23 Line Out - 0 dB Poweramp Signal: 

This port taps the power amp's output to provide a line out   

     signal configured at a level of about 0 dB.

 

The frequency response is identical to that of the

     power amp output signal. In other words, its frequency response has not been compensated 
     or corrected.
     You can feed this signal to another linear power amp. Another option is to patch it through an 
     outboard filter to emulate a speaker, for example, a 4x12 cabinet simulation, and feed this 
     externally processed signal to a recording device or PA system.

24 Poweramp Output 8 Ohms, internal speaker:

 This 8-ohm speaker out is wired in parallel with 

     port 25. Connect an 8-ohm cabinet or, in the case of the E300 Combo, its internal speaker to it.

25 Poweramp Output 8 Ohms parallel:

 This 8-ohm speaker out is wired in parallel with port 24. 

     Use it in combination with port 24 to connect two 16-ohm cabinets.

26 Poweramp Output A -16 Ohms serial:

 16-ohm speaker out, connected internally in series with 

     Output B (jack 27). Connect a 16-ohm cabinet here (Output A). Two 8-ohm speakers are connected 
     to Output A (jack 26) and Output B (jack 27), for example a combination of the internal 8-ohm 
     speaker of the Combo E300 and an external 8-ohm cabinet, e.g. the ENGL models E112 or E412.
     

CAUTION: 

If you intend to use a 16-ohm cabinet only, make absolutely certain you connect it to 

     Output A (jack 26).  
     Output B (jack 27) is only enabled when a speaker is connected to Output A (jack 20).

27 Poweramp Output B - 16 Ohms serial:

 This is an auxiliary output connected in series with Output A

     (jack 26). This output is designed for one application for only—when you are driving a combination  
     of two 8-ohm cabinets/speakers. This output may only be used when an 8-ohm speaker is 
     connected to Output A (jack 26).
     

NOTE:

 Never operate the amplifier without a sufficient load, otherwise you may damage or 

     destroy the power amp!

Speaker/ cabinet options:  
     

You can connect one 8-ohm cabinet (or the Combo's internal speaker) to the 8-Ohm Output (24);

     or two 16-ohm cabs to the two 8-Ohm Outputs (ports 24 and 25);
     or one 16-ohm cab to Output A (port 26);     
     or two 8-ohm cabs to Output A and B (ports 26 and 27).
