T
he Model 6 Amplifiers offer unprecedented compatibility with associated
audio components. When connecting or disconnecting speaker or
interconnect cables, it is only necessary that the FRONT PANEL
STANDBY/POWER buttons be pressed to switch the Amplifiers to standby
mode. The button will not be illuminated in this mode.
1 When installing the interconnect cables, a slight click may be heard
when the XLR interconnect plugs are installed correctly and latched.
The latch (located on the input connector and labeled PUSH) must be
pressed to remove the XLR interconnect cable.
2 When using RCA unbalanced interconnects from your preamplifier or
other source component, install the supplied XLR/RCA adapters into
the XLR input connector on each Amplifier. The Amplifiers will still
operate in the fully balanced (Differential Mode™) configuration.
3 Unscrew the positive and negative OUTPUT connectors and install the
positive and negative loudspeaker cable spade terminals respectively
to each Amplifier OUTPUT. Red is normally positive; black is normally
negative. ALWAYS USE THE SUPPLIED SPEAKER TERMINAL HAND
WRENCH WHEN CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING LOUDSPEAKER
CABLES. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THESE TERMINALS.
WARNING: Both positive and negative OUTPUTS of both
channels are electrically active with respect to chassis and/or system ground
potential. It is important that both of these outputs are electrically isolated
from system ground potential. This precludes the use of these Amplifiers in
certain loudspeaker switching configurations (sometimes used in retail
demonstrations) and testing or servicing situations where either positive or
negative outputs can be connected to ground potentials. Failure to observe
these precautions may result in damage to the Amplifiers and may void your
warranty. Consult the factory first if the Amplifiers are to be used under
these conditions.
Remote

A REMOTE connector (DIN 5-pin) is provided on the rear panel of each
Amplifier for remotely switching the Amplifier between operational and
standby modes. The pin connections on this connector parallel the
electrical contacts of the FRONT PANEL STANDBY/POWER button and
lamp. An optional wired remote switch or infrared wireless remote
sensor can be plugged into the REMOTE connector to facilitate this
function. Contact your dealer or Jeff Rowland Design Group for further
information and availability of this feature.
