REAR PANEL 

(LEFT to RIGHT, top and bottom row)

GROUND

Banana Plug connection to CHASSIS Ground and/or CIRCUIT Ground is provided. Need for 
connection is unlikely, but can be useful in eliminating or finding source of hum, should hum 
exist.

POWER SUPPLY INLET

For connect to either of the REQUISITE OUTBOARD POWER SUPPLIES, models OPS-2 (Solid-
State Supply) or RTS-4 (All Tube Supply).  When not connected to a power supply, be sure to 
use the screw on cover.  The cover will protect the pins from accidental damage.  Also, avoid 
contact with the pins, as power supply caps can store voltage and possibly discharge when 
touched.

AUDIO OUTPUTS

Transformer balanced outputs. Channel-1 top, Channel-2 bottom. 
Pin-1 no connection, Pin 2 positive going phase, Pin-3 negative going phase.

LIMITER LINK

Top for Channel-1, Bottom for Channel-2. Both become linked to each other when PK REDUC-
TION mode switch is set to LINK.

TUBE CHANNEL

Protective housing for tubes and opto attenuator.  When installing your L2M, be sure sufficient 
air space is provided to prevent excessive heat build-up from the tubes.

TUBE PLACEMENT and FUNCTION (left to right)
