INTRODUCTION
TA40R / TA40CR / TA60 / TA80
This range of portable amplification has been based on the preamplifier design of the Trace Acoustic
TA35 amplifier. The TA35 has been replaced by the TA40 - the only difference between these units is
a power upgrade from 35 watts to 40 watts rms.
The principle difference between the amplifiers is the power output and loudspeaker configuration.
The TA80 has power output stages delivering 40 watts rms each. These drive into 1 x 10” and 2 x
5” loudspeakers respectively. This configuration was found to be preferable to one 80 watt output
stage as the two power amplifiers each feature their own dynamic correction, enabling more
accurate reproduction of the total range of frequencies produced by an acoustic guitar. The open
back cabinet design produces a loud, more open sound that projects in a manner similar to that of
an electric guitar amplifier.
The TA60 is something of a departure from the standard Trace Acoustic range. It is a 50 watt
combo, delivering its power into 2 x 8” loudspeakers and a high frequency tweeter. This speaker
configuration gives a sound with more emphasised bass and treble frequencies, which is
particularly suited to those players who prefer a more ‘produced’ sound from their acoustic guitar.
By careful control of the equalisation and notch filters, a loud and natural sound can be obtained,
with accurate reproduction of the percussive attack of the strings and pick / fingers.

Input/Input switch
There is a single INPUT jack socket that will perfectly match ACTIVE instruments with their own
internal preamp and passive instruments with just a PIEZO pickup or transducer by selecting either
type with the switch adjacent to this socket.
With the input sensitivity set to PIEZO (switch out) the input impedance is extremely high i.e 4
million Ohms. This will perfectly match any PIEZO device giving a clear and accurate response with
no degradation to the signal.
With the input sensitivity set to ACTIVE (switch in) the impedance is much lower 47k Ohms and the
sensitivity much lower. This will match instruments with a built in preamp without fear of clipping
the input. If however your active instrument has an insufficient level of output to light the LEVEL
LED (as some do) then it is perfectly alright to switch back to the PIEZO setting to increase the
sensitivity to a level that works best with your instrument.
Input gain/level indication
The GAIN control should be set in conjunction with the LEVEL LED. When correctly set the amplifier
should perform with very little background noise. It is therefore important to set the GAIN control
correctly using the following method:
1. Plug the instrument into the input jack and select the appropriate INPUT sensitivity.
2. Play the instrument in the style that you would use it e.g. strumming, finger picking etc.
3. Increase the GAIN control until the LEVEL LED is lighting quite often.
4. Decrease the GAIN control so that the LEVEL LED is only lighting on peaks.
5. If the LED cannot be made to light whilst playing then do the following:-
If your instrument is an ACTIVE one then either turn its own level control up further or switch the
INPUT sensitivity to PIEZO and try again.

If the instrument uses just a piezo pickup then you will have to leave the GAIN control set on
maximum as this is the best setting you can achieve.
N.B. as the LEVEL indication is driven from after the equalisation circuits, it may be necessary
to re-adjust the GAIN control once the equalisation has been altered.
Phase switch
The ‘PHASE’ switch has two distinct uses, firstly, by reversing the phase of the signal,
feedback from the guitar can very often be considerably reduced, this is dependent upon
the position of the player relative to the amplifier and the switch may need to be either
“in” or “out” depending on player position and the frequency of feedback. This is an ideal
way of reducing feedback as it introduces no change at all to the sound of the
instrument. However this will only work if the amplifier to player distance is fixed as is
often the case with a performer sitting down next to their amplifier.
The second use of the PHASE switch is with the dual pick up system where reversing the
phase of one channel can enhance the effectiveness of the dual pick up depending on the
position of the microphone within the body of the instrument. Again this can also
minimise the chances of feedback.
Description of how the ‘Phase’ switch reduces feedback
If the distance from the instrument to the amplifier is fixed i.e. the player is sitting down
next to or in front of their amplifier then the speakers reproducing the sound of the
instrument set up a series of standing waves, the length of these standing waves is
dependent upon their frequency.
Now as feedback from acoustic guitars is always at fairly low frequencies then the
standing waves associated with it are quite long. If you happen to be sitting at the node
(i.e. the most sensitive spot) of one of these standing waves then feedback is quite likely
to occur as the wave will tend to excite the body of the instrument into resonance.
If however you are sitting at the antinode (least sensitive spot) the feedback will be
unlikely to occur. By simply reversing the phase of the signal through the amplifier you
are in effect reversing the positions of the nodes and antinodes within the standing wave
and consequently changing your relative position in relation to the amplifier i.e. switching
yourself from sitting in a node to sitting in an antinode and thus reducing the likelihood
of feedback occurring.

