T
he Model 8T/Ti Amplifier offers unprecedented compatibility with
associated audio components. When connecting or disconnecting speaker
or interconnect cables, it is only necessary that the INPUT MUTE switch be
in the ON position if the Amplifier is already in operational mode.
1 Position INPUT SELECT switch to XLR if you are using XLR balanced
interconnects or to RCA if you are using RCA unbalanced
interconnects from your preamplifier or other source component.
2 Select one input — either BALANCED XLR INPUTS or UNBALANCED
RCA INPUTS — on each channel to match your interconnect cable
used.
3 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.
4 Unscrew one set of the PARALLEL OUTPUTS connectors on each
channel and install the positive and negative loudspeaker cable spade
terminals to the respective Amplifier PARALLEL OUTPUTS. Red is
normally positive; black is normally negative. Since both upper and
lower PARALLEL OUTPUTS are electrically identical, the extra set can be
used in loudspeaker bi-wire configurations. ALWAYS USE THE
SUPPLIED SPEAKER TERMINAL HAND WRENCH WHEN CONNECTING
OR DISCONNECTING LOUDSPEAKER CABLES. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN THESE TERMINALS.
WARNING: Both positive and negative PARALLEL OUTPUTS
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 this Amplifier in certain loud-
speaker 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 Amplifier and may void your warranty. Consult
the factory first if the Amplifier is to be used under these conditions.
Remote

A REMOTE connector (DIN 5-pin) is provided on the rear panel 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.
