Its small footprint, hard hitting output and multiple inputs make it perfect for use in the bedroom or rehearsal. The aux in allows you to play tunes directly from your phone making practising fun and engaging. The DH40 also has a headphone socket, making it possible to practise with minimal distraction to others.

CONTROLS

DH40 FRONT PANEL

• INPUT 1 JACK
  • Connect an external electronic drum/sound module. Uses 6.3mm jack
• INPUT 2 JACK
  • Connect an external electronic drum/sound module. Uses 6.3mm jack
• INPUT 1 LEVEL
  • Adjust the volume of the device connected to input 1
• INPUT 2 LEVEL
  • Adjust the volume of the device connected to input 2
• BASS
  • Adjusts the low-end response of the signal. Turning it clockwise increases the amount of bottom-end, giving you a fuller tone. As the amplifier is driven harder and louder you may find the need to dial out a little bass to stop it getting muddy.
• TREBLE
  • Adjusts the high frequency content of the signal. Turning it clockwise increases the amount of top-end, giving your tone clarity and brightness. Turning it anti clockwise will produce a warmer sound, ideal for smoother tones.
• AUX IN
  • 3.5mm stereo jack to connect a backing track to the mix from your audio playing device such as .
• HEADPHONES
  • 3.5mm socket to connect a pair of headphones for silent practise. Make sure to initially keep input levels low so as to not cause any hearing damage. Adjust levels accordingly to a comfortable volume for listening.
• POWER INDICATOR
  • LED that indicates the amplifier is powered up.
• POWER SWITCH
  • Flick switch to turn on and off when power supply is plugged in to the supplied power supply unit.

DH40 REAR PANEL

• POWER IN
  • Included power supply runs universally at 100-240V~.

Warning: Only connect the provided 15V 42W power supply to the DC inlet.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS

In order to take full advantage of your new product and enjoy long and trouble-free performance, please read this owner’s manual carefully, and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

1. Unpacking: On unpacking your product please check carefully for any signs of damage that may have occurred whilst in transit from the Laney factory to your dealer. In the unlikely event that there has been damage, please re-pack your unit in its original carton and consult your dealer. We strongly advise you to keep your original transit carton, since in the unlikely event that your unit should develop a fault, you will be able to return it to you dealer for rectification securely packed.

2. Amplifier Connection: In order to avoid damage, Generally it is advisable to establish and follow a pattern for turning on and off your system. With all system parts connected, turn on source equipment, mixers, effects processors etc, BEFORE turning on your amplifier. Many products have large transient surges at turn on and off which can cause damage to your speakers. By turning on your amplifier LAST and making sure its level control is set to a minimum, any transients from other equipment should not reach your loud speakers. Wait till all system parts have stabilised, usually a couple of seconds. Similarly when turning off your system always turn down the level controls on your amplifier and then turn off its power before turning off other equipment.

3. Cables: Never use shielded or microphone cable for any speaker connections as this will not be substantial enough to handle the amplifier load and could cause damage to your complete system. Use good quality shielded cables everywhere else.

4. Servicing: The user should not attempt to service these products. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

5. Heed all warnings.

6. Follow all instructions.

7. Do not use this apparatus near water.

8. Clean only with a dry cloth.

9. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

10. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

11. An apparatus with Class I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective connection. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

12. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point they exit from the apparatus.

13. Only use attachments/accessories provided by the manufacturer.

14. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

15. The mains plug or appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device and shall remain readily operable. The user should allow easy access to any mains plug, mains coupler and mains switch used in conjunction with this unit thus making it readily operable. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

16. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

17. Never break off the ground pin. Connect only to a power supply of the type marked on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord.

18. If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.

19. Note for UK only: If the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this unit do not correspond with the terminals in your plug‚ proceed as follows:

    • The wire that is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal that is marked by the letter E‚ the earth symbol‚ coloured green or coloured green and yellow.
    • The wire that is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N or the colour black.
    • The wire that is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L or the colour red.

20. This electrical apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and care should be taken not to place objects containing liquids, such as vases, upon the apparatus.

21. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health
    Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures: According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Earplugs or protectors to the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss, if exposure is in excess of the limits as set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as this amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.

22. If your appliance features a tilting mechanism or a kickback style cabinet, please use this design feature with caution. Due to the ease with which the amplifier can be moved between straight and tilted back positions, only use the amplifier on a level, stable surface. DO NOT operate the amplifier on a desk, table, shelf or otherwise unsuitable non-stable platform.

23. Symbols & nomenclature used on the product and in the product manuals, intended to alert the operator to areas where extra caution may be necessary, are as follows:
    | Intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated ‘Dangerous Voltage’ within the products enclosure that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of electrical shock to persons.
