sockets L and R to the pre-amplifier sockets with the same
designation (please refer to page 30)
Unbalanced

The
AMP 8
is equipped with two variants of input socket (Cinch, XLR
symmetrical 3-pin). When connecting equipment only one variant may
be selected at any one time. The input not used must be left vacant
SPEAKER
One pair of loudspeakers can be connected to the amplifier
(SPEAKER
   
R and SPEAKER
   
L ). The impedance of each
speaker must not be lower than 4
Ω
(DIN rating).
The output stages are designed to cope with a minimum load of 2
Ω
,
but continuous operation at very high volume produces high currents
in the power output stages which can lead to overheating. This in turn
trips the protective circuit which switches the amplifier off
automatically.
