Gain adjustment 
With the amplifier connected to the speaker load, use the gain 
adjust potentiometer (R116) to get a 25 Vrms or 70 Vrms signal 
(depending on JP2 setting) with a 1Vrms
 
1 kHz tone at the 
amplifier input. If a oscilloscope is used to adjust levels, use the 
following peak-to-peak voltage levels: 
•  25 Vrms = 71V
PP
 
•  70 Vrms = 200 V
PP
 
The amplifier must be connected to a load to properly adjust the 
gain. In the event the actual speaker circuit can not be used, a 
dummy load must be fabricated according to Table 8-16. The 
wattage rating of the dummy load must exceed the output power 
rating of the amplifier. 
 
Table 8-16: Amplifier dummy load values 
Output power  25 Vrms output  70 Vrms output 
30 Watts  20.8 Ω @ 30W  167Ω @ 30W 
50 Watts  12.5 Ω @ 50W  100Ω @ 50W 
 
To maintain DC supervision and keep the amplifier out of 
trouble while adjusting the gain, connect a 47 kΩ EOL resistor
