to all the musical information being produced by the
Amplifier. They indicate to an accuracy of at least
95% of the power output with only a single cycle of a
2,000Hz tone burst. Read the Upper Meter Scale if the
Loudspeakers connected to the MA6300 are of 8 Ohm
Impedance and the Lower Meter Scale if they are 4
Ohms.
Power Guard
During normal operation, the Front Panel Power
Guard Indicators will momentarily illuminate during
peaks in the audio signals. In the event the MA6300
overheats, due to improper ventilation and/or high am-

activate. The Front Panel Power Guard Indicators will
continuously illuminate and the audio will be muted.
