DECWARE OWNERS MANUAL – MODEL SE84C+
It is also possible to get excellent results from some 16 ohm high efficiency drivers as
well. However, if you try this and find the amp to sound a bit weak or thin, we can
change the output transformers to what we call the “EX” transformers that will target the
amps power band towards a higher impedance adding power, weight and body to high
impedance speakers.
Just remember that in the stock configuration the amp will increase in power as the
speaker load drops. That means if you take a pair of 4 ohm speakers and 8 ohm
speakers of the same efficiency, the 4 ohm speakers are going to get louder on a Zen
amp than the 8 ohm speakers will.
Unlike a solid state amplifier, it is OK to short the speaker wires together accidentally or
on purpose.
BRIDGING THE AMP INTO MONO
The SE84C+ can be bridged mono without the typical smearing you get from bridging
most stereo tube amps. Using two of these amps, one per channel, will give you 6 watts
per channel instead of 2 watts. Getting back to speakers for a minute, the stereo amp
by itself will actually drive 2 ohm speakers and like it. In fact some manufactures have
made 2 ohm speakers just for this amp. If, however, you bridge the amps into mono it
is best to have speakers rated at 4 ohms or higher (all way up to 16 ohms is OK).
To bridge the amp into mono you simply series the output jacks. To do this, take a piece
of wire and connect the left positive speaker jack to the right negative speaker jack. The
two remaining jacks will be used to power the speaker.
Also, it is important to feed a signal into both the left and right input jacks
simultaneously. This can easily be done with a Y-Adapter cable with two male RCA jacks
on one end and a single female RCA jack on the other.
BREAK-IN
During the first few hours of days with your amplifier you will no doubt wonder about
break-in, if for no other reason than hearing about it constantly every time you read
about new amplifiers.
If you're new to tube gear the amp will sound so good right out of the box that you will
have a hard time worrying about break-in, so don't.
If you've been around the block a few times, the fastest way to break in the amp is 5
hours on with music and 5 hours off. Repeat this process 5 times. This process will
