Hughes & Kettner Montana Manual página 4

C O N G R AT U L ATIONS AND THANK YOU FOR
PURCHASING A HUGHES & KETTNER MONTA N A !
A team of guitarists and engineers developed the MONTANA acoustic
guitar amplifier with a single mission in mind - to provide acoustic guitarists
with not just an amp but a complete sound reinforcement system that will
give them an ideal level of support in a variety of applications.
Whatever your gig - "unplugged" concert recitals, playing in an Irish pub,
accompanying a chorus or larger ensemble - the MONTANA is in every
respect the right rig for these applications and many more.
Equipped with a 60-watt power amp and integral limiter, this amp offers
plenty of headroom and delivers a punch powerful enough to make your
music stand out and be heard in virtually every type of performance
scenario. Sporting a 3-band voicing section featuring parametric mids, the
MONTANA lets you fine-tune its tone to suit your taste and instrument. The
auxiliary microphone channel gives you the option of patching vocals
through the MONTANA without having to tote along an additional mini-PA.
Loaded with a custom-designed speaker combination - a 12" Eminence
that pumps out big bottom end and velvety mids and a tweeter that
delivers crystal-clear treble and shimmering overtones - the MONTANA does
a great job of covering the broad sound spectrum of voice and acoustic
guitar. The variable on-board spring reverb gives your guitar the spatial
depth it needs to sound its best. A serial insert lets you patch effects into
the guitar channel; you can also process the amp's master signal by
patching external effect devices into the parallel FX loop. Finally, the
balanced XLR output lets you connect your amp to any PA to get your
sound across to the audience no matter how large the venue.
The MONTANA raises the stakes in the acoustic guitar amp game. Light,
easy to transport, chock full of classy features, plenty of power and
excellent sound- Montana offers you a combination of features
unmatched by any amp of its class.
WE WISH YOU MUCH SUCCESS WITH, AND
ENJOYMENT OF, YOUR NEW MONTA N A .
THINGS TO DO BEFORE OPERATING THE AMP
• Check out the voltage rating displayed next to the amp's
AC socket and make sure it matches your local AC power
before you plug the MONTANA's power cord into an AC
outlet.
• Make sure plenty of air can circulate around the back of the
amp chassis. Heat can kill electronic components!
• Place the amp on a sturdy, secure base and avoid exposing
it to mechanical shocks and extreme temperatures that
could endanger the device or the safety of yourself or
others.
• The manufacturer is not liable for any damage to the amp
due to improper operation.
1.0 THE CHANNELS OF THE MONTANA
The MONTANA is equipped with one instrument channel and
one microphone channel. The instrument channel features two
inputs with different input sensitivity for acoustic guitars with
and without preamplifiers.
The 3-band voicing section and the serial effects insert
influences the instrument channel only. The integrated reverb
affects both channels, although the microphone channel is
automatically assigned less reverb. The parallel effects loop
influences both channels by an equal measure.
