    Owner’s Manual Hello from the Tone Farm Congratulations! The amplifier you have chosen is born of thoroughbred stock that carries worldwide accolades and is still setting trends with top Artists 35 years after its unveiling. The MARK FIVE: 25, like the MARK FIVE it is born from, is really a collection of iconic amplifiers. There are far too many circuits and sounds to think of it as merely an amp... it’s a living history of MESA/Boogie! From the groundbreaking MARK I that introduced the world to high-gain with it’s cascading preamp, to the Mark II, the world’s first high gain Dual Mode Channel Switching amplifier (and it’s later siblings that introduced Simul-Class™ power). From the MARK III that ushered in the era of 3 Channel footswitching. performance, to the MARK IV which gave all that power individual control, the MARK FIVE (and now the MARK FIVE: 25) is the embodiment of the last 45 years of guitar amp evolution. In this latest 25 Watt incarnation, the sounds and attributes that make MARK Series amps so popular on stage and in the studio are not only shrunk to their smallest possible physical size, but are also further refined and improved. The gorgeous sparkling Cleans and soaring high gain Lead sounds have made the jump successfully across output tube platforms and a new and exciting timbre of the MARK Series voice is created here in the MARK FIVE: 25’s EL84 Duet. Brighter, tighter, more shredding in the top end, a bit more forgiving in feel and exceedingly more clip-able, the FIVE: 25 is right on time.

    User Manual for PHAB - tube microphone preamp' PHAME - tube instrument preamp' & PHI - tube DI box This manual is also available as a pdf download, Go to: www.phaedrus-audio.com Ver. 1.1 - ©Phædrus Audio Ltd. 2011 All rights reserved. Preface – About Phædrus Audio Phædrus Audio was formed to design, manufacture and sell high-quality products for the professional and semi-professional audio market. Phædrus Audio's founders remain inspired by the music and the recording practices of the fifties and sixties, and are motivated to re-establish the values of the great audio-technology legends of the past with their ideals of transparency, hand- built quality, and serviceability. Using modern manufacturing techniques and the benefits of modern component technology, Phædrus Audio's aim is to reproduce the quality and character of classic equipment but in a modern, highly reliable, and cost-effective way. Chapter 1 - Background The Phædrus Audio PHAB, PHAME and PHI products came about because two, recording musicians wanted to own a "classic" console from the nineteen-sixties. Ideally a famous EMI, REDD, all valve (vacuum tube) mixer used to record The Beatles. But those desks make a collection of hen's teeth look positively prosaic - as well as cheap! So, we set about researching with the idea of producing a replica console. In order to do this, first it was necessary to have a design for the amplifier modules around which the mixers of this vintage are organised. In the famous EMI REDD mixers, these amplifiers were either the German manufactured V72(S) amplifiers or the, very rare, EMI built, REDD.47 amplifiers.

  • Triple Crown™ TC-100
    Owner’s Manual Hello from the Tone Farm Congratulations on your choice of the TRIPLE CROWN™ and welcome to the MESA/Boogie® Family!

One look at the thoroughness of the feature set of this amplifier tells you it’s loaded with inspiring tools, but underneath the hood, the au- thenticity of these groundbreaking circuits and features (beware imitators) dates back to our MARK I™ and the very beginning of Modern guitar amplification. So congratulations on your choice… you should feel a sense of pride that you’re playing an amp like no other, an original in every way! Just like you! Our 45+ year commitment to excellence along with our solemn promise to musicians - to treat each of them as we ourselves would wish to be treated - guarantees you an experience that will make you feel truly justified in your choice. We’re confident your new amplifier will have you smiling and inspired within minutes of plugging in for the first time...but what’s really gratifying is that you will be finding new and inspiring sounds years after the price of admission has faded from memory and the TRIPLE CROWN continues to unveil it’s true worth.

Should you ever need assistance or guidance we’re here to help.

  • TL Audio Classic Series
    EQ-2 Dual Parametric Valve EQ PA-1 Dual Pentode Valve Pre-Amp EQ-1 Dual Valve Equaliser PA-2 Dual Valve Mic Pre Amp/DI C-1 Dual Valve Compressor VI-1 8 Channel Valve Interface For more information please email: TL Audio EQ-2 Dual Parametric Valve Equaliser The EQ-2 was launched in response to users who wanted the same unmistakably warm and musical sound of our ground breaking EQ-1 equaliser, but required even more flexibility in the way the signal is processed. The EQ-2 boasts two channels of fully parametric 4 band valve equalisation - which in conjunction with variable high and low cut filters offers unlimited control of any audio source. But that's not all - unlike many valve equalisers, the EQ-2 provides continuously variable frequency controls, so choice of frequency is not limited to switched selections. The EQ-2 also features a pair of the acclaimed TL Audio mic pre amps (with phantom power), to enable high quality direct-to-tape microphone recording, and a pair of front panel auxiliary inputs enable a guitar or keyboard to directly access the EQ-2. Another brilliant refinement is the 'stereo mode' switch - when activated, the EQ controls of channel A automatically process the signal on channel B in an identical fashion - thus the audio signals through both channels have the same EQ applied to them: ideal for precise equalisation of stereo sources and overall mixes. Quite simply, we believe that the EQ-2 is one of the best sounding and most versatile equalisers currently available! The EQ-2 employs a total of six valve stages per channel: one in each of the four EQ bands, followed by a pair in the output stage.

APPLICATION The Delsar Life Detector Model LD3 provides seismic and acoustic sensors designed to detect and locate signs of a victim’s presence in the voids of a collapsed building or similar entrapment situation. OPERATIONAL POLICY This section intentionally left blank. OPERATIONAL GUIDELINE This section intentionally left blank. PROCESS Battery Installation The battery is inserted into the battery housing located on the right side of the display indicator (DI) as shown. (See Figure 1.) Section 306.027 Page 1 of 33 Figure 1 1. Remove the threaded battery cap by turning counter-clockwise. 2. Place a battery pack into the unit, inserting the small-diameter end first. Note: The LD3B needs to be stored with the battery removed from the unit. 3. Replace the battery cap by turning it clockwise. 4. Make sure the battery cap is firmly seated. Avoid cross-threading and do not over tighten. (See Figure 2.) Figure 2 Sensor Connection • The seismic sensors detect ultra-low levels of vibration created within and around the structure. The sensors convert the minute structure-borne vibrations into an electrical signal which is then amplified thousands of times.
