’94 TWIN AMP

THEORY OF OPERATION(CONT)

switch from +454Vdc to +230Vdc.  This voltage change only affects the four output tubes.  The high voltage supplies for the
preamp tubes are tapped off prior to the output switch (S9).  When switching the high voltages at the power tubes, the negative
Bias voltage must also be switched.  The Bias supply is derived through a voltage doubler from the Brown secondary of the
power transformer.  S9B determines the path of the Bias current.  The low power path is through R97 (100K), and the high power
path is through R98 (18K) and R97 (100K) in parallel.  R96 (82K) sets up the voltage divider that feeds the Bias and Balance
controls (-52Vdc High, -21 Vdc Low).

Note:  

It is recommended that the amplifier be in the Stand-by mode before switching the High/Low Output switch.

LOW POWER OPTION

The ’94 Twin Amp can be run with only two output tubes instead of four.  This is done by removing the inner two 5881/6l6wgc
tubes.  The Impedance Selector switch must be set to one-half the total speaker load.  The rule is ---half the tubes---half the
impedance.  Therefore when using the internal two speakers (16 

 load), the Impedance Selector switch must be set to 8 

.  This

will produce 60 watts RMS in the Output High setting, and 15 watts RMS in the Output Low setting.
