SPEAKON VS. 1/4" JACKS
We have found the Speakon connection to be superior in both stability and amperage conductivity, and so we have provided Speakon output jacks in addition to the standard 1/4" jack. If using the Speakon output jack, we highly recommend the use of a
SPEAKER CABLE
The speaker cable you use to connect your SWR system should be made of at least 18 gauge wire,
and heavier if possible. (The thicker the wire, the lower the gauge, so 18 gauge is heavier than 20 gauge, 16 gauge is better than 18 gauge, and so on.) DO NOT use instrument cables to hook up your speakers. This can result in intermittent power loss, cause the power amp to oscillate and damage itself and/or your speakers, and render the cables useless for any purpose.
SPEAKER FUSE
The speaker fuse is provided to protect your speakers in the unlikely event of a power amp failure or incorrect connection proce- dure. Size and rating of the fuse is 3AG, 15 amp,
LINE (MAINS) FUSE
The size and rating of the Line Fuse is 3AG, 12 amp,
protect the transformer in the unlikely event of a power supply failure. NEVER replace this with a fuse of a higher rating as it will void your warranty.
A/C CORD RECEPTACLE
This receptacle accepts a standard A/C power cable (supplied with the Power 750), the same kind used with almost all current musical, professional and household electronic devices. If this cable is misplaced or lost, a replacement can generally be found almost any appliance store, supermarket or the like. Make sure that the AC cord is plugged firmly into both the amplifier and the wall socket. If your cord ever becomes frayed or split, replace it IMMEDIATELY.
NOTE: The rating for the A/C cable is 3 conductor, 10 amperes MINIMUM. If replacement is necessary, or if you wish to buy a longer cable, look for the rating on the cable and be sure it is at least 10 amps.
COOLING FAN DEFEAT SWITCH
Your Power 750 features a cooling fan for protection against excessive heat. The "ON" position activates the fan in its normal operating mode. We recommend leaving the fan switch set to the "ON" position for the majority of the time that the amplifier is in operation, as continuous cooling can help extend the life of the internal components. The "DEFEAT" position removes the power source from the fan so that it will not operate. This position should be used in situations where the noise floor is so low that normal fan noise would be noticeable or distracting, such as close micing in a recording studio.
• Please note that it is normal for the cooling fan to be audible at low levels.
