PARALLEL OUTPUT CONNECTORS

These outputs allow you to send a copy of the input signals to another amplifier or component in your system. The output is not affected by the volume or EQ controls.

There will only be an output here if the Input DIP switch Pin 1 is set in the UP position (see page 5 for details).

The output has four different styles of connections. Choose one that suits your system the best:

17.XLR connector. This can accept a female balanced XLR connector.

18.TRS connector. This can accept a balanced TRS or unbalanced TS 1/4" connector.

19.Phoenix (Euroblock) connector. This three-pin connector accepts the positive, negative and ground terminals of a balanced audio line. It accepts a push-in connector for easy installation.

20.Terminal strip. The three-terminal connectors labeled +, –, and GND, accept the positive, negative and ground terminals of a balanced audio line. Secure the connections with the screws.

21. Low Cut Filter

Press this button in to engage the low-cut filter on the output of the amplifier. It is fixed at 100 Hz with a 12 dB slope per octave, and it serves to minimize transformer saturation in constant voltage systems. Frequencies below 100 Hz are attenuated at a rate of 12 dB per octave.

22. External Volume Control

This terminal is provided for remote volume control. If you connect a (user-supplied linear-taper 10K pot), you can remotely control the volume of the amplifier in the same way that the front panel volume control does.

23. Fault Relay

If a fault is detected in the amplifier section, the positive terminal of this external connector is energized. This external connector can be used to connect to an external device to initiate a “fault” action as dictated by the user. Additionally, the “fault” LED on the front of the amplifier is lit.
