[POWER] (power switch)

This switch turns the power for the built-in SRT POW-
ERED preamplifier on and off.

Power Switch and LINE OUT Jack Status Correspondence Table

• This product is designed so that the power can be turned 

on only when a plug (cable) is inserted into the LINE OUT 
jack. When a plug is not inserted into the LINE OUT jack, 
the power will remain off regardless of the position of the 
power switch.

• If the power switch is off while a plug (cable) is inserted 

into the LINE OUT jack, the Piezo Pickup signal will be 
directly output to the LINE OUT jack (passive output). 
Passive output is used in emergency situations when 
there are no batteries, or when using sound reproduction 
on an external device, such as a preamplifier.

• Since the power is turned off during passive output, the 

SRT POWERED preamplifier will not operate. Except for 
the power switch, the knobs on the control panel will all be 
disabled.
