Familiarize yourself with the front panel controls and rear panel connections of your LA-Studio amplivligere.
Figur 4.1: Frontpanel view of the Laney Supergroup LA-Studio amplifier head, showing controls and inputs.
Kontrol på frontpanelet:
- Afbryderen: Skifter mellem amplifier's main power ON or OFF.
- BRAKE Switch: Engages or disengages the internal reactive load for silent recording or practice.
- PRESENCE-knap: Adjusts the high-frequency response, adding sparkle and clarity.
- BAS knap: Styrer lavfrekvensudligningen.
- MIDTERSTE knap: Styrer udligningen af mellemfrekvenserne.
- TREBLE knap: Styrer udligningen af højfrekvente lyde.
- GAIN knap: Justerer inputfølsomheden og mængden af overdrive.
- BASS Input Jack: Primary input for guitar, optimized for a fuller low-end response.
- TREBLE Input Jack: Alternative input for guitar, optimized for a brighter, more articulate response.
Tilslutninger på bagpanelet (ikke vist):
- Højttaler output: Connect to a suitable speaker cabinet (e.g., 8 or 16 Ohm).
- Balanced DI Output (XLR): For direct connection to a mixing console or audio interface. This output utilizes the Two Notes Torpedo technology for cabinet simulation.
- Hovedtelefonudgang (6.35 mm jack): Til lydløs øvelse med hovedtelefoner.
- USB-port: For connecting to a computer to access Two Notes Torpedo software for IR loading and parameter tweaking.
- Strømindgang: Tilslut den medfølgende strømledning.
5. Opsætning
- Placering: Place the LA-Studio on a stable, level surface, ensuring adequate ventilation.
- Speaker/Load Connection:
- For traditional use with a speaker cabinet: Connect a speaker cable from the amplifier's Speaker Output to your speaker cabinet. Ensure the cabinet's impedance matches the amplifier's output setting (if applicable, though this model is 3W and likely has a fixed output impedance or internal load).
- For silent recording/practice: The internal reactive load is engaged via the BRAKE switch. You can use the DI Out or Headphone Out without a physical speaker cabinet connected.
- Guitarforbindelse: Connect your guitar to either the BASS or TREBLE input jack on the front panel using a high-quality instrument cable.
- Strømtilslutning: Ensure the POWER switch is in the OFF position. Connect the supplied power cord to the amplifier's power input and then to a grounded AC outlet.
- DI/USB Connections (Optional):
- For recording or live sound: Connect an XLR cable from the Balanced DI Output to your audio interface or mixing console.
- For advanced control and IR loading: Connect a USB cable from the USB port to your computer and install the necessary Two Notes Torpedo software.
6. Betjeningsvejledning
- Tænd: Ensure all connections are secure. Flip the POWER switch to the ON position. The indicator light will illuminate.
- Indledende indstillinger: Start with all tone controls (BASS, MIDDLE, TREBLE, PRESENCE) at their center (5) position and the GAIN knob at a low setting.
- Justering af tone:
- GEVINST: Increase the GAIN knob to achieve more overdrive and sustain. Lower settings provide cleaner tones.
- BAS, MELLEM, DISKANT: Adjust these controls to shape the amplifier's tonal character. Experiment to find your desired sound.
- TILSTEDEVÆRELSE: Use the PRESENCE knob to add brightness and cut through the mix.
- Using the BRAKE Switch: When engaged (ON), the BRAKE switch activates the internal reactive load, allowing you to use the amplifier's tube tone without a speaker cabinet. This is ideal for silent recording via the DI Out or practice with headphones. Ensure a speaker cabinet is disconnected when using the BRAKE function for silent operation.
- Two Notes Torpedo Integration: The LA-Studio features integrated Two Notes Torpedo technology. When using the Balanced DI Output or Headphone Output, this technology provides high-quality cabinet simulations (DynIRs). Connect via USB to your computer to customize and load different DynIRs, adjust microphone placement, and fine-tune other parameters using the Two Notes software.
- Brug af hovedtelefoner: Connect headphones to the Headphone Output for private practice. The volume will be controlled by the amplifier's overall output level (if applicable, or a dedicated headphone volume if present, which is not explicitly listed but implied).
- Sluk: Before disconnecting any cables or moving the amplifier, flip the POWER switch to the OFF position and allow the unit to cool down.
7. Vedligeholdelse
- Rensning: Rengør amplifier with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ventilation: Regularly check that ventilation openings are clear of dust and debris.
- Udskiftning af rør: Vacuum tubes have a finite lifespan. If you notice a decrease in performance or unusual noise, tubes may need replacement. This procedure involves high voltages and should only be performed by qualified service technicians.
- Opbevaring: Når den ikke er i brug i længere perioder, skal den opbevares ampOpbevar apparatet på et køligt, tørt sted, væk fra direkte sollys og ekstreme temperaturer.
8. Fejlfinding

|---|---|---|
| Ingen lyd | Power not on; speaker/load not connected; guitar cable faulty; volume/gain too low. | Ensure POWER switch is ON. Verify speaker/load connection. Check guitar cable. Increase GAIN and other volume controls. |
| Svag eller forvrænget lyd | Faulty tubes; incorrect impedance match; damaged speaker cable; input signal too hot. | Consult a qualified technician for tube inspection/replacement. Ensure correct speaker impedance. Check speaker cable. Adjust guitar output or amplifier GAIN. |
| Brummen eller uønsket støj | Ground loop; faulty cables; proximity to other electronic devices; worn tubes. | Try a different power outlet. Use shielded cables. Move away from other electronics. Consult technician for tube check. |
| DI output not working | XLR cable faulty; mixer/interface input issue; BRAKE switch not engaged (if silent operation desired). | Check XLR cable. Verify mixer/interface settings. Ensure BRAKE switch is ON for silent DI use. |
