Rack Mount Power Amplifier

Speakon

®

is a registered trademark of Neutrik USA

Installation and Operation:

Main/Monitor Combinations:

Another application of the Stereo Mode (see page 8) is using one channel of the amplifier for the house speakers and the

other for the monitors. The

MONO/STEREO SWITCHES

(#16 & #17) must both be in the OUT position.

Either the binding posts or the Speakon

®

jacks may be used to connect the amplifier to the speakers. See the wiring dia-

gram below for the Speakon

®

jacks.

NOTE: Your speakers may benefit from a low frequency cut, since frequencies below a speaker’s low-end response limit can
cause distortion or even damage. For this reason you might consider using an appropriate Low Cut Frequency (see #19 & #20)
with your speakers. Monitor speakers usually need a low cut for best performance (SPA-1400C only).
