AMP SERIES CONSTANT VOLTAGE INSTALLATION AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIERS  INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL

REAR PANEL

1

  Mains Input Connector

Your amplifier is fitted with a standard IEC 60320-C14 socket for mains 
connection. Use the mains cable supplied to power up the unit. 

 

NOTE:

 Your unit must always be earthed!

2

  Signal Input 

A balanced male 3-pin (3.81mm) Phoenix type connector is provided  
on each input: 

Pin 1 = Hot (non-inverting or in phase)

Pin 2 = Cold (inverting or reverse phase)

Pin 3 = Signal Ground

3    

  Level Control 

A potentiometer to provide attenuation to the signal input.

4

  

  

 VCA Control

Connect an Australian Monitor RC1 remote panel or any 500kΩ potentiometer 
between the + and – terminals of the VCA input for external level control.

5

  

  

 Speaker Outputs

The output for each channel can be 100V Line, 70V Line or 4 Ohm low 
impedance. Only one output type should be used per channel.
