3.1 Connecting the Load
3.1.1
Preparation and Cautions
Before connecting the amplifier, make sure the
AC power is disconnected.
Always use the appropriate wire size and insula
-
tion for the maximum current and voltage expected
at the output. Never connect the output of the
amplifier to any other model amplifier, power sup
-
ply, signal source, or other inappropriate load; fire
can result.
Be sure to install the output safety cover after wir
-
ing the output connections. See
Figure 3.3.

3.1.2 Output Connections
Connection to the output of the amplifier is to a
pair of high-current output terminals. Wires ter
-
minated with 3/8-inch ring terminals are recom
-
mended when connecting to the output terminals.
Connect the load across the terminals marked
“OUTPUT” (positive) and “GND” (ground). The
GND terminal also can be connected to an ex
-
ternal ground point such as the rack chassis, if
desired. See
Figure 3.2.
3.2 Connecting the Input Signal
Both an unbalanced Input BNC jack and a bal
-
anced Input “WECO” terminal block connector are
provided on the amplifier back panel for signal
input. Connect your input signal source to the
unbalanced or balanced input connector as shown
in
Figure 3.4.
Use cables that are high quality and
shielded to minimize noise and to guard against
possible feedback.
