4Output connections

Speakers can be connected via the high current binding posts and the industry-standard Speakon (NL-4) connectors.

Binding posts: One pair (Red- hot, Black- ground) per channel.

Speakons - One connector for each channel. In Bridged Mono mode, the Speakon connector for Channel A is used exclusively (see Operation Modes).

5Ground lift switch

The recessed two-position ground lift switch is used to isolate the amp’s signal ground from the chassis/AC ground.The factory default setting is to the right, Grounded.To lift, or disconnect the signal ground from the chassis/AC ground, slide the switch to the left.

In situations where chassis ground must be lifted, use this switch - never lift the ground prong on the AC connector.

6Input connections

Input signals can be connected to the amp via the Phoenix connec- tors, the 1/4” TRS connectors and the Female XLR (pin 2 hot) con- nectors. Input sensitivity is .775v (0 dBv) for full rated output power. See Connections

7Mode selector switch

This recessed, three position switch configures the amplifier for Stereo, Parallel or Bridged Mono operation. The default factory setting is Stereo. See - operation modes.

In situations where an UNBAL-

important to ground the unused

 

input. If the inverting (-) input of an

 

amp channel is left floating, the chan-

 

nels gain will drop by 6 dB. In effect,

 

the amp will not be as loud. For more
