Long Speaker Lines

Whenever loudspeakers are connected to power amplifiers by long cables (above 20'/6m), there is invariably an increased risk of high frequency instability. It is aggravated by the combination of RF pickup in unshielded cables acting as aerials, and multiple complex reactances in the cable and loudspeakers.

High frequency instability can be avoided by adopting these common sense rules:

Ensure the input wires are shielded and that the shield is connected to the amplifier's input XLR pin 1.

Do not run output cables next to input signal lines. Keep apart, and preferably cross at right angles. If cables have to follow a similar route or path, keep them separated by at least 2 feet (0.6m).

The Cooling System

The cooling fans respond to temperature sensors within the unit to maintain a safe operating temperature. In the event of excessive temperature, the protection circuit will operate, disabling the output. The red ‘AUDIO-PROTECT’ (A/P) LED will indicate this condition. (See fault indicator.)

There are 4 fans connected permanently with variable speed and a jumper link to enable them from cold.

Normal dynamic signals will not cause the amplifier to overheat unless the ventilation is inadequate. (See installation section and maintenance section.)