Lo-trim control
The LO- TRIM control is for adjusting the bass end of the instruments sound. This is a BOOST
and CUT type of control i.e. its FLAT (no EQ) position is in its central position with BOOST when
the control is turned to the right and CUT when turned to the left.
The range and effect of this control has been tailored to best suit the requirements of an acoustic
instrument. In use try not to add too much BOOST as this increases the possibility of feedback
from the body of the instrument.
Always start with this control set to its central or FLAT position and get to know the amplified flat
sound of your instrument well before starting to add any equalisation.
Hi-trim control
The HI-TRIM control is for adjusting the treble end of the instrument sound. This is a BOOST and
CUT type of control i.e. its FLAT (no EQ) position is in its central position with BOOST when the
control is turned to the right and CUT when turned to the left.
The range and effect of this control has been tailored to best suit the requirements of an acoustic
instrument.
Always start with this control set to its central or FLAT position and get to know the amplified flat
sound of your instrument well before starting to add any equalisation.
Notch control
The NOTCH is a special type of control that removes a narrow band of frequencies from the audio
spectrum. The band of frequencies removed is kept very narrow so as not to unduly effect the
sound of the instrument. The NOTCH control adjusts where in the audio range this band of
frequencies is placed and within this unit the adjustable range has been optimised for acoustic
guitar.
This is an extremely useful device for an acoustic guitar as it allows the natural body resonance of
the instrument to be ‘Tuned Out’ which in turn enables a far higher level of amplification to be
achieved before feedback. The NOTCH may be switched ‘in’ and ‘out’ with the switch adjacent to
the NOTCH control.
To use the NOTCH facility to its best advantage first of all switch it ‘out’ of circuit, turn up the
MASTER LEVEL control until the instrument starts to feedback (it is very often the ‘A’ string that
goes first), switch the notch ‘in’ and adjust the NOTCH control until feedback either goes away or
is reduced. This is the optimum position for your instrument.
6

Feedback is the amplified sound of the guitar getting back to the instrument from the loud
speakers and exciting it into resonance. Your position relative to the amplification system will effect
the sensitivity of your instrument to feedback. If you have adjusted the NOTCH control to its
optimum position to reduce any initial feedback and you are still having trouble then you will either
have to change your position relative to the speakers use the PHASE switch or turn the unit down
a bit.
Channels
Two channels are available, both of these are identical in facilities. These may either be used for
two separate instruments or for a two pick up system where a piezo transducer is used on the
bridge and a small microphone is used inside the guitar. In this instance each of the two pick ups
would have their own individual channel for adjustment.
Balance slider
The BALANCE slider allows the two channels to be balanced one against the other in level and is
ideal for the two pick up system described above to achieve a good balance between the piezo pick
up and the microphone.
Master level control
This sets the overall volume and should not need to be set beyond 1/4 to 1/2 its full scale for
normal use of the unit. If it needs to be turned beyond these settings then you have not got the
input GAIN correctly adjusted, consequently you will have more background noise than you
should. Reduce the setting of the MASTER LEVEL control and increase the setting of the input
GAIN control to improve this situation.
Pull shape
In addition to the HI and LO TRIM equalisation controls there is a PRESHAPE facility built into the
unit. This may be switched ‘in’ and ‘out’ with the PULL switch on the MASTER LEVEL control.
The PRESHAPE facility is like a preset graphic equaliser built in, that you can switch in and out to
modify the sound of the instrument.
The PRESHAPE is the classic TRACE ACOUSTIC shape as found on the TA50, TA100 and TA200
amplifiers, it adds a boost at both the low end and the high end of the frequency spectrum as well
7

as a cut at mid frequencies. Its sound is ideal for both finger picking and strumming styles of
playing and adds a ‘Sparkle” to the amplified sound.
Chorus
The chorus is switched into circuit with the PULL switch on the chorus DEPTH control. There is
also a foot switch socket on the rear of the unit for switching the chorus in and out, however the
front panel switch must already be ‘on’ for this footswitch facility to function.
The CHORUS section has controls for the DEPTH and the SPEED of the effect and when switched
into the circuit it effects both channels equally.
Reverb
A spring REVERB is provided and is switched into the circuit with the PULL switch on the reverb
LEVEL control. There is also a foot switch socket on the rear of the unit for switching the reverb in
and out, however the front front panel switch must already be ‘on’ for this footswitch facility to
function.
On the TA40R the reverb has controls for level and tone. On the other models only a level control
is available.
Mains inlet socket
The MAINS INLET SOCKET is placed on the rear panel. Above this the required mains voltage will
be clearly marked. Make sure this is correct for your country prior to connecting the supply to the
unit.

