20.AC LINE IN: Firmly insert the supplied AC power cord into this socket until it is fully seat- ed. Plug the male end of the cord into a grounded AC outlet. DO NOT DEFEAT THE GROUND PRONG OF THE AC PLUG!

21.BAL. OUT: This jack supplies a line level signal for connection to a house mixing board, recording console or external amplifier. The sig- nal level at this jack is governed by the Post/Pre switch (#23).

22.GND/LIFT: Use this switch to lift the ground connection at the Bal. Out jack to help eliminate hum in the Bal. Out signal.

23.POST/PRE: The signal at the Bal. Out jack (#21) can be set to either Pre or Post-EQ with this switch. With the switch in the OUT position, the signal at the jacks is Pre-EQ. This is a direct output not affected by any EQ or boost settings. With the switch depressed, the signal is Post- EQ and is controlled and modified by the tone controls and the effects loop.

24:TUNER OUT: This jack is provided for con- nection to an electronic tuner and is always “live,” even when the Mute switch (#3) is engaged. This allows for “silent tuning” as well as a monitor feed which stays hot even when the house mix is muted.

25.SPEAKERS: These output jacks supply speaker-level power to the speaker cabinet. The rated power output is 1300 watts rms

into 4 ohms or 2500 watts rms into 2 ohms (minimum load).

WARNING: Use speaker cables to make the connections. Do not use instrument cables as they may overheat.

Pin 1+ = hot

Pin 1– = return

26.CIRCUIT BREAKER: The SVT-8 PRO employs an AC line circuit breaker to help pro- tect against damages due to excessive current demands. If the amplifier stops working, check the circuit breaker.

27:POWER AMP IN: This jack connects an external preamp directly to the power amp. When using an external source, connect the output of the source to this jack by means of a shielded signal cable to feed the signal into the power amp section. The internal signal is dis- connected when a connector is inserted into this jack.

28.PREAMP OUT: Use this jack to send a sig- nal from the internal preamp to an auxiliary power amplifier, mixing console, monitor sys- tem, or house PA system. The signal at this jack is post-EQ.

29.EFFECTS LOOP RETURN: When using an external signal processor, connect the out- put of the device to this jack by means of a shielded signal cable.

30.EFFECTS LOOP SEND: When using an external signal processor, connect this jack to the input of the device by means of a shielded signal cable.

31.FOOTSWITCH: Connect a two-button (ring/tip/sleeve) footswitch to this jack to control the Power Reduction and the Mute functions. (Mute = tip/sleeve; Power Reduction = ring/ sleeve.)

NOTE: A footswitch may be purchased at your local Ampeg Dealer or ordered directly from LOUD Technologies Inc. Be sure to ask for model #AFP2.

IMPORTANT: This unit employs forced air cooling by means of an internal fan. The rear and side ventillation slots must remain unobstructed when operating this amplifier. When mounting the unit in a rack make sure there is ample room for proper air circulation. The rack must be constructed and positioned in such a manner to allow proper air flow and the exhausting of hot air away from the rack

at all times.
