Guided Tour - S83 Rear Panel
5:Amp In - This unbalanced input allows you to connect any external mono- phonic line-level signal directly to the S83 power amplifier. This input is not affected by either the ten-band graphic master equalizer or the S83’s Main Level control. The Amp In jack can optionally also be used as an insert patch point as follows:
•Ring - A preamp output which is affected by both the
•Tip - An amp input which is not affected by either the

6:Preamp Out - This unbalanced output provides a monophonic
7:Monitor Out - This unbalanced output provides a monophonic
8:Speaker Output - These are the S83’s main outputs; use these unbalanced jacks to connect the S83 to any speakers rated at 4 ohms or greater (that is, 4, 8, or 16 ohms). The lower the ohm rating, the greater the power output. We recommend the use of 4 ohm speakers for
9:CD/Tape In - Use these dual RCA input jacks to connect the output from a CD or tape player to the S83. When connected, the signal is mixed to mono and appears at Channel 8, at unity gain (the Trim control has no effect). From there, it can be equalized if necessary and routed to either of the two Effects sends (for routing to connected external processors, to the internal reverb unit, and/or to the Monitor output).
10:Heat sink - Make sure this anodized aluminum heat sink is unobstructed when the S83 is powered on. In particular, we recommend that you keep the rear of the rack open in order to release heat. If your rack does not have a removable rear, space should be left open on the front of the rack cabinet, espe- cially immediately above the S83— remember, heat rises!
