5.1POWER OUTPUT

The power output is balanced and off-ground potential. The output is factory-configured for the connection of 100V loudspeaker systems. Connection has to be performed by inserting the supplied 5-pole plug into the power output socket (17). Switching the output voltage to 70V, 50V or to low impedance operation (4 ohms) is possible using the plug-in bridge B411 on the printed board assembly 84187 (DPA 4120) respectively 84175 (DPA 4140) (see also paragraph 7).

If the distance between the amplifier and the loudspeakers exceeds 50 m, it is recommended to operate the speaker systems using 100V matching transformers, to reduce line attenuation. This additionally offers a simple way of distributing the output power capacity. In this way it is possible to connect a maximum of as many loudspeaker systems as it takes until the total power consumption of the entire speaker network equals the power output capacity
