screw connector. To mute any output, short its pin to the ground pin (). Multiple outputs

can be shorted at the same time. To mute all outputs at once, short pin A (all) to the ground pin.

The P/2 DA8 A model uses two 3.5 mm, 5-pole, captive screw connectors. The P/2 DA12 A model (shown above) uses two

3.5mm 4-pole connectors and two 3.5 mm 3-pole connectors. For connections to captive screw receptacles, the length of the exposed wires is critical.

NThe ideal length of stripped wire is 3/16” (5 mm):

If the stripped section of wire is longer than 3/16”, the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them.

If the stripped section of wire is shorter than 3/16”, the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

CDo not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become loose over time.
