INPUT CIRCUITRY
The Strategy 400 Stereo offers extremely sensitive input circuitry: 0.2 volts will produce full power when the Level control is turned fully up. This means you can actually plug in many signal sources directly without needing a preamplifier. The output from virtually any effect unit is strong enough
OUTPUTS
Each channel of the Strategy 400 offers two 8 ohm plus two 4 ohm quarter inch jacks for connection to speaker cabinets. Unlike transistor amps, the 400 will produce full power at either 4 or 8 ohms, and mismatching of speaker impedance will not cause damage or severe loss of power (extreme mismatches will decrease tube life however). Avoid running either channel without a proper load or damage may result. When using more than one speaker cabinet on a single channel, remember that the total impedance goes down as more cabinets are hooked up. For example, if you use one 8 ohm cabinet, use one of the 8 ohm jacks. But if you use two 8 ohm cabinets on the same channel, they will be operating in parallel and the total load will be 4 ohms. Therefore plug each cabinet into a 4 ohm jack.
LED POWER INDICATORS
The output power of each channel of your Strategy 400 is continuously monitored by simple LED indicators. Reflecting the logarithmic relationship of loudness and power, the first LED comes on at 12.5 watts
POWER AND STANDBY SWITCHES
AC Mains power is turned on via the Power switch and indicated by the pilot light. Before switching on the power, place the other two front panel switches in the Standby position. Allow 20 to 30 seconds of
