IMPORTANT NOTES
In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 2
and 3, please read and observe the following:
Power Supply
Placement
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment
containing large power transformers) may induce hum.
To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this
unit; or move it farther away from the source of inter-
ference.
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is
being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by
an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine,
microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a
motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical
appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit
to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not
practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a
power supply noise filter between this unit and the
electrical outlet.
• This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such
receivers.
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications
devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of
this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initi-
ating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience
such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices
so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch
them off.
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the
power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions
and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
• Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the
POWER switch is switched off, this does not mean that the
unit has been completely disconnected from the source of
power. If you need to turn off the power completely, first
turn off the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord
from the power outlet. For this reason, the outlet into
which you choose to connect the power cord’s plug
should be one that is within easy reach and readily acces-
sible.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes.
Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are used
while their light source is very close to the unit (such as a
piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the
same area of the unit for extended periods of time.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
• When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very different, water
droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage
or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in
this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must
allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation
has completely evaporated.
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain
on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can
discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument.
Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the
exterior finish.
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface
on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor
or mar the surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet
to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make
sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.
• During operation, this device must be placed at a distance
of no less than 20 cm from any walls.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Maintenance
• To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is
slightly dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface using an
equal amount of strength, moving the cloth along with the
grain of the wood. Rubbing too hard in the same area can
damage the finish.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or
deformation.
Additional Precautions
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you
will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s
internal elements.
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during
normal operation.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about
those around you (especially when it is late at night).
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,
you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use
cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit.
The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be
extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on
cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.
• Wrap the power cord around the cord hook when trans-
porting or storing the unit.

Main Features
The SA-1000 is a combo amp that also functions as a 2.1-channel full stereo, lightweight, high-power stage amp.
Easy setup
Mixer, amp, and speakers are integrated in one unit, eliminating any need for complicated wiring. You can also connect a
subwoofer unit with a single cable.
Fully reproduces the powerful, low-frequency sounds of an organ
Designed for high power, the SA-1000 outputs 350 watts (stereo: 75 W + 75 W, subwoofer: 200 W). This amp faithfully
reproduces piano, organ, and other keyboard sounds. The SA-1000 also comes equipped with an "Organ Enhance" function.
Convert to a simple PA system with the Stereo Link function
The unit features a Stereo Link function, which allows you to connect two SA-1000s and use each as an independent left or
right stereo speaker. You can also use the SA-1000 as a PA system for small-scale concerts.
A full complement of input connections
In addition to two keyboard input systems, the unit also includes mic and line level device input connectors. For an artist
who talks or sings during their piano or organ performance, an SA-1000 is all they need.

resulting sound as you adjust the amount of reverb applied.
AUTO Button
When the ON/OFF button is set to ON, holding down
this button for one second or longer generates a
calibration signal from the speakers. The microphone
picks up the sound and the SA-1000 analyzes the
characteristics of the microphone and the surroundings.
Based on the results of this analysis, the microphone and
environmental characteristics are compensated for
automatically, making it difficult for feedback to crop
up.
3. VOLUME Knobs
This adjusts the volume levels of the MIC input.
*
To minimize noise as much as possible, we recommend
turning the VOLUME knob for any channel not being used to
0 and setting MIC button to OFF.

