Classic Compact 82 A / 122 MA - MANUAL
5
THE POWER AMP SECTION:
A power amp’s output in watts depends on the electrical
resistance (impedance) of the connected speakers. The
speaker combination employed in the CLASSIC
COMPACT 82 A has an impedance of 16 ohms, the
CLASSIC COMPACT 122 A has an impedance of 8 ohms.
The integrated power amp puts out 80 watts RMS at 8
ohms. If you connect another 8 ohm cabinet, then the
power amp delivers 120 watts of continuous power.
The power amp stage of the CLASSIC COMPACT ACTIVE
CABINETS is protected from short circuits, so they cannot
be shorted out by defective speaker cables.
AC RECEPTACLE:
Standard Euro-mains socket for connecting the active
cabinet to a 220V AC outlet. The power cord is factory-
included.
ON/OFF SWITCH:
The red control light illuminates when the switch is in the
ON position. Before turning the active monitors on, make
sure you switch on any mixing consoles, signal
processors, etc. you have connected to them first!
SPEAKER:
Output jack for connecting additional passive speakers.
Ensure any additional cabinet has an impedance of 8
ohms or more so that the overall impedance does not
drop below 4 ohms.
8 ohms + 8 ohms = 4 ohms
16 ohms + 16 ohms + 16 ohms + 16 ohms = 4 ohms
CONNECTING SEVERAL ACTIVE CABINETS:
You can connect several active cabinets in series or in
parallel via the 12/2’s and 12/2 MA’s PARALLEL OUT
and LINE OUT jacks. Depending on the circuit, you can
adjust the volume either
Fig. 1: individually (PARALLEL OUT), at each cabinet, or
Fig. 2: collectively (LINE OUT), at the first cabinet in the
signal chain.
CAUTION:
- Never install fuses with anything but original
specifications!
- If the AC fuse blows, make certain you identify and
correct the problem before powering up again.
SIGNAL SOURCE: CHANNEL:
- mixer/preamp - LINE
- tape deck/CD player - LINE
- instrument - LINE or MIC
- microphone - MIC
If you want to connect a record player, you may need a
separate equalizer/power amp, depending on the model.
