True to the Music Radial Engineering Headbone Owner ’ s Manual Congratulations on your purchase of a Radial Headbone! As part of the growing family of T onebone products, the Headbone is de- signed .
INTRODUCTION Whether you have a Headbone VT or a Headbone SS, the setups and connections are identical. For simplicity , this manual will discuss the Headbone VT . It is important to note that because of the very different nature of solid-state amps and valve-tube amps, each Headbone’s internal circuit is different.
True to the Music Radial Engineering Headbone Owner ’ s Manual Why is this setup so cool? Because it truly covers all of the bases: the powerful clean sound from a 100-W att amp is radically different than an all-tube 30-W att amp cranked to 10. Not just as far as loudness goes, but also as far as tone.
True to the Music Radial Engineering Headbone Owner ’ s Manual FEA TURE SET 1. Input Buffered – This is the primary input for your guitar and pedal effects that do not buf fer (pre-amplify) the signal. 2. Input Direct – Used when driving the Headbone from a device, like the Radial Loopbone, that buffers (pre-amplifies) the signal.
True to the Music Radial Engineering Headbone Owner ’ s Manual output jack back to the Headbone. This is a speaker level signal, so use a good quality speaker cable for best power transfer . 8. From Amp-2 Output – Connects from the second amplifier ’s speaker output jack back to the Headbone.
True to the Music Radial Engineering Headbone Owner ’ s Manual 5 Before making any connections, ensure that your ampli- fiers are turned off, the Headbone power supply is disc on- nected, and volume controls are set to zero. 1. Begin by connecting your guitar to the Headbone’ s ¼” Buffered Input .
True to the Music Radial Engineering Headbone Owner ’ s Manual 6 Throughout this manual, referenc es are made to “guitar level signals” and “speaker level signals”. The Headbone passes both types and it is important to use the proper cables.
True to the Music Radial Engineering Headbone Owner ’ s Manual T o best explain the workings of the Headbone, take a minute to study the block diagram. Reading from left to right, you can see the inputs, the high-impedance guitar switching, the control circuitry and the speaker level switching.
True to the Music Radial Engineering Headbone Owner ’ s Manual 8 to avoid any clicks or pops. The PIC digital controller controls this action (see block diagram on page 7).
True to the Music Radial Engineering Headbone Owner ’ s Manual ance. Y ou must manage the speaker connections for the best impedance match. It is important to note that most amplifiers are designed to work best at their rated impedance. If your amp features selectab le impedance loads, use the one that matches your speaker cabinet.
True to the Music Radial Engineering Headbone Owner ’ s Manual 10 from electrical shock. Most amplifiers have been subjecte d to safety tests from authorities like UL or CSA. Amplifiers that have passed these tests are safe to use with your Headbone.
True to the Music Radial Engineering Headbone Owner ’ s Manual 11 F AQ Q: I heard that tube amps must always see a speaker load or else they will blow up. Is this true? A: This is true. T o deal with this, the Headbone is equipped to manage two loads: the speaker for the active amp and a load resistor for the standby amp.
True to the Music Radial Engineering Headbone Owner ’ s Manual 12 amps and speaker can I be? A: As a general rule, we do not recommend running cables any more than 20 feet as you are subjecting the signal to increased resistance. If you are intent on doing so, use good quality cables.
