Switch & Gain Settings: 

13) The switches and gain settings are hidden behind a watertight seal 

accessible by removing the 2 screws.  Be sure to replace the cover when 
finished with adjustments. 

14) The INPUT LEVEL switch selects the input sensitivity of the amplifier. If 

you are connecting to a LINE level source (typically any RCA type 
connection) then the switch should be in the LINE (out) position.  When 
connecting to loudspeaker outputs or headphone or high level sources 
then set the switch to the SPEAKER (in) position. 

15) The POLARITY switch allows the user to optimize bass performance due 

to interaction with other loudspeakers producing bass in the system.  
Play some music with strong bass content and listen with the switch 
alternately in the NORMAL and REVERSE position until it can be 
determined which setting results in more pleasing bass response.  If in 
doubt, or if any interaction with other speakers is unlikely, then leave the 
switch in the NORMAL position. 

16) The GAIN control adjusts the overall level of the amplifier.  The level 

should be set to achieve a balance with other loudspeakers in the 
system. Play familiar music and adjust until the Bass level is to your 
liking.
