FAN COOLING – The chassis is cooled via a thermal sensing fan design. The fan is always ON but will increase in speed as demand on the amp increases. Do not obstruct the left or right chassis vents.

SPEAKER OUTPUTS – The SHUTTLE®9.2 provides two Neutrik Speak-On™ connectors (wired 1+/1-). The speaker jacks are paralleled. The minimum speaker load is 4 ohms. Do not ground either the “+” or the “-” outputs.

POWER INPUT – VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH - The SHUTTLE®9.2 utilizes rear panel switch selectable universal power supply that operates from 100V to 240 volts, 50 to 60 Hz for world wide use. Simply set the switch to the appropriate AC mains voltage (BEFORE connecting to the power source), and utilize the proper IEC cord-set appropriate for the country the product is being used.

For countries using 100V, 110V, 115V and 120V AC mains, select the 115V switch position on the Voltage Selector switch.

For countries using 220V, 230V, and 240V AC mains, select the 230V switch position on the Voltage Selector switch. There is no externally accessible AC mains (line) fuse. The internal fuse is integral to the SMPS power supply and is not user serviceable. This fuse will not fail except under very unlikely fault conditions to the SMPS, and if this occurs a qualified service technician is required to correct the problem.

CHASSIS DESIGN – The SHUTTLE®9.2 ULTRA LIGHT DESIGN utilizes the highest quality aircraft grade, computer machined aluminum chassis. To clean the amplifier, nothing more than a damp cloth and a little bit of glass cleaner (like Glass Plus®) should be used.

RACK MOUNTING – The SHUTTLE®9.2 is designed for optional rack mounting in a standard EIA style 19” equipment rack or tour-case. Optional rack mounting kit is available from your dealer: Model# STL-RK.

GIG-BAG– A custom padded carry bag with shoulder strap is available as an optional accessory from your dealer. Model# STL-BAG. This padded bag is ideal for convenient carrying of the amplifier. Do not operate the amplifier inside the carry bag, as the chassis aluminum construction and cooling fan inlet vents are part of the amplifier’s cooling mechanism.
