4.

Do not place the amplifier near heat sources such as radiators, heat 
registers, stoves, or other appliances that product heat. 

 
5.

The amplifier should be only be connected to 120 VAC, 60 Hz 
power supply. Do not defeat the ground or polarization of the power 
plug. 

 
6.

Route power cord and other cables so that they are not likely to be 
walked on, tripped over or stressed. Pay particular attention to  

        condition of cords and cables at plugs, and the point where they exit 
        the amplifier. To prevent risk of fire or injury, damaged cords and 
        cables should be replaced immediately. 
 
7.

Clean the amplifier with a clean damp cloth. Do not use solvents or 
abrasive cleaners. Never pour any liquid on the amplifier. 

 
8.

When left unused for a long period of time, the power cord should be 
unplugged form the outlet. 

 
9.

Damaged Amplifiers requiring service. The amplifier should be  

        serviced by a qualified service technician when: 
 

a.      The power cord or AC plug has been damaged. 
b.      Objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the unit 
c.      The amplifier has been exposed to rain or other moisture 
d.      The amplifier does not appear to operate normally or 

exhibits a marked change in performance. 

e.

The amplifier has been dropped or the enclosure  

         damaged. 
 

10. The user should not attempt to service the amplifier beyond that 

described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should 
be referred to qualified service personnel. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wiring Inputs in Parallel 
 

Wiring XLR and Barrier Strip in parallel (as throughputs to other  
equipment) requires special consideration when combining balanced and  
unbalanced lines. 

Connecting an unbalanced lines described above to 

any input will render all inputs on that channel unbalanced. 

If it is  

necessary to combine balanced and unbalanced connections on the same 
channel, the unbalanced connector must not ground the Negative (-) input. 
In the case of the Barrier Strip, this means using the + and - leaving the 
ground terminal unconnected. When using the XLR connector(s), pin 3 
must be left unconnected (not tied to ground as  
described above). 
 

Output Wiring

 

 
Outputs are available via both 5-Way Binding Posts. The Binding Posts will 
accept bare wire of up to 6 AWG, spade lugs, hook lugs, and a single or 
dual banana plugs. When wiring speakers in stereo, red binding post is  
connected to the speaker’s positive terminal; black is ground. 

 

Selectable High Pass Filter 
 

The selectable high pass filter for each channel is located on the bottom of 
the amplifier. One of the three different frequencies (32Hz, 68Hz, 150Hz at 
12dB per octave) may be selected via the white recessed slide switch.
