ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
As previously mentioned, Eden is the only bass amplifier manufacturer to
design, engineer and build its own drivers. Designing and building our own
speakers and high-frequency drivers allows us an opportunity to create far
greater synergy between our drivers and cabinets than any other
manufacturer can achieve. We can create several speaker and/or cabinet
prototypes and then test them together to find the best possible combination.
No other manufacturer has this capability, which is why no other
manufacturer can equal Eden’s sound and reliability.
Eden CX loudspeakers feature edge-wound voice coils and our true coaxial
speaker design. In cabinets with more than one speaker, only the top speaker
is coaxial.
We manufacture a broad array of enclosures to ensure the every bassist on
the planet can find the perfect cabinets to match his or her playing style and
personal tonal requirements. Our enclosures are grouped into the product
lines outlined below. Each product group has its own tonal characteristics.
For complete specifications on your particular cabinet, refer to Appendix A
at the end of this manual.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Mechanical and Thermal Issues – During operation, your amplifier should
always be placed away from sources of moisture or heat. Care should be
taken not to obstruct the ventilation holes on the bottom and sides of the
unit. In the event of thermal shutdown, you should eliminate the cause of the
thermal problem (poor ventilation, speaker loads lower than 2 ohms)
immediately. The supplied rack ears can be used to install your amplifier in
a conventional equipment rack for protection during transportation.
Electrical Connection – The CXC combo requires at least 10 Amps of
correctly wired alternating current for proper operation. Providing less than
10 Amps of power may result in poor amplifier performance and bad tone,
so it’s probably not a good idea to plug all of your band’s gear into a single
wall outlet.
Connections – All instrument-level input connections (everything but the
speakers) should be made with high quality shielded cables. The use of
speaker cables for input connections will result in excess noise.
