THANK YOU!

Thank you for choosing Orange. You are now a member of

the ‘Legendary British Guitar Amplifier’ owners club!

Since 1968 when the company was founded, Orange has

been a pioneering force in the guitar amplification industry.

Today, with a team of the world’s finest amplifier engineers,

Orange continues to push back the boundaries of

conventional tube amplifier design.

Our commitment to craftsmanship and quality control has

allowed our amplifiers to stand the test of time, giving their

owners as much pleasure now, as the day they were bought.

To maintain this level of excellence, each Orange amplifier is put through many rigorous test

procedures before leaving the factory.

The warmth, tonal quality and rich harmonics generated by a valve amplifier cannot be reproduced

by ‘artificial’ means. Many guitarists have reached the same conclusion: neither the transistor nor

microchip is a suitable alternative to valve technology.

This booklet contains valuable technical and safety information Please take the time to read this

manual as the information may enhance the sound and performance of your amplifier. We are

confident that you will be delighted with your new purchase and that it will provide you with many

years of enjoyment.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is

intended to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated ‘dangerous

voltage’ within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude

to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. Terminals labelled as

“Speaker Outputs” must be connected to a speaker cabinet of the

designated load rating using an un-shielded two conductor cable for speaker use at all times

during operation

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle and "WARNING" are

intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating

instructions. Failure to heed the instructions will result in severe injury or

death.

• Keep these instructions.

• Heed all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Do not use this apparatus near liquid.

• Clean only with dry cloth.

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

ENGLISH

AD200B MKIII

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus

(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has

two blades, one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third

grounding prong. The wide blade or the 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.

• Servicing: Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may

expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.

• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

• Damage Requiring Service: Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to

qualified service personnel under the following conditions: (a) When the power-supply cord or

plug is damaged; (b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product; (c) If the

product has been exposed to rain or water; (d) If the product does not operate normally by

following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the

operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will

often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal

operation; (e) if the product has been dropped or damaged in any way; (f) when the product

exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.

• Replacement Parts: When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has

used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the

original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

ENGLISH

The voltage selector switch and mains fuse are factory set for the

region in which your amplifier is intended to be sold. Do not

tamper with this switch without express permission from

Orange Music Electronic Company Ltd.

Connect the supplied mains cord to the AC Mains Input on the amplifier to your

AC mains wall outlet. This Class I electrical equipment must be earthed. The

correct mains fuse value for your region are displayed on the unit, close to

the AC Mains Input. Replace only with the same type and value. If the mains

fuse repeatedly blows, contact your Orange dealer.

EMI

To reduce the possibility of outside electrical interference during performance, operate your

amplifier and instrument away from appliances/equipment that generate high levels of

electronic/electromagnetic noise. This may include, but is not limited to: fluorescent lighting,

refrigerators, motors, mobile phones, radios, computers etc.

POWERING UP

When powering up a valve amplifier, it must be switched to standby for at least four minutes before

being switched to play. This gives the valves time to warm up and will prolong their life.

Good quality standard instruments (shielded) and speaker (non-shielded) cables are essential to a

prolonged and enjoyable relationship with your amp. We recommend that you do not use cables

with sprung or locking jacks as this can cause untimely wear on input and speaker jacks.

Always ensure that a speaker cabinet or combination of speaker cabinets of the correct impedance

is connected to your amplifier before powering up, appropriate combinations are as follows:

4 AND 8 Ohm AMPLIFIERS

1 x 8 cabinet connected to the 8 Ohm output

1 x 4 Ohm cabinet connected to one of the 4 Ohm outputs

2 x 8 Ohm cabinets each connected to one of the 4 Ohm outputs

NAME

DESCRIPTION

Slave Output socket

The slave output socket is a line level output signal from the output

stage of the amplifier. The correct speaker load needs to be also

connected when using the slave output.

Speaker Outputs

Connect the amplifier to a speaker cabinet of the correct impedance.

See ‘Powering up’.

Output valve Failure

Fuses (F500MA)

If an output valve shorts, it will blow its corresponding output valve

failure fuse. This will remove a pair of output valves from the circuit,

resulting in half of the output power being produced by the amplifier.

Looking at the back of the amplifier, the output valves 1 to 4 run from

left to right. If the 1 + 3 fault light comes on, the defective output valve

will be either number 1 or 3. If the 2 + 4 fault light comes on, the

defective output valve will be either number 2 or 4.

HT Fuses

The high tension fuse protects transformers and other circuitry from

blowing in the event of an output valve shorting. Please refer to the

Technical Specification section for fuse ratings.

Mains Socket and Fuse

Holder

This is where your mains lead plugs in. Also the mains fuse is located

here. Please refer to the Technical Specification section for fuse

ratings.

Mains Voltage Switch

Switches amp between 220V and 240V or 100V and 120V. This should

be set to the mains electricity voltage used in the country where the

amplifier is to be operated.
