Chapter 4 Operation Section
For SSM systems incorporating mono input channels, the Pre Fader 
Listen (PFL) level may be adjusted with this recessed trim pot. Use care 
when inserting a screwdriver as other components could be damaged. 
 
These unbalanced 1/4" T.S. phone type jacks are the left/right outputs 
for the stereo program master. The signal present at these jacks is 
adjusted by the Program Master Control on the front panel. 
 
The use of these connectors does not affect the operation of the balanced 
XL connectors. 
 
The balanced left and right program feeds utilize the highest quality 
nickel core output transformers for hum rejection and sonic purity. The 
signal present at these connectors is adjusted by the Program Master 
Control on the front panel. 
 
The left and right program feed is capable of driving up to three high 
impedance bridging inputs simultaneously. The program feed 
connectors are available for interface to the input of an external console, 
stereo tape recorders etc. 
 
The use of the balanced XL connectors does not affect the operation of 
the unbalanced 1/4" connectors. 
 
As long as the potential for an electrical disparity exists between the 
Model SSM and any interconnected equipment not on the same AC 
circuit as the SSM (eg: a cue feed from a control room console), 
transformers will remain a key element in resolving some of the primary 
audio problems that may result such as unwanted hums and buzzes. 
Speck has provided input and output transformers 
in key positions on the mixer; cue and click inputs and the left/right 
program outputs. For more specific user information, refer to the 
sections on cue and click returns and program feeds.
