Power Switch:

Turns the amplifier on/off. This

switch does not disconnect the main power feed
from the amplifier; this requires that the power cord
be unplugged from the outlet.

Low Cut (High Pass) Switch:

Enables/disables the

filter that reduces very low frequency energy and
protects autoformer-based volume control/speaker
selectors. When “on,” the filter is set to -3dB at 40
Hz. When off, the frequency response is flat from
20Hz to 20kHz.  

Gain Controls:

Left and Right gain controls inde-

pendently adjust the sound level for each channel.
When used in the bridged mode only the Left control
is used.

Loop Output: 

The loop output is a passive

passthrough of the line input. These jacks can be
used to daisy chain the input signal to another
amplifier in the system.

Speaker A/B Outputs:

The A and B speaker out-

puts are in parallel to the amplifier output. The mini-
mum load in stereo mode is 4 ohms. This can be
used to drive up to 2 pairs of 8-ohm speakers or 1
pair of 4-ohm speakers. The minimum load imped-
ance for bridged mode operation is 8 ohms,
Speaker B only.

Stereo/Bridge Mono Switch:

Sets the pair of

amplifier channels for stereo or bridge mono opera-
tion.    

Line Input:

The line audio input is a sensing input

that will activate the amplifier when an audio signal
from a source is present. When there is no audio
the zone will go into standby. The Left input is used
for bridged mono operation only.

AC Input:

The AC voltage input for the North

American model is 120VAC at 60Hz (for the
European model, 230VAC at 50Hz). This receptacle
accepts a 3-prong IEC 320 type connector. A
detachable 3-terminal power cord is included.
