Þjónusta er nauðsynleg þegar tækið hefur skemmst á einhvern hátt, svo sem að rafmagnssnúra eða kló er skemmd, vökvi hefur hellst niður eða hlutir hafa fallið inn í tækið, tækið hefur orðið fyrir rigningu eða raka, virkar ekki eðlilega , eða hefur verið fellt niður.
- Loftræsting: Do not block any ventilation openings. Ensure proper airflow around the amplíflegri.
- Jarðtenging: Þetta amplifier must be grounded. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug.
- Rör: Slöngur amplifiers operate at high voltages and generate significant heat. Do not attempt to replace tubes or service the internal components unless you are a qualified technician.

4. Uppsetning
4.1 Upptaka og staðsetning
Fjarlægðu varlega ampLosarinn úr umbúðunum. Setjið amplifier on a stable, level surface, ensuring adequate ventilation around the unit. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
4.2 Rafmagnstenging
- Tryggðu að amplifier's power switch is in the 'OFF' position and the standby switch is in 'STANDBY'.
- Connect the supplied mains power cable to the 'Mains Input' on the rear panel and then to a suitable grounded power outlet.
4.3 Tenging hljóðfæris og hátalara
- Connect your guitar to the 'Input' jack on the front panel using a high-quality instrument cable.
- If using an external speaker cabinet, connect it to the appropriate 'Speaker Outputs' on the rear panel, ensuring correct impedance matching. The internal speaker is 16 Ohm.
- For silent practice or recording, connect to the 'Emulated Output' or 'USB Audio' as needed.
5. Notkunarleiðbeiningar
5.1 Kveikt og slökkt
- Kveikt á: With the standby switch in 'STANDBY', turn the 'Power' switch to 'ON'. Allow approximately 2-3 minutes for the tubes to warm up.
- After the warm-up period, switch the 'Standby' switch to 'ON' to activate the amplíflegri.
- Slökkva á: Switch the 'Standby' switch to 'STANDBY'.
- Turn the 'Power' switch to 'OFF'.
5.2 Channel Operation
- Hrein rás: Use the 'Volume', 'Bass', and 'Treble' controls to dial in your desired clean tone. The 'Voice' switch provides additional tonal options.
- Overdrive Channel: Engage the overdrive channel using the footswitch or the front panel switch. Adjust 'Gain' for distortion level, 'Volume' for channel output, and 'Bass', 'Middle', 'Treble' for EQ. The 'ISF' control allows continuous blending between British and American amplifier characteristics. The 'Voice' switch offers further tonal variations.
5.3 Reverb and Master Volume
- Reverb: Adjust the 'Reverb' knob to control the amount of digital reverb applied to your sound.
- Master Volume: This control sets the overall output level of the amplifier, affecting both channels.
5.4 Emulated Output and USB Audio
- Emulated Output: Connect to a mixing console or recording interface for a speaker-emulated signal. This is useful for direct recording or live sound reinforcement without miking the speaker.
- USB hljóð: Connect to your computer via a USB cable for direct digital recording. Refer to Blackstar's website for driver installation and software compatibility.
5.5 Power Reduction
The HT Club 40 Mark II features a power reduction option, allowing you to switch between 40 Watts and 4 Watts output. This is ideal for achieving saturated tube tones at lower volumes for home practice or smaller venues. Consult the amplifier's specific controls for engaging this feature, typically found on the rear panel or via a dedicated switch.
6. Viðhald
6.1 Þrif
Hreinsaðu amplifier's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the amplifier is unplugged before cleaning.
6.2 Tube Replacement
Vacuum tubes have a finite lifespan and will eventually need replacement. Symptoms of worn tubes include reduced output, loss of tone, or excessive noise. Due to high internal voltages and the need for proper biasing, tube replacement and biasing should only be performed by a qualified service technician. Incorrect biasing can lead to premature tube failure and damage to the amplíflegri.
6.3 Almenn umönnun
- Forðastu að afhjúpa amplifier að miklum hita eða raka.
- Flytja á amplifier carefully to prevent physical damage.
- Always use appropriate speaker cables for connections; never use instrument cables for speakers.
