Stereo / Mono Input Configuration
The STEREO / MONO switch allows the Orion 8002 amplifier to use a single RCA or high- level input to feed signal to both the right and left channels of the amplifier. When the switch is to the right (MONO position), signal from the left input is routed to the right chan- nel. When the switch is to the left (STEREO position), right and left inputs are independent. This allows a source unit with an internal balance to change the stereo imaging.
Input Gain
The Orion 8002 amplifier has separate front and rear level gain adjustments. The input sen- sitivity of these adjustments range from 200mV up to 5V. This allows easy integration from any source unit. Refer to the Testing the System and the Adjusting the Sound of the System sections for detailed instructions on setting up the level controls.
Remote Gain Operation
The remote gain port provides easy remote access to the internal gain structure of the HCCA power amplifier. The

Auxiliary Output Configurations
The auxiliary outputs on Orion amplifiers offer easy, unlimited system expansion. Routing signal from a source unit,
When the switch is in the GAIN position, the RCA outputs are buffered through the gain stage of the amplifier. When the first amplifier in the signal chain is set this way, a remote gain controller
When the switch is in the MASTER position, the RCA outputs are buffered through the gain stage of the amplifier and filtered through the crossover sections of the amplifier. When set this way, the amplifier's gain and crossover settings are sent to other amplifiers down the sig- nal chain. This can be useful for configuring multiple subwoofer amplifiers easily in a large SPL system. All subsequent amplifiers after the master amp will be in the COPY position and have their gains set to zero and all crossovers turned off. The master amplifier will control all the functions of the slave amps via the MASTER RCA output signal.
