USB Interface (only Gnome i and Gnome i Pro)
The Warwick Gnome i and Gnome i Pro ampliers feature an USB audio interface that can be used as universal connection device for PC, MAC or
compatible mobile devices without any specic drivers or software requirements. The interface uses high quality ADC/DAC converters to convert
your audio signal to be processed with the many applications available or for direct recording in your DAW. Gnome i and Gnome i Pro are
functioning as external soundcards for your mobile device or PC/Mac, converting your instrument‘s signal into a digital audio signal. The interface
section is compatible with any USB device that can manage digital audio signals, via a standard USB cable.

Protective Circuits
Your new Warwick Gnome amplier comes with multiple protective circuits to prevent malfunctions under unsuitable operating conditions.
Over-Current / Short-Circuit Protection
The amplier features an over-current / short-circuit protected output. A current drop occurs when the amplier exceeds the specied peak current
output. This goes along with the drop in the voltage of the amplier. If the current output of the amplier exceeds its specied peak current output
for a longer period of time e.g. in case of a short circuit of the output, the amplier will be disabled (muted) for 1000 ms and automatically restart.
DC Output Protection
A built-in DC protection circuit will attenuate any DC signals on the power amplier input, produced by a signal containing a DC signal. In case of
a permanent DC on the output of the amplier, the amplier will latch and power must be removed for the product to restart.
Excessive Temperature
This circuit protects the power stage from malfunction by switching the device o if the temperature-regulated fan cooling proves to be insucient
and temperature of the unit is too high.
