INSTALLATION
The M•2600 amplifier
must only be installed in a
rack. See page 29 for spe-
cial details regarding rack
mounting and thermal considerations.
DO NOT BLOCK THE VENTILATION PORTS The M•2600 draws its ventilation air in from the front and out through the side panels. It needs plenty of fresh air to stay cool.
CONNECTIONS AND SETTINGS
1. The output terminals are capable of high voltage output, so for your safety, the POWERswitch must be off before making any connections.
2.Turn the GAIN controls fully down (counterclockwise) for now.
3.Set both LOW CUT FILTERcontrols to their TYPICAL marks (35Hz).
4.Set the LIMITER switch on.
Note: If you’re using the M•2600 to power a subwoofer, you probably do not need an external crossover. Please see page 28 for details.
5.Determine which AMP MODE is best for your application:
•STEREO mode (separate left and right inputs, separate left and right outputs) is the typical setup for amplifying stereo signals.
•MONO mode (sometimes called Dual- Mono mode — one or two inputs, two mono outputs) is for sending a mono signal to two different speaker sets, with separately- adjustable level controls.
•BRIDGED mode (sometimes called
Note: In BRIDGED mode, 4 ohms is the minimum speaker impedance you should connect to the amplifier. If you connect a lower impedance load, the amplifier may go into PROTECT mode and the SHORT
LEDs will turn on. Then the audience will turn on you.
6.In STEREO mode, connect
from your signal source to the M•2600’s INPUT jacks, either XLR or TRS:
•The XLR and TRS inputs for each channel are wired in parallel.
•The balanced XLR inputs are wired
pin 2 = hot (+), pin 3 = cold
•The 1/4" TRS inputs are wired tip = hot (+), ring = cold
