POWER SUPPLY 
 
Dual power transformers are connected out of phase and thoroughly shielded to 
minimize radiated hum fields. Split primaries allow use on 115 or 230 VAC, 50/60 
Hz. Primary bypass capacitors and a secondary Metal Oxide Varistor provide line 
transient protection. Adjustable regulators A2 and A3 provide +/- 18 VDC outputs 
set by trimpots Rl and R6 respectively. These regulators are adjusted to +/- 20 
VDC for +30 dBm output models. Zener diodes CR3 and CR5 reduce the 
regulated voltage to +/- 15 VDC for amplifier A4. A regulated +6 VDC supply and 
a zener-derived -6 VDC output operate the logic section. 
 
INSTALLATION 
 
MOUNTING 
 
Optional rack mount brackets, P/N 21181-1 are available for your DAs. These 
aluminum extrusions are mounted under the two truss head screws on either 
side near the front. Tighten these screws securely. Your DA mounts in 1-3/4 
inches (I RU) of rack space. 
 
Your DA may be desk mounted on its' non-slip suction cup feet and left out for 
everyone to see since it is so pretty. You can also stack DAs on top of each 
other. We don't recommend stacking over 30 high on a desk unless you are over 
8 feet tall. 
 
WIRING 
 
The AC ground wire can cause a ground loop with your station ground. If you are 
sure your station ground will provide adequate protection to personnel in case of 
an AC line short to chassis, a 3 to 2 AC adapter can be used to isolate the power 
line ground. We recommend that the adapter be removed and the power line 
ground reconnected prior to any service work requiring removal of the station 
ground from the chassis. 
 
The four inch silver bearing copper strap, which you are, of course, using for your 
station ground is not going to fit around the #6 chassis ground screw on the DA 
rear panel. Run the strap to within a few inches of the chassis and jump to the 
chassis ground with shield braid. 
 
Audio inputs and outputs should be connected using the rear panel labels as a 
guide. Hi outputs are all in phase with each other and in phase with the Hi inputs. 
The fanning strips are Kulka part number 649A22 and extras are available from 
our parts and accessories department. For convenience, the fanning strips may 
be easily cut into shorter input or output sections.
