We recommend you to design the power distribution for at least the current at 1/8 power, and 1/3 power for heavy-
duty demands such as concert touring and industrial music etc.

The heat power

 can be calculated as follows:

If a headroom figure of at least 5dB (1/3 of full power) is used with a 4 ohms load on each output of the amplifier.
The 1/3 power per channel is then; 650 / 3 = 217watts, and the total output power = 2 x 217 = 433 watts.
The power consumption according to the chart above is then 1330watts.

The heat power produced

 is the difference between the power consumption and output power;

1120 - 433 = 687 watts total for the amplifier.

CONNECTIONS

7.1 Input 

connections

7.1.1

 

Balanced inputs

XLR Input connectors are active balanced and wired according to the 

IEC 268

, that is pin 2 hot, and wired in the

following way:

PIN 1

GROUND/SHIELD

PIN 2

HOT (+)

PIN 3

COLD (-)

 

 XLR input connector

 XLR balanced

Within the Neutrik Combojack there is a _î(6.3mm) phone jack, which is wired in parallel with the XLR.
