FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION
1. POWER switch: Obediently turns the SSA 6 on and off every time you poke it with your finger (or other suitable object).
All six Channels have delayed turn-on/instant turn-off relays to eliminate any switching transients.
2. THERMAL overload indicator: This red LED lights up if the SSA 6 becomes too hot, indicating that power has been
removed from all six Channels. Be sure to check the fan filter and actual speaker impedances if this lights up.
3. POWER indicator: This magnificent blue LED lights whenever the SSA 6 POWER switch is turned on.
4. READY indicators: Each of these green LEDs light whenever the mute relay is passing the signal through to the speaker.
Normal operation is the on status.
5. LOAD LIMIT indicators: Each of these red LEDs lights whenever a Channel leaves the Safe Operating Area (SOA). This
means the amplifier turned down the Input level quickly and automatically, avoiding over-dissipation. Input signals 30 dB
over a safe limit will cause the READY indicator and mute relay to turn off until the amplifier has been turned off and the
problem corrected. Normal operation is the off status.
6. PEAK LIMIT indicators: These red LEDs light whenever a Channel’s Output cannot follow its Input. The amplifier has
turned down the Input level quickly and automatically, avoiding audible distortion. Normal operation is the off status.
7. Channel LEVEL controls: Each of these rotary controls determines the Input sensitivity of each respective Amplifier
Channel. At its full clockwise position, an Input signal of 0 dBu (.775 vrms) drives the Amplifier to full power. As the
controls are rotated counterclockwise, more Input signal level will be needed to achieve full power.
