Output Connector.
Amp Confi guration DIP Switch: DIP switch
selection for multiple functions.
1. On: Sets CH1 to Mic Input. Off: Sets CH1 to
Line Input.
2. On: Sets CH1 to Normal mode (no priority).
3. On: CH1 priority contact closure mutes other
channels.
4. On: CH1 VOX mutes other channels by sens-
ing signal through Input 1.
5. On: Routes CH1 to MOH output.
