(7) Input Signal Sockets
.
These are combined female XLR and 1/4" jack sockets.
They provide a number of connection possibilities, including the industry standard Balanced
XLR system, which helps ensure interference and noise free connections between equipment.
Ready-made, sensibly priced, quality interconnection leads suitable for use with the amplifier
should be easy to source. However, with sufficient skill, it is possible to make/modify leads for
the task. Proceed to Chapter 5. - “Cables, Making your own”.
.
(8) Output Mode Selector
.
STEREO, MONO or BRIDGED (mono) Output can be selected using this switch.
Take care to ensure the correct mode for your application is selected.
.
l
In
Stereo
mode, channels A and B can be operated independently, when
fed with separate input signals.
.
l
In
(parallel) Mono
mode, Input A is connected to both amplifier channel A
and B. Input B is not used. Full independent level control over each amplifier
output channel remains possible.
.
l
In
Bridged
(mono)
modes, the input from channel A is fed out of phase to
channel B.
Note:
For this mode operation to work as intended, custom wiring must be
used - See Chapter 5.

Power Connection
.
Mains power is supplied to the amplifier by a standard 10 Amp IEC mains socket.
An appropriate mains lead is supplied with the amplifier.
Note:
The amplifier requires a stable power supply to function as intended. Ensure
that the power source (mains power supply, generator, etc.) is suitable for this
application and adequate power is available. Poorly selected power sources result
in sub-optimal performance, increased likelihood of tripping breakers, blowing
fuses and in extreme situations damage to equipment may occur.
Should the fuse in the mains lead blow for any reason, it must be replaced
with a fuse of the correct rating. This should be 13 amps for the models listed in
this manual. However, if there is any reason to believe that a malfunction caused the fuse to
blow, stop using the equipment immediately and take the amplifier to an authorised service
engineer for servicing.
