The pin assignments of the balanced XLR output connectors are as follows:

Pin 1: Signal ground

Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)

Pin 3: Signal – (inverting)

Shield ground: Chassis ground

Please refer to the operating manual of your amplifier to verify that the pin assignments of the input connectors correspond to the SM6 balanced outputs. In the event that they are not compatible, the interconnecting cable will need to be altered to suit.

Input Voltage and Fuse Rating

Input Voltage

It is important that the SM6 be operated from the correct AC mains voltage. This unit is factory set for the voltage applicable to the original country of destination.

The SM6 will operate satisfactorily within a voltage variation of up to ±5% of that voltage at which the unit has been set.

If you require the voltage setting to be altered, e.g. relocation to another area, city or country, or extraordinarily high or low voltages, please contact your Perreaux dealer. Qualified service personnel can only perform this modification.

Never attempt to connect the unit to the incorrect voltage. Severe damage can result from applying incorrect voltage to the unit.

Fuse Rating

The fuse rating displayed here, refers to the rating of the mains inlet fuse.

For more information on fuse ratings, please refer to Chapter 13 “Specifications”.

Never replace the fuse with any other ratings other than the one specified.

Serial Number

The serial number is unique to your SM6. Please record this number and store it in a safe place. For any service related enquiry, please be prepared to quote the product serial number to Perreaux personnel or their service representative.

Remote Trigger Outputs

Two parallel remote trigger outputs are provided to switch on or off any connected peripherals to the SM6. In the event that it is not possible to cascade connect peripherals, two outputs are provided. The remote trigger outputs are designed to accept a mono, 3.5mm diameter, male jack. The voltage rating is +5V DC when ON and 0V DC when OFF with maximum current being 10mA.
