    Rear Panel Controls and Features

7.  XLR OUTPUT JACK –

 This jack is used to send the incoming signal from either of the Inputs 

Jacks to another PSW 15P™ or speaker.

8.  VOLTAGE  SELECTOR  SWITCH  - 

Because  power  supplies  vary  from  location  to  location  a 

voltage selector switch has been incorporated in the unit's design. This switch can select a 
voltage input of 120v or 230v to accommodate the two major power source. Always be sure 
to disconnect the power plug before changing the voltage.

9. MAIN POWER SWITCH –

 This is the main power ON/OFF button. Before main power is applied, 

be sure you have made all connections to the subwoofer. Remember to avoid damaging pops 
to the subwoofers, the mixer is turned on first and turned off last.

10. FUSE HOLDER –

 This housing stores the 6 amp GMA protective fuse. Always replace with 

the  exact  same  type  fuse,  unless  otherwise  instructed,  by  an  authorized  American  Audio

®

 

service technician. Replacing with any other type of fuse than that of the recommended fuse 
will void your unit warranty.

11. MAIN POWER INLET –

 This connector is used to supply main power to the unit via the in-

cluded detachable power cord. The power connection uses an I.E.C. type connector, use only 
the supplied polarized AC power cord. Use only a power cord that matches this type of con-
nection. Be sure to only connect this unit to a power outlet that matches the printed power 
label on the unit. Never use a power when the ground prong has been removed or broken off. 
The ground prong is used to reduce the risk of electrical shock in case of an electrical short.  
This cord is designed to fit in one direction only. Do not attempt to force a cord if it does not 
fit, be sure the cord is being inserted properly.
