GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION  

 

Power

 is supplied to the amplifier through an IEC type detachable cord set with a mains connector, fuse 

holder and internationally rated 115/230 Volts - 50/60 Hz toroidal power transformer. For our interna-
tional touring players, an external mains line voltage switch is provided, with a fuse size chart printed on 
the rear of the unit denoting the power supply configuration and fuse size that the unit has been rated 
for. International IEC type cord-sets are available for a variety of international power supply sockets.  
The main’s fuse (and a spare) is located in a slide-out drawer in the bottom half of the IEC connector. 
 

Common sense

 (as well as the law) dictates that you do not operate the unit where it will be exposed to 

moisture or rain, excessive ambient heat (over 115 degrees F / 40 degrees C) or without a properly 
grounded A.C. power source. Never remove the ground pin from the A.C. power connector. 
 

Ventilation

 is required to keep this amplifier from overheating. Do not block air flow over heat-sinks at 

the rear of the unit.
