Internal Adjustments

Overall Gain

The overall gain of the Model 302 Stereo Power Amplifier can be adjusted between 26 dB and 32 dB. The setting from the factory is 26 dB, which is adequate for the majority of applications, though some systems involving low efficiency loudspeakers may require the higher gain setting. There is no sonic difference between the two settings.

Because of the potentially dangerous voltages inside of the chassis, it is recommended that you contact your dealer for information regarding the overall gain setting adjustments.

Note: Do not attempt to disassemble the chassis of the amplifier and adjust the gain without explicit instructions from your dealer or Jeff Rowland Design Group.
