PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION
The SSP-1 Control Preamplifier is a complete monaural design that consists of two separate units. The SSP-1
Control amplifier and the PSU-1 Power Supply Unit.
Budget a suitable space in which to place the SSP-1 Control Preamplifier and PSU-1 Power Supply Unit . Do not
place the Control Unit on top of the Power Supply Unit and vice versa.
This space should also be free of excessive heat or dust and large enough to permit easy flow of cool air to the top,
bottom and sides of each unit. Avoid locating both the
SSP-1 Control Preamplifier Unit and the Power Supply unit
where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, excessive humidity or moisture.
WARNING: To reduce risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose these appliances to rain or moisture.
Before Power-up
Connect the two provided power supply XLR 6 pins connectors (one for each channel) cables to the corresponded DC
inputs of the control amplifier unit.
Keep the power off until all other system connections are completed.
Check that the mains voltage printed on the back of the Power Supply unit corresponds to the line voltage of the
territory you intend to connect your
SSP-1 Control Preamplifier system .
This SSP-1 Control Preamplifier system has been shipped with the vacuum tubes installed by the manufacturer.
Delayed Turn On
Since the SSP-1 Control Preamplifier system is an all tube design and take time for the filaments of the rectifier
tubes EZ32 to warm up and supply high voltage, provides about 20 seconds delay before the Control Preamplifier is in
full operation.
The Front Panel of PSU-1 Power Supply Unit
The front panel of Power Supply Unit includes two power on-off switches. Be sure to press on the power switches
after you finish with all connections. When the left hand side power switch (left channel) is pressed on, the TLA logos
on both the Control Unit and the Power Supply Unit lights up, after that the right hand side power switch has to be
pressed on, to power up the right channel. When you intent to power off the
SSP-1 Control Preamplifier system,
press off the right hand side power switch and then the left hand side power switch.
The Rear Panel of PSU-1 Power Supply Unit
The rear panel of the PSU-1 Power Supply Unit has the two IEC Power Inlets in the center of the unit. The two XLR
6 pins DC OUT connectors are, one on the far right and one on the left side of the rear panel. Under to the IEC Inlets
is the fuse holder of the mains fuse size 5x20mm that is rated T315mA (Slow Blow) for 230V-240 VAC
or T500mA
(Slow Blow) for 110-120 VAC
In case of fuse burn please replace with same type and rating fuse.
The Front Panel of SSP-1 Control Preamplifier
The front panel of SSP-1 Control Preamplifier includes the Mute on-off switch that mutes the signal of the
output, the Volume attenuator for increasing or decreasing the output level, the Input selector switch for
selecting the desired input source, the Input selector indication on the left down corner of the unit that
indicates the selected input and finally the TLA logo. When the control preamplifier is powered on, the TLA
logo lights up.
The Rear Panel of SSP-1 Control Preamplifier
The rear panel of the
SSP-1 Control Preamplifier contains all input- and output connectors. The printed rear panel
clearly indicates the function of each pair of connectors that is selected by the Input selector switch on the front panel.
The input and output connectors have color identification for right (RED) and left (WHITE) channels.
