Slave Input Connection
This input jack allows you to connect your
unit’s amplifier as a powered slave to another preamplifier.
This connection bypasses the main input jack, preamp and all controls on your unit.
Effects Loop
The main effects are a standard serial effects loop. The return jack set breaks the signal chain and
results in 100% of the signal going through the effects loop before coming back to the rest of the
signal chain. The send can also be used as an extra signal output if the return jack is not used.
Tuner Output
This Jack provides a slightly amplified and buffered signal that can be connected to the tuner input of
your choice.
Rack Access Rear Input Jack
This Jack provides an alternative input access for plugging in things like wireless receivers or any
input that needs to be connected from inside the rack or to the back of the unit. When you operate the
rear panel input jack you cannot operate the front panel input jack.
Operations
Turning on your amplifier
Before turning on your amplifier please make sure you read the manual and understand it. Make the
connections your loudspeaker before powering on the amplifier. Switch on amplifier by pressing the
mains power switch. All the amplifier management lights on the front panel will come on momentarily.
Then the red and yellow lights will turn off leaving only the green light glowing steadily. This is the
normal condition and indicates your amplifier is in good condition and ready to operate.
Turning off the amplifier
Press the mains power switch to turn off the unit. It is located on the back panel. All the lights on the
amplifier management group will light up momentarily but after few seconds they will all go off.
What to expect if your amplifier goes into the protect mode
Your 800 amplifier has a very sophisticated monitoring system for the power supply and amplifier. If
the system detects a short circuit or a dangerous condition such as, over temperature, excessive
amounts of clipping, excessive current usage, or improper power configuration conditions the
amplifier may go into the protect mode for safety.
If the amplifier goes into the protection mode it will be necessary to shutdown and then restart the
amplifier to clear the safety function lockout and restore the unit to normal operating conditions.
A
damaged speaker cable, intermittent AC connections, excessively high temperatures and unusually
high current demands that exceed the systems normal parameters can potentially cause the system
to go into protect mode.
