Connect the AC line cord in to the mains inlet
and plug the AC cord plug into a nearby wall
outlet that provides the correct AC power line
voltage.
Each channel of the 2N100MKII has its own,
independent level control. Before turning on
the 2N100MKII for the first time, make sure
that all level controls are set to their fully
clockwise position. These controls can be
used for various functions. For example, they
can
be
used
to
match
the
levels
of
loudspeakers in a multi-room installation, or
to lower the sensitivity of the power amplifier,
so that the volume control on pre-amplifier is
at a more convenient and usable position.
They can also be used to optimise the
balance in a stereo system.
Each input has an accompanying line output
which will pass the signal onto another
amplifier input or other line-level device.
There
are
two
(or
three)
RCA phono
connectors on the back panel that connect to
the inputs of each of the power amplifiers.
The 2N100MKII is equipped with binding
post
type
speaker
terminals
that
are
designed to handle the extremely high peak
currents that this amplifier is capable of
giving. Connections from these terminals to
the loudspeakers should be made with
heavy-duty wire. Standard wire of 16 gauge
or thicker is recommended especially if low
impedance loudspeakers are used.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD
THE OUTPUTS BE SHORTED TOGETHER.
There is one unswitched convenience AC
outlet on the back panel of the 2N100MKII.
The outlet can be used to provide AC power
for other audio or video components.
The press button switch marked power can
be used to switch the 2N100MKII on or off.
When the 2N100MKII is switched on, the
small indicator above the power switch will
glow green.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD
THE
CASE
OF
THE
AMPLIFIER
BE
OPENED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN A
QUALIFIED ENGINEER, AS DANGEROUS
VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT INSIDE. ANY
UNAUTHORIZED
REPAIR
MAY
INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY.
