Caution: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 2. Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. ENGLISH kustom.com FRENCH kustom.com DEFENDER 5H Control Panel 1 32 1. Input Jack: This is a .-inch, 2-conductor input for plugging in your instrument. It is intended for guitar but will accept other instruments as well. 2. Volume: This control determines the overall volume level of the amplifier. Due to the simplicity of the Defender 5H’s all-tube circuitry, a wide range of tones can be obtained with the use of this control alone. For example, when set in its lower ranges, the sound is clean and snappy. As the Volume control is turned up, light overdrive is generated by the amp’s all-tube circuitry. This overdrive occurs naturally and is not created by any internal distortion circuit. As the Volume control is turned higher (clockwise), you’ll hear increased natural drive and compression that is great for crunchy rhythms and sustaining guitar solos. In essence, the Defender 5H generates classic overdriven tube amp tone but at lower, more manageable volume levels. (Although you may be surprised by the amount of volume that the Defender 5H can generate, so watch your ears!) 3. Power Switch: This dual-function component is both an ON/OFF power switch and a status indicator light. When illuminated, it shows that your amplifier is ready to be played. To turn your amplifier on, press switch upward. To turn amp off, press switch downward. Note: After the power switch is turned on, the tubes must warm up for approximately one minute before you will hear sound from your amplifier. kustom.com DEFENDER 5H Back Panel Speaker Output: These three .-inch jacks are for use with an external speaker cabinet. The Defender 5H may be used with one speaker cabinet rated at 4-, 8- or 16-ohms. Be sure to connect the speaker cabinet to the correct output jack with the matching impedance. A perfect match for the Defender 5H amp head is the Defender 1x12 speaker cabinet. Containing one 12-inch, 16-ohm speaker, the Defender 1x12 is dialed in to complement the tonality of the 5H. It is rated at 30 watts. Note: The Defender 5H is designed to accommodate ONE speaker cabinet when in use. Damage may occur if more than one cabinet is connected to the 5H. kustom.com DEFENDER 5H AC Mains 1. AC Power Cord Receptacle: AC power cord can be removed for easy storage and replacement if damaged. Insert the AC cord (provided) firmly into the AC receptacle. NOTE: Replace the AC power cord if protective jacket is damaged or ground pin is damaged or removed. 2. Fuse: The fuse is located in a fuse tray just below the receptacle. Replace only with the same type and size. For your convenience, a spare fuse is located inside the fuse tray toward the front. To replace fuse, remove AC power cord. Remove fuse tray by pulling the tab located above the fuse symbol away from the receptacle. kustom.com Kustom® DEFENDER 5H Specifications Output Power 5 Watts . inch jacks for 4 Ohm, 8 Ohm and 16 Ohm speakers Input Jack 1 . inch Volume Control 1 Gain 60 dB @ 1 kHz Preamp Tube 12AX7 Power Tube EL84 Power Requirements USA/Canada 120VAC/60Hz, 35W Europe 230VAC/50Hz, 35W UK 230VAC/50Hz, 35W Australia 240VAC/50Hz, 35W Japan 100VAC/50-60Hz, 35W Dimensions/Weight cm/Kilogram 12.75 (Height) X 31.5 (Width) X 18.28 (Depth), 3.2 Kilogram Inches/Pounds 5 (Height) X 12.4 (Width) X 7.2 (Depth), 7 Lbs kustom.com DEFENDER 5H Signal Flow Diagram 1/2 - 12AX7 Signal 1/2 - 12AX7 EL84 Conditioning SignalConditioning 16 OHMS INPUT OUTPUTTRANSFORMER 8 OHMS 4 OHMS VOLUME kustom.com kustom.com 12 February 2010 DEFENDER 5H Kustom Amplification, Inc. 3015 Kustom Drive Hebron, Kentucky USA 41048 888-4-KUSTOM (888-458-7866) All specifications are subject to change...
