TIP
TIP
* For monural (mono) systems, depress the PARALLEL button (IN) and only use CHANNEL 1 input (speaker hookup iden-
tical to stereo). Mono is normally recommended for live stage applications. Live stereo sounds great in the center of the
audience, however, the audience on one side will not hear the program material presented on the other side.
HELPFUL HINTS
speaker connector only and your bass response will improve.
6) THE AMP’S REAR CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPS: When the red
CLIP LEDs are flashing at 2 (4 bridged), the rear circuit
breaker may trip. This is normal. Reset breaker & reduce level.
7) MAIN AC BREAKER TRIPS: Each high powered amp may require
a separate 20 amp circuit breaker (230V: 10 amp) for delivering
full power. Note: Some 120V homes have only 15 amp breakers.
1) NO SOUND FROM CH 2: The rear BRIDGE switch has been
inadvertently pushed in.
2) STEREO CHANNELS SOUND THE SAME: The rear
PARALLEL switch has been inadvertently pushed in.
3) NO HIGH FREQUENCIES: Tweeters or midrange drivers have
been damaged or blown from feedback or overpowering.
4) SYSTEM HUM: Try switching the GND LIFT switch IN or OUT
(depending on your use). If hum is not eliminated, then use a 600
line input transformer cutting the input ground on the connectors
(Pin 1). This isolates the input ground from the AC power ground
eliminating a system ground loop.
5) POOR SOUND (BASS): The speaker systems are wired out
of phase to each other. To correct, reverse the wires on one
