3. BUS Line Inputs / Outputs

The AMP1200 has two common or BUS inputs that

receives audio signals from standard line-level audioCLOSE UP OF CONNECTIONS sources and sends them to any or all channels. The BUS

line outputs are direct feed-through to allow the BUS inputs to be fed to other amplifiers. Be sure to use high quality RCA cables that feature low impedance, shielding and high quality connectors.

4. Remote Turn-On Switch

This switch selects the turn-on stimuli that will put the ampli -
