Main AC Inlet (IEC standard)
This inlet fits a standard computer office machine AC cable interconnect. The Fuse
is located just above the plug receptacle. The correct voltage is displayed in the
upper left corner of the holder and should read correctly with the rest of the
printing on the amplifier. If a fuse blows replace it ONLY WITH THE SAME
TYPE AND SIZE. The voltage of operation will be marked on the back of the unit.
Speaker Outputs
There are (3) speaker outputs provided (3) ¼” jacks. For 4 and 2 Ohm operation
we recommend using 14 Gauge or lower wire as they are much more robust than
lighter types and will deliver more power to the speakers. The DC-500 power
amplifier @ full limit puts out: @ 8 Ohms 200 Watts RMS, @ 4 Ohms 400 Watts
RMS, and @ 2 Ohms 600 Watts RMS.
Recording Output and Ground Lift
The 3 pin XLR jack provides the direct connection for a recording or live P.A.
console. It is fully balanced and is controlled by the D.I. level control on the Back
panel. The ground lift effects only pin (1) of the XLR and breaks the ground path
from that pin to the chassis to reduce ground loop induced hum and noise. Pin 2 is
hot.
Pre Tone Effects Loop
This loop is before the tone controls. The send can be used as an extra signal
output without breaking the loop. This loop is a good choice for outboard
compressors and limiters.
Tuner Output
This gives you a place to connect your tuner out of the direct signal path of the
Bass. It is always on. Even when the mute is engaged the output stays connected.
For Your Safety
Always use a correctly grounded outlet for your amplifier. Replace your fuse with
only the same size and type of fuse. Your unit has a two year warranty described in
the warranty section of your manual.
