SWITCHING ON

The Mains power switch (14) is located on the rear panel of the amplifier. This switch should be left ON for normal operation. If unattended for a long period, the Mains power should be switched OFF and the lead disconnected from the power supply.

When switched ON from the rear panel, your Kandy Power Amplifier will go to Operational mode and the MODE indicator light (1) will glow RED. The amplifier is now ready for use.

1If there is no signal (or the signal level is very low) the MODE indicator light will change to AMBER after approximately 2 minutes

2If there is still no signal after approximately 10 minutes, the amplifier will revert to Standby mode and the MODE indicator light will glow GREEN

3As soon as there is a signal the Kandy Power Amplifier will ‘wake up’, the MODE indicator light will glow RED and after a couple of seconds the outputs will be activated.

USING THE TRIMMERS

Please refer to the rear panel views on page 4.

There are two or three Trimmers (7, 8 & 9) that can be utilised to reduce the gain of any of the channels and thus reduce the output level on that channel. In this configuration the input signal to that channel must be connected to its Trimmed Input socket only (not the Straight Input). When connected as such the gain on that channel can be reduced as indicated below.

NOTE: To avoid damage to the trim pots always use a good quality flat blade electrical trimmer.
