SPEAKER OUTPUTS – 

Factor Electronics V series amplifiers provide 4 

speaker level outputs for the V-430 and V-460 and one speaker level 

output for the V-4120 and V-4240. Do not use more than one output 
at a time. This could overload the amplifier.  

Remove the terminal block connector and select from the 
following chart.

70V  

  - Connect to 70V transformer coupled loudspeakers.

100V

  - Connect to 100V transformer coupled loudspeakers.

RECOMMENED SPEAKER WIRE 

Always use good quality stranded copper wire.

CAUTION: 

Keep the speaker output guard on at all times. This will 

help prevent shock and fire hazards. Ensure the power cord is not 

connected to the AC outlet when making connections.   

POWER CORD - 

Connect the AC power cord to 110V AC outlets only. 

Do not connect the power cord until all audio connections are made. 

Serious damage may result if the amplifier is connected to line 
voltages other than 110V AC. 

FUSE - TYPE T6, 3al/250V - 

Always use the correct fuse for 

replacement. Failure to use the correct fuse or shorting the fuse could 
result in fire and serious damage and void your warranty

300Hz HPF- 

The 300 Hz High Pass Filter has no effect on the output signal in the UP

/ OFF position. When this switch is engaged in the DOWN / On position the 
speaker output frequencies below 300 Hz will will rolled off at 12 dB per octave.
Use this switch when horn speakers are connected to the amplifier speaker outputs
to remove unwanted bass frequencies that could damage the horn speakers.
In normal operation keep the 300 Hz HPF in the UP / OFF position.