Mains fuse
The amplifier should be supplied with the correct fuse fitted for your country. If it is necessary to
change this fuse at any time replace it only with one of the same type and rating as indicated for
your countries voltage adjacent to the fuse holder.
Power On/Off
This is located on the rear panel and is clearly marked as to which position is ON or OFF. Make
sure this switch is in its OFF position prior to connecting the mains supply cable.
Earth lift switch
An EARTH LIFT switch is provided to allow removal of the mains earth from the signal circuits to
eliminate ground loops between connected equipment.
This amp as with all TRACE ELLIOT equipment still maintains an earth connection to the chassis
and all metal parts of the unit for safety reasons even when the EARTH LIFT switch is operated.
NEVER lift the earth or grounding to any equipment by removal of the earth connection in the
mains plug, this can be a potential dangerous practice and in some instances prove fatal to both
the equipment and the user.
Footswitch socket
On the chorus models a stereo jack socket is provided for foot switching both the chorus and
reverb. A two way foot switch unit is available from TRACE ELLIOT for this purpose.
On the TA40R unit any single latching footswitch may be used with a mono jack plug for switching
the reverb.
Link/D.I socket
This jack socket may be used as a LINE OUT to other equipment or as a link to another unit for
further sound reinforcement. Used as a LINK to another unit all that is required is a single jack to
jack cable plugged from the LINK socket on the first amp to the LINK socket on the second.
Each MASTER LEVEL control will set the volume of its own amplifier and sound will come from
units regardless of which preamp is used.
This socket may also be used as a LINE IN if required.

