Pre-Out/Power Amp In Jacks (Rear Panel; #12, #13, #14)
These jacks permit the insertion of signal processing equipment into the
signal path between the preamp output and the power amp input. The LINK
switch should be in the IN position for normal operation. When using exter-
nal signal processing equipment, place the switch in the OUT position and
connect PRE OUT to the signal processing equipment’s input. Connect the
POWER AMP IN to the signal processing equipment’s output.
Note: Ensure that the LINK switch is in the IN position when NOT
using external signal processing equipment, otherwise there
will be no output from the amplifier.
Tape Out (Rear Panel; #15)
The TAPE OUT jack provides a line-level output to feed a recording
device. The output is not effected by the Master volume control or EQ, how-
ever, the output is affected by the microphone inputs’ Lo-Cut filter.
SPKR Out (Rear Panel; #3)
The SPKR OUT provides an amplified speaker level signal intended to drive
8 ohms, 25V, or 70V terminations. Each output pin is driven by the output
of an amplifier. Therefore, neither pin of the SPKR terminal can be con-
nected to chassis or Earth ground. Doing so will cause the amplifier to mute
the audio and re-main in Protect mode and flash the FAULT LED (page 9)
as long as the grounded connection remains.
Direct 8 ohms operation:
Direct 8 ohms operation consists of terminating (without speaker trans-
formers) the amplifier with:
• Two 4-ohm speakers in series
• One 8-ohm speaker
• Two 16-ohm or four 32-ohm speakers in parallel

NOTICE
The combined minimum impedance of a 70V/25V/8 ohm system should not be less than 8 ohms.
The combined total power of all speaker taps must not exceed 80% of the rated amplifier power for 70V/25V loads.
Distributed 70V or 25V Operation:
For 70V and 25V operation, use the appropriate 70V or 25V transformers as the installation requires at each speaker. The combined
total power across all speaker transformer input taps must not exceed 80% of the rated amplifier power. Also, the total distributed
impedance of all transformer inputs must not be less than 8 ohms.
