FIVE CHANNEL POWER AMPLIFIER

2

Rear Panel Input / Output Connections

1. Input Select Switch.

Each 9BSST channel gives the user the option of switching between 

either balanced input or single ended input.

2. Balanced Input connector. ( Imp. 20k )

This input connector accepts standard ‘XLR’ or 1/4” TRS . 

Use quality, 100% shielded cables with 

gold plated

 connectors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

‘XLR’ type 

‘TRS’ type

‘RCA’ type   

3. Single Ended Input. ( Un-balanced input ) ( Imp. 50k )

This input connector 

accepts standard ‘RCA’ or ‘Phono’ connectors. 

Use quality, 100% shielded cables with 

gold plated

 connectors.

Balanced input  Vs Single ended input:

The balanced input requires a balanced pre-amp source. Balanced 

systems provide noise protection from external electrical interference, 

so cable length can be very long (50m or longer ). 

The single ended or unbalanced input is provided for pre-amps without balanced output. Single-ended cables should be 

kept to 20’ (7m) or less. In general never use longer cables than necessary, never coil excess cable length, and run sig-

nal wires away from  AC power or speaker cables.

4. Polarity Switch  ( 

0 or -180 degrees)

Each 9BSST channel gives the user the option of inverting the polarity of the input signal -180 degrees. 

Polarity inversion is application specific. 

The normal operating position is 

0

 degrees.  

5. Input Sensitivity (Gain) Switch. 

The optimum gain setting will depend upon the source pre-amp operating level, and or personal preference.

 

The 1v setting is used when the source is 

single-ended

, or from a transformer coupled 

balanced

 source. 

 

This is the 

home theatre

 setting for

 single ended

 or un-balanced operation.

   

The 1v setting provides the most amplifier gain - 29 dB. (1v in = 100w @ 8 ohms.) (noise -110 dB)

 

 A signal level of 

1.1v

 at the input is required to deliver 120W into 8 ohms (rated output).

 

The 2v setting is used when the sources output is actively 

Balanced

 

This is the 

home theatre

 setting for balanced operation  Or use this setting with any systems where 

 

the volume control rotation is limited to the bottom half of the control or less.     

 

The 2v setting provides an amplifier gain - 23 dB. ( 2v in = 100w @ 8 ohms.) ( noise -112 dB )

 

 A signal level of 

2.2v

 at the input is required to deliver 120W into 8 ohms (rated output).

 

The 4v setting is used when the source pre-amp has a high output level, or in ultra sensitive systems where 

 

the volume control rotation range is still limited when using the 2v setting. 

 

Some pre-amps may be unable to deliver enough level to use this setting. 

 

The 4v setting provides an amplifier gain - 17 dB. ( 4v in = 100w @ 8 ohms.) ( noise -115 dB )

 

 A signal level of 

4.4v

 at the input is required to deliver 120W into 8 ohms (rated output).

The noise is referenced in dB below rated output of 120 watts. Different input configurations result in slightly different 

noise readings. The above noise ratings represent minimum readings, actual readings may be better.