INSTRUÇÕES DE SEGURANÇA
Aviso
Para protecção contÌnua contra o risco de fogo, substitua os fusíveis só com fusíveis do mesmo
tipo e taxação.
Para reduzir o risco de fogo ou de choque elèctrico, não exponha este equipamaento a chuva ou
humidade.
No caso de suspeita de mau funcionamento, consulte sempre um mecânico de serviço
devidamente qualificado.
Este aparelho deve ser ligado à terra. Os fios neste sector são coloridos em conformidade com
o seguinte código:-
Verde e Amarelo - Terra Azul - Neutro Castanho - Vivo
No caso das cores dos fios no cabo deste aparelho não corresponderem com as marcações em
cor que identificam os terminais na ficha proceda como se segue:-
O fio Verde e Amarelo deve ser ligado ao terminal na ficha marcado com a letra E ou pelo
simbolo à terra ou com a cor verde ou Verde e Amarela.
O fio Azul deve ser ligado ao terminal marcado com a letra N ou com a cor Preta.
O fio castanho deve ser ligado ao terminal marcado com a letra L ou com a cor Vermelha.
Se for usada uma ficha de 13 amp (BS1363) deve ser montado um fusível de 13 amp, se for
usada qualquer outro tipo de ficha tem de ser montado um fusível de 15 amp ou na ficha, ou no
adaptador ou no quadro de distribuição.
Aviso CEM
É inerente ao design de alto-falantes e ao design de reprodutores de guitarras que devem emitir
ou ser afectados por campos electromagnéticos. As coberturas dos alto-falantas Trace Elliot não
devem ser usadas a menos de 2 metros do equipamento que pode ser afectado pela interferíncia
electromagnética.
Igualmente, as guitarras equipadas com reprodutores electromagnéticos não devem ser usadas
a menos de 2 metros da fonte de emissões electromagnéticas tais como alto-falantes.
As emissões dos alto-falantes dependem da característica de frequíncia da unidade accionadora.
Os níveis foram medidos directamente de accionadores de 30 dBuV.
Estes níveis são reduzidos para um nível seguro a uma distância de 1,27m dos accionadores.
ISTRUZIONI PER LA SICUREZZA
Avvertenza
Per assicurarsi di essere sempre protetti contro il rischio di incendi, sostituire i fusibili soltanto
con altri dello stesso tipo e potenza.
Non esporre l'attrezzatura alla pioggia o umidità per ridurre il rischio di incendi o shock elettrici.
Se si sospetta una malfunzione, consultare sempre un tecnico esperto in questo settore.
L'attrezzatura deve essere messa a terra. I fili sono stati colorati secondo il codice seguente:
Giallo e verde - Terra Blu - Neutro Marrone - Sotto tensione
Dato che i colori dei fili nel cavo elettrico del prodotto possono non corrispondere ai segni
colorati che identificano i terminali della spina, procedere come segue:–
Il filo di color giallo e verde deve essere collegato al terminale nella spina marcata con la lettera E
o con il simbolo terra, oppure di colore verde o verde e giallo.
Il filo di colore blu deve essere collegato al terminale che mostra la lettera N oppure di color
nero.
Il filo di color marrone deve essere collegato al terminale che mostra la lettera L oppure di color
rosso.
Con una una spina di 13 amp (BS1363), si deve usare un fusibile di 13 amp. Con qualsiasi altro
tipo di spina inserire un fusibile di 15 amp nella spina, nell'adattatore o nel quadro di
distribuzione.
Avvertenza EMC (per la compatibilità elettromagnetica)
Nel design di altoparlanti o di fonorivelatori di una chitarra, è inerente il fatto che raccoglieranno
o saranno influenzati da campi elettromagnetici. Le custodie per altoparlanti Trace Elliott non
dovrebbero essere poste lontano meno di 2 metri dall'attrezzatura che potrebbe risentire
dell'interferenza elettromagnetica.
Allo stesso modo, non usare le chitarre con fonorivelatori elettromagnetici ad una lontananza
inferiore a 2 metri da qualsiasi sorgente di emissioni elettromagnetiche come altoparlanti.
Le emissioni da altoparlanti dipendono dalla caratteristica di frequenza dell'unità di comando.
I livelli sono stati misurati direttamente da unità di comando di 30 dBuV; il livello sicuro è ad una
distanza di 1,27 metri dalle unità.
SIKKERHEDSINSTRUKTIONER
Advarsel
For vedvarende beskyttelse imod risikoen for brand, må sikringerne kun udskiftes med sikringer
af samme type og størrelse.
For at reducere risikoen for brand og elektrisk chok må dette udstyr ikke udsættes for regn eller
fugt.
Hvis man har mistanke om, at der er en fejl i udstyret, skal man altid henvende sig til en
faguddannet servicetekniker.
Dette apparat skal have jordforbindelse. Lederne i el–ledningen er farvet efter følgende kode:
Grøn og gul - Jord Blå - Nulleder Brun - Spændingsførende
Fordi ledernes farver i dette apparats el–ledning evt. ikke svarer til de farvede afmærkninger, der
identificerer klemmerne i stikket, skal man gå frem på følgende måde:
Den leder, som er farvet grøn/gul, skal forbindes med klemmen i stikket, der er afmærket med
bogstavet E eller med jordsymbolet eller som er grøn eller grøn/gul.
Den blå ledning skal forbindes med den klemme, der er afmærket med bogstavet N eller som er
sort.
Den brune ledning skal forbindes med den klemme, der er afmærket med bogstavet L eller som
er rød.
Hvis der anvendes et 13A (BS1363) stik, skal der monteres en 13A sikring. Hvis der anvendes en
anden type stik, skal der sættes en 15A sikring i stikket eller snydeproppen eller på
strømfordelingstavlen.
EMC advarsel
Højttalere og guitar–pickups er konstrueret således, at de udsender eller påvirkes af
elektromagnetiske felter. Trace Elliot højttalerkabinetter må ikke placeres mindre end 2 meter fra
udstyr, der sandsynligvis vil blive påvirket af elektromagnetiske forstyrrelser.
Ligeledes bør guitarer, som er udstyret med elektromagnetiske pickups, ikke anvendes mindre
end 2 meter væk fra en kilde til elektromagnetiske emissioner som f.eks. højttalere.
Emissioner fra højttalere afhænger af drivaggregatets frekvens. Niveauer måles direkte fra
drivaggregater på 30 dBuV.
Disse niveauer reduceres til et sikkert niveau i en afstand af 1,27 m fra drivaggregaterne.
