Front panel description

3.5 mm Jack input:

A 3.5 mm jack connection is located on the left side of the front panel. This easy accessible 
input is an unbalanced stereo line input whereto any portable audio device (such as laptop, 
smartphone or tablet) with 3.5 mm jack audio output can be connected. It is combined with 
the line input on the rear amplifier side (connected by RCA connectors), meaning the rear 
side input is disabled when the front 3.5 mm jack is connected. 

Input mixing controls:

Using the input mixing controls, the level for each individual input (Line in or Mic in) can be 
adjusted.

Output master control:

The output section contains a master volume control, two band tone control and indicator 
LED’s. The master volume control allows regulation of the overall output level, while two-band 
tone control allows bass / treble adjustment within a range of ± 12 dB and the indicator LED’s 
indicate the overall output level and status of the amplifier (Signal / -20 dB / Clip / Protect). 

Power switch:

Allows to power the system ON and OFF. The blue indicator LED illuminates when switched on.

Compact half 19” rackspace enclosure:

The amplifiers are housed in a compact half 19” rackspace enclosure which can be used for 
desktop installation or mounted in an equipment rack using (optionally available) mounting  
adapters. The half 19” rackspace enclosure allows single installation in a 10.5” equipment 
rack, or side-by-side (two devices) in a 19” equipment rack.
