Power Amplifier Input: This input provides a direct input to the power amplifier with an input sensitivity of 1V. Using the Preamplifier Output and the Loop Switch‚ a signal processor can be inserted between the mixer and the power amplifier.
13.
Loop Switch: In the Bypass (Out) mode‚ the Loop Switch internally connects the Preamplifier Output to the Power Amplifier Input‚ bypassing any external processing loop. In the Enable (In) mode‚ the Loop Switch enables any external processing loop by internally disconnecting the Preamplifier Output from the Power Amplifier Input. The line level Preamplifier Output can be used regardless of this switch setting.
14.
Outputs: A direct output and transformer-balanced outputs are provided to allow proper interface between the amplifier and loudspeaker system. The direct output allows connection to a 4 Ohm speaker system. To use this output‚ disconnect the jumper between the 4 Ohm terminal and the XFMR LINK (transformer) terminal. Connect the loudspeaker system to the 4 Ohm and GND terminals. For transformer-balanced outputs‚ ensure the jumper is installed and connect load between the desired output and COM.
15.
Power Switch: This rocker switch applies mains power to the unit.
16.
Fuse: The fuse is located within the cap of the fuse holder. If the fuse fails‚ it must be replaced with the same type and value in order to avoid damage to the equipment and to prevent voiding the warranty. If the amplifier repeatedly blows the fuse‚ it should be taken to a qualified service center for repair. Warning: The fuse should only be replaced when the power cord has been disconnected from the power source.
17.
IEC Connector: This receptacle is for the IEC line cord (included) that provides AC power to the unit. Warning: Never break off the ground pin on any equipment. It is provided for your safety and the safety of your equipment. If the outlet does not have a ground pin‚ a suitable grounding adapter should be used and the third wire should be properly grounded. To prevent risk of shock or fire hazard always be sure that all equipment is properly grounded.
Note for UK only: If the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this unit do not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug‚ proceed as follows: (1)
Connect the green and yellow wire to the terminal that is marked by the letter E‚ the earth symbol‚ colored green or colored green and yellow.
(2)
Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked with the letter N or the color black.
(3)
Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked with the letter L or the color red.
