between them. For example, an extreme but perfectly acceptable case would be 31mV
for V7+/V8+ & 37mV for V5+/V6+.
All Victory amplifiers are constructed using Posidrive Screws & Machine Bolts. These are
an improvement on the Phillips type of fixing which uses a 4-blade screwdriver. The
Posidrive uses an 8-Blade screwdriver which allows for more precision and higher torque.
Please use Posidrive Screwdrivers when working on a Victory amplifier to avoid damaging
any fixings. These are readily available from all good tool suppliers. We recommend
having a No.1 and a No.2 point Posidrive screwdriver.
Speaker Outputs
PLEASE NOTE: The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle,
is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated ‘dangerous voltage’ within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitud
e to constitute a risk of electric
shock. Terminals labelled as “Speaker Outputs” must be connected to a speaker cabinet
of the designated load rating using an un-shielded two conductor cable for speaker use at
all times during operation. Never use a guitar cable to connect the amplifier to a speaker
as this presents the amplifier with a ‘capacitive load’. This can cause instability or
oscillation which may seriously damage valves and/or the expensive output transformer.
Always ensure a speaker is connected to the amplifier before powering up or damage to
the output transformer may result. Never unplug a speaker when the amplifier is ON as
this is even more likely to damage the transformer and the output valves.
The output transformer in the V140 has 3 separate secondary windings; a 16 Ohm, an 8
Ohm and a 4 Ohm. This makes it easy to connect many different combinations of
speakers. There are five speaker output jacks: 1 x 16 ohms, 2 x 8 ohms, (wired in parallel),
2 x 4 ohms, (wired in parallel).
So here are all the possible combinations:
1.
For a single 4 Ohm cabinet, use either of the 4 Ohm sockets.
2.
For a single 8 Ohm cabinet, use either of the 8 Ohm sockets.
3.
For a single 16 Ohm cabinet, use the 16 Ohm socket.
4.
For a pair of 8 Ohm cabinets, use both of the 4 Ohm sockets
5.
For a pair of 16 Ohm cabinets, use both of the 8 Ohm sockets.
Always ensure a speaker is connected to the amplifier before powering up or damage to
the output transformer may result. Never unplug a speaker when the amplifier is ON as
this is even more likely to damage the transformer and the output valves.
