The unit is AC power line circuit breaker protected from
overloads and fault conditions with a resettable 8 Amp breaker.
If this unit trips the breaker, turn the power switch to the OFF
position, reset the breaker by pushing the center lever in all the
way and then reactivate the power switch. If the breaker lever
does not stay in, it may need to cool first.

If the unit continually trips the breaker, DO NOT continue
resetting the breaker. Instead, have the unit checked by a
qualified service technician.

The input and output jacks are in parallel so the audio input
signal can be daisy-chained to other devices. The “output”
level is the same as the “input” level, and there is no isolation
between the various jacks. The input is medium impedance
balanced. Jack (5a) is a combo female XLR and 1/4" TRS
connector, and jack (5b) is a male XLR.

Controls the gain (level) of the Quadra

® 

15P system. When used

with the Primary Input/Output jacks (5), it directly sets the
system output level. If the microphone input is being utilized in
conjunction with the Primary In/Out jacks, then the mic level is
set using this knob, and the ancillary signal (music into the
In/Out jacks) level is then set using the source or feed (mixer).

When this switch is in the ON position, it connects the mic
input jack (8) to the preamp circuitry. To minimize noise or hum
pickup from the mic input, switch this to the OFF position when
not using a microphone.
