Rane SSA 6 - Manual (Page 3)

Manual-3
REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION
1. INPUTS: These are standard unbalanced RCA connectors. For balanced sources consult Rane Note 110.
2. NORMAL/BRIDGED switches: With the switch in the out position and the LED indicator on, the SSA 6 is operating in
BRIDGED mode. The SSA 6 utilizes the BRIDGE switch to make internal connections between each pair of Channels: 1&2,
3&4, and 5&6. Whenever a signal is connected to an odd numbered Channel (say channel 1), the next even-numbered
Channel is driven inverted when the BRIDGE switch is activated. When the BRIDGE switch is inactive, the internal
connection is defeated and both Channels operate independently. Inputs should be connected to Odd Amplifier Channels
only (1,3,5), and speakers connected to the “+” terminals of each Channel pair as shown on the SSA 6 chassis silk-screen.
3. OUTPUTS: Connect the speaker(s) to each of the six Channels by means of the Euroblock connectors with 18 to 12 AWG
wire (See #2 for Bridged operation).
4. AC line cord: Plug this into a grounded AC outlet of l20VAC (or 240VAC if the SSA 6 is internally wired for 240V
operation). NOTE: If you use an adapter to plug the SSA 6 into a non-grounded outlet (three-to-two prong adapter), be sure
to screw the ground adapter to the outlet by means of the cover plate screw.
5. Line fuse: Use only a 15 amp 250 volt Fast-blow (or Normal blow—not Slow blow) fuse, 1.25" long, such as Buss ABC-15
(120 volt) or equivalent. For 240 volt use Buss ABC-8 or equivalent.
6. Fan filter: This washable filter may easily be removed for periodic cleaning by gently pulling on the black plastic housing
and then lifting it away–perform this feat with the fan off, of course. Once the filter is removed, rinse it under hot tap water;
and use dish soap to cut through particularly stubborn pollution deposits.
IMPORTANT: Keep this filter clean to ensure proper cooling and reliability of the SSA 6. Never remove the filter with the
unit plugged in.
The SSA 6 draws a tremendous amount of air to ensure proper cooling and resultant long term reliability. Check and clean
the filter as often as necessary, especially if the thermal overload indicator ever comes on.