About the Anti-Feedback Function
Features of SA-1000 ANTI-FEEDBACK
Many previous anti-feedback systems use methods of determining feedback that actually generate feedback in order to detect the
feedback point, resulting in a system that is extremely unpleasant to use.
On the other hand, the SA-1000 employs a newly developed method that does not require generation of feedback, but instead
uses a microphone to capture a calibration signal output from the SA-1000’s own speakers, then performs a feedback analysis to
estimate the feedback point.
2
Prevents sudden feedback that occurs when the
microphone is in use.
■ What is Acoustic Feedback
When sounds output by speakers reenter a microphone, they
end up being output from the speakers at even greater
volume, and as this cycle is repeated, an unpleasant and
uncomfortable oscillating sound is created.
This system automatically cuts out feedback that crops
up suddenly due to changes in the surroundings or
movement of the microphone, using an extremely
narrow filter to minimize alterations in the sound
quality.
Pointing microphones towards speakers or placing them
near the speakers allows the amplified sounds from the
speakers to enter the microphones again, thus making it even
easier for feedback to arise.
Safety Margin Function
3
Conditions are calibrated automatically to help prevent
feedback.
■ To Avoid Feedback
In general, avoiding feedback requires the following
measures:
Frequencies prone to feedback will change depending on
the microphones used, the placement of the SA-1000
(speakers), and the SA-1000’s output level settings.
• Setting output levels so they’re appropriate for the
particular site or room
The SA-1000 measures conditions first to detect these
frequencies and secure a sufficient safety margin (i.e., an
ample margin of gain before feedback starts to occur).
The entire process, from measurement to securing of the
safety margin, takes only a few seconds.
• Setting connected devices to suitable levels
• Keeping microphones and speakers as distant from each
other as possible, and avoiding placing microphones
such that they are pointed directly at the speakers.
The dedicated filter is optimally processed for each
feedback point, resulting in an acoustically stable system
that minimizes tonal changes.
These methods will allow you to suppress the most serious
types of feedback.
In actuality, however, feedback can still occur as you attempt
to achieve necessary output levels, while on the other hand,
moving speakers away to avoid causing feedback can end up
making the sound difficult to hear.

■ Reducing Acoustic Feedback with
the SA-1000 (Anti-Feedback)
■ About Speaker and Mic Placement
Conventional PA systems generally require performers using
mics to stand behind speakers to avoid feedback. This makes
it difficult to hear the sound from the speakers, making
comfortable monitoring impossible.
The SA-1000 includes the following three built-in functions,
which allow you to achieve an acoustically stable system that
automatically controls the occurrence of feedback and makes
it more difficult for feedback to arise.
The SA-1000’s internal anti-feedback system suppresses
feedback, allowing performers to monitor the sound in
comfort, even when standing in front of the speakers.
Dynamic Function
1
Suppresses feedback that occurs at times when there is
no sound from the microphone.
• Howling could be produced depending on the location of
microphones relative to speakers. This can be remedied
by:
For feedback generated when no audio is being input via
the microphone (for example, at times when the
performer is not at the microphone), the feedback point
is automatically detected and the feedback is cut with a
dedicated filter.
1. Changing the orientation of the microphone(s).
2. Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance from
speakers.
3. Lowering volume levels.

About the Anti-Feedback Function
When automatic measurement is
not completed
• If you press the AUTO button to start the calibration
without a microphone connected or with the volume
level turned down too low, SA-1000 outputs an error
sound from the speaker and stops analysis. If this occurs,
check your connections and settings.
• If the surrounding noise level is too loud or the
microphone position is too far, SA-1000 outputs an error
sound from the speaker and stops analysis. If this occurs,
the ANALYSIS indicator light goes off.
• If you press the ON/OFF button while the ANALYSIS
indicator is lit, the indicator light goes off, and the anti-
feedback function is switched off. The results of the
correction process are stored in memory, though, so
turning the function on again returns the function to its
previous status. However, turning off the power clears
the results of the correction.
• SA-1000 does not respond to panel operations while in
ANALYSIS calibration. It responds after the calibration
is completed.
•
Anti-feedback does not work for AUDIO and
KEYBOARD input.
• The sound quality is altered somewhat while the anti-
feedback is operational.
• With some settings, feedback may not be suppressed,
even after you have run the anti-feedback process with
the AUTO button.

About the Use of Stacks
When stacking, be sure to follow the instructions below.
• Be sure to set up and use these units in stable, level locations.
• Be careful not to get your fingers pinched.
●
Stack so that the speaker side of both the top cabinet
and the bottom cabinet face the same direction.
●
Adjust the horizontal position of the top cabinet so that
the corner protectors are properly engaged and locked
at all four corners between the top and bottom
cabinets.
fig.03-01
Do not use the amplifiers without proper corner
protector engagement. Otherwise, you risk having the
top cabinet tumble down.
Always make sure that the corners are properly engaged
before you use the amplifiers.

About the Protection Circuit
This unit is equipped with a protection circuit.
The protection circuit helps ensure safety by activating when excessive input continues for a long time while the device is at a
location with a high ambient temperature.
When the protection circuit is active, the MIC ON and the MIC OFF indicators flashes, and the sound output drops in volume or
ceases altogether.
Position this device away from walls or other objects so that the vents remain unobstructed, thus preventing the activation of the
protection circuit.
