THROUGH

 

  line outputs for  Channel 2  & 1, respectively  (XLR male).

Are  used  to  deliver  input  signal  along  the  respective  channel  to  the  input  of  another
amplifier.
THROUGH  connectors  are  parallel  to  INPUT  connectors  of  respective  channels.

INPUT

 

 Channel 2 balanced input (XLR female).

Is  used  to  supply  input  signal  to  channel  2.

MODE

  switch.

 MONO 

 two channels drive two separate loads from a single input signal source;

 STEREO 

 two  channels drive two separate loads from  two separate input signal

sources;

 BRIDGE 

 two channels drive a common load from a single input signal source.

INPUT

 

 

balanced input (XLR female) for Channel 1 in STEREO; Channels1 and 2 in

MONO; BRIDGE mode.

MAINS IN

OUTPUT

 

 Channel 1 output.

Is used to connect a load (speaker system) to Channel 1 with a SPEAKON

®

 connector,

as  well  as  to  connect  a  load  (speaker  system)  to  the  amplifier  in  BRIDGE  Mode.  In
addition, Channel 2 output is linked to Channel 1 output socket thus making it possible
to  connect  the  speaker  systems  of  both  channels  to  this  output  socket  with  a  single
NL4FC  connector  (wired  accordingly).
