WARNING: To reduce the risk of Fire or Electric Shock, Do Not Expose this apparatusto rain or moisture. Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases shall be placed on the apparatus.

WARNING: Only connect unit to AC mains outlet providing protective earthing connection.

NOTE: Mains plug is used as disconnect device from the mains and shall remain readilyaccessible and operable.

CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.

CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL OR PLACE THIS UNIT IN A BOOKCASE, BUILT-IN CABINET, OR IN ANOTHER CONFINED SPACE. ENSURE THE UNIT IS WELL VENTILATED. TO PREVENT THE RISK OF SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD DUE TO OVERHEATING, ENSURE THAT CURTAINS AND ANY OTHER MATERIALS DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE VENTILATION VENTS.

Always follow these basic safety precautions when installing and using the unit:

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these instructions.
Keep these instructions.
Heed all warnings.
Follow all instructions.
Do not use this apparatus near water.
Clean unit with dry cloth.
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade, or the third prong, are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when not used for long periods of time.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

CAUTION: TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRICSHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE ANY FRONT/BACK COVERS OR PANELS. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions.

6. External DC Supply InputConnections for an external 24V DC supply to power the amplifier.7. Speaker OutputsOutput terminals for connection to either 70V, 25V, or low-impedance speaker types.8. Input 1- Balanced LINE/MICInput 1 will provide an electronically-balanced input with selectable gain suitable for linelevel signals, including dry loop telephone signals as well as balanced low-impedance microphones.The associated slide switch sets the input for LINE, MIC or PP (MIC with phantom power). This input can be set to mute Inputs 2, 3 & 4 when active.9. Mute SendThe ability of Input 1 to mute Inputs 2, 3, and 4 can be enabled or disabled using this switch.

10. Inputs 2 & 3 – Balanced LINE/MICInputs 2 and 3 will provide an electronically balanced input with selectable gain suitable for line-level signals, including dry loop telephone signals as well as balanced low-impedance microphones.The associated slide switch sets the input for LINE, MIC or PP (MIC with phantom power). These inputs are muted by Input 1 when muting is enabled.11. Input 4 – Unbalanced AUXProvides a high-impedance input through a set of stereo combining RCA jacks. This input is muted by Input 1 when muting is enabled.12. REC OutputThese RCA connectors provide a signal-level output of the program material provided to the speaker.13. AC MainsAC mains voltage will be provided through an IEC connector with fuse holder and detachable 3-conductor IEC cord. The nominal line voltage is 120V AC, 60 Hz.

Output Connections

Speaker Outputs

The amplifier’s speaker output terminal strip provides connections for 70V and 25V speaker systems, as well as low-impedance speakers loads of 4- or 8-ohm impedance. Connect one end of the speaker load to the COM terminal and the other side of the load to the terminal corresponding to the type of system being driven (transformer-coupled 70/25V speaker or low-impedance speakers without transformers).

REC Output

This set of RCA connectors provide a signal-level output of the program material provided to the speaker. Both outputs supply the same mono signal (not stereo). This signal is suitable to drive recording devices or another amplifier. This output is after the Bass and Treble controls.

Input Connections

Balanced – LINE/MIC Inputs (1 to 3)

Inputs 1 through 3 are compatible with balanced telephone/line-level signals and microphone-level signals. Wiring for balanced MIC and balanced line signals are the same with the positive signal line going to “+”, the negative going to “-” and the cable’s shield going to G. The + and – designations refer only to the phase of the signal, so even if the + and – connections were reversed, the amp would still work fine. See the Operation section for details on setting the associated switches. Input 1 has the ability to mute Inputs 2, 3, and 4 when active depending on the setting of the Mute Send switch.

Unbalanced – LINE Inputs (1 to 3)

Inputs 1 through 3 can be wired to accept mono unbalanced signal sources. Configure a balanced input for unbalanced use by shorting the G terminal to the “-” with a small jumper wire. The unbalanced signal’s hot lead is then wired to the “+” terminal and the shield is connected to the G terminal.

AUX Input 4

Input 4 is a stereo-combining input, compatible with unbalanced line-level (AUX) signals. This input may be muted by audio activity at Input 1 depending on the setting of the Mute Send switch.

24V DC IN

The amplifier can be powered by an external power source that can supply 24V DC and at least 3 amps of current. Wire the power source to the terminals observing the polarities marked on the terminals.

Operation

For balanced, low-impedance microphones, the switch should be set to the MIC position.
For balanced, condenser microphones, the switch should be set to PP which will provide phantom power to the microphone.
For balanced line-level or telephone-level signals, the switch should be set to LINE. If using the input with an unbalanced line-level signal, the switch should also be set to LINE (see the section on input connections for instructions on unbalanced input wiring).

Mute Send

The mute send switch is used to disable Input 1 from mutingInputs 2, 3 and 4. Set this switch to ON if audio-activated muting of Inputs 2, 3 and 4 by Input 1 is desired. With this switch set to OFF, the amplifier will act as a 4×1 mixer with no priority override.

Cooling

VentilationThe amplifier is passively cooled so care must be taken to make cool air available to the amplifier. Do not operate this amplifier in environments that get hotter than 100 deg. F. If the amplifier is to be free standing, do not remove the feet on the amp since they provide a space on the bottom of the amp for cooling air intake. Likewise do not slide books or papers under the amp which will reduce the intake area for the cooling air. Be certain not to place anything on top of the amp which will block the top ventilation slots. Keep anything mounted above the amplifier at least 1.75 inches away.

Accessories

Rack Mount AdapterA rack mount adapter RPK93 is available to allow mounting of either a single amplifier or two amplifiers side by side. The amplifier and rack mount adapter use 2 rack spaces (2RU) of height.

NOTE: One (1) rack space both above and below the amplifier will also be needed to ensure proper ventillation.
