8:POWER CORD: This heavy duty power cord must be connected to a grounded AC outlet of the proper volt- age for the amplifier to operate. IN

ORDER TO AVOID THE POSSIBILI- TY OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE OR BYPASS THE GROUND PRONG OF THE POWER CORD.

9:SPEAKON® JACKS: These heavy- duty output jacks offer an excellent method of connecting the amplifier to your speakers using cables terminat- ed with Speakon® type plugs. Use of these connectors is highly recom- mended under high power operation. When using the amplifier in the Mono Mode, you MUST use the middle Speakon® jack. Please refer to pages 6 and 7 for more information.

10:1/4" PHONE JACK OUTPUTS: These additional output jacks offer an alternative method of connecting to your speakers, using cables terminat- ed with 1/4" phone plugs. Since these jacks are not as well suited to high current applications as the Speakon® jacks, they are NOT recommended for extended use at high power levels, or when driving 2 or 4 ohm loads.

NOTE: In some areas 1/4” jacks are not acceptable for use on amplifiers capa- ble of high output power levels. For this reason the 1/4” jacks on your amplifier may be sealed – use ONLY the Speakon® jacks for connecting your speakers.

11:FAN INTAKE AREA: The internal cooling fan is mounted directly behind this cover, drawing cooling air into the amplifier to help prevent it from run- ning hot. This area must be kept free from obstruction! Check the Intake Area periodically and remove any for- eign materials if needed.

12:1/4" PHONE JACK INPUTS: These jacks accept line level signal sources by means of cables fitted with standard 1/4" phone plugs. Low impedance balanced or unbalanced, as well as high impedance sources, are acceptable for these inputs. Low impedance balanced inputs are to be wired as follows:

Tip: Signal +

Ring: Signal -

Sleeve: Ground

The input channel circuitry is trans- formerless electronically balanced, and requires a line level signal of 1.5V RMS or greater to drive the amplifier to full output.

In the Mono Mode, use the Channel A input jack.

13:LEVEL CONTROLS: These rotary potentiometers control the level or gain of each channel, with the fully- clockwise position of each providing maximum sensitivity. Normal calibra- tion of the SVP-1500 to a mixer would

cause the Limit LED to flash at the same time that the mixer's VU meters indicate full output, or "OVU."

In the Mono Mode, use the Channel A Level control.

14:MONO / STEREO MODE SWITCH: This push/push switch selects the operating mode of the amplifier. In the "out" position the amplifier is in the Stereo Mode; with the switch in the "in" position the amplifier is in the Mono Mode. In the Mono Mode, Channel A functions as the input channel; Channel B inputs will be dis- connected.

NOTE: Caution should be exer- cised! Improper hookup or mis- use of the Mode switch could cause damage to speakers. See the specific hookup configura- tions on pages 6 and 7.
