Input/output panel layout
1. RCA input jacks – These RCA input jacks are for use with source units that have RCA or Line level outputs. A
source unit with a minimum level of 200mV is required for proper operation.
The use of high quality twisted pair cables is recommended to decrease the possibility of radiated noise entering
the system.
2. Speaker level inputs – This input will allow the amplifier to operate from source units with speaker-level outputs.
Output speaker leads from the source unit should be tied directly to the wire harness provided with the amplifier.
**Note: When speaker level inputs are used, a remote turn on wire must used to switch the amplifier on and
off.**
3. Gain control – This control is used to match the input sensitivity of the amplifier to the particular source unit
that you are using. The operating range varies from 200mV gain fully clockwise to 5V input gain fully counter
clockwise.
