Tube Bias Adjustment
1. Adjust the amplifiers bias when in the 50W mode (YCS50/H) or
90W mode (YCS90). A speaker/load should be connected at all
times when amplifier is powered.
2. Turn the amplifier on; allow it to warm up for 2-3 minutes.
3. Once the amplifier is warmed up, make sure the amplifier is out
of Standby mode. Do not apply any input stimulus (signals etc.).
4. Using a meter set to measure mV DC, attach the negative
(black) probe to the GND. Place the positive (red) probe on TP1
5. Adjust the Bias Trim Pot until you measure 75mv DC between
GND and TP1.
Measure the bias between GND and TP2. It should also mea-
sure as 75mv DC. (For the YCS90 the measurements should
read 75mV on Tp1, Tp2, TP3 and TP4 which signifies that all
tubes are matched).
