3.8 Mode Selector

The switch on the rear panel changes the operating mode. Moving this switch will shutdown the amplifier and restart it in the new operating mode.

3.9 Wiring

3.9.1 E.U.I. and XLR Connection

XLR: Pin 1 = Ground (or lifted via 15 resistor) Pin 2 = Hot (inphase)

Pin 3 = Cold (out of phase)

Always use symmetrical (balanced) shielded cable to connect the amplifier.

3.9.2 Stereo Operation

Two fully independent amplifier channels (normal operating mode).

3.9.3 Parallel-Mono Operation

Parallel operation of the two channels together.

The output terminals of the two channels are configured in parallel using an internal relay. The (single) load is connected either to the output of channel A or to that of channel B (as if in stereo). While the total output of the amplifier remains the same and the output voltage level is also the same as in stereo op- eration, the minimum impedance that can be connected is reduced by half due to the fact that current capability is doubled. Only channel A-Input is active.The channel B-Input is inactive – turn the volume on channel B down to zero. This
