1Caution: To prevent electrical shock make sure that the AC POWER CORD IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE SE84ZS when inserting or removing Vacuum Tubes, as there are haz- ardous voltages present at the pins of the Tube Sockets.

2When Vacuum Tubes are installed or removed make sure to seat them properly in the tube sockets. A properly installed Vacuum tube should seat all the way down making the tube pins no longer visible.

3If the SE84ZS has been on , understand that the tubes will take time to cool off before they can be safely removed.

4For additional connection information, refer to the owner’s manual for any components connected to the SE84ZS.

5It is very important that loudspeaker cables of adequate size be used, so that there will be a minimum power loss. The size is specified in Gauge numbers or AWG (American Wire Gauge). The smaller the Gauge number, the larger the wire size.

6Connection Terminals will accept up to a 8 AWG wire size:

If your loudspeaker cables are 50 feet (38.1m) or less, use at least 14 Gauge. If your loudspeakers are 100 feet (76.2m) or less, use at least 12 Gauge. NOTE: Beyond power loss, there can be other sonic reasons to employ larger Gauges.

DECWARE makes a speaker cable guaranteed to be in the top 5% sonically regardless of price, called ZENSTYX. It is often recom- mended with this amplifier even in shorter lengths of 10 feet.

The fuse is integrated into the IEC power cord connector at the back of the SE84ZS.

Use a

GMA (20mm x 5mm) 250 volt

3 amp fuse only.

TO ACCESS FUSE, REMOVE POWER CORD and

PRY FUSE HOLDER LOOSE WITH SMALL

SCREWDRIVER AS SHOWN.

Connector Information

The SE84ZS is fitted with what are called “single ended” RCA type input connectors. These are located along the rear of the ampli- fier. Another popular type of connector is known as XLR or “balanced” inputs. The SE84ZS does not use balanced inputs because contrary to popular belief they do not automati- cally sound better. Balancing is a system wide concept developed for pro audio to reduce noise an facilitate long cable runs of in many cases over 100 feet.

The speaker binding posts are designed to facili- tate the use of bare wire by inserting it in the horizontal hole and tightening the post down onto it. They can also accept a spade connector with the same tightening technique. In addition there are vertical holes visible in the top of each binding post that are designed to accept banana jacks.

BOTH INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTORS are color banded to indicate left / right or positive / negative. The RED is POSITIVE or RIGHT CHANNEL.

The fuse holder contains a spare fuse as shown. To reinstall just snap the new fuse in place and snap the fuse holder back into the IEC connector.

WARNING

NEVER INSTALL A FUSE WITH A HIGHER RATING THEN SPECIFIED. NEVER ATTEMPT TO BYPASS THE FUSE OR DEFEAT ITS INTENDED PURPOSE !
