signals are then
summed together, mixed with the digital effects return and passed on to the internal 100 watt power amplifi er. The
back panel contains 3 direct balanced outputs with ground lift switch, 3 unbalanced line outputs, an effects loop,
effects cancel jack, fan on/off switch and 2-1/4” speaker jacks.
