7. VDE SOCKET
It allows the insertion of the cable with VDE connector.
WARNING!
• The connectors of this section are also used as power switches.
• Do not obstruct the rear heat sinks of the amplifier. If the module heats up excessively,
the audio volume is gradually reduced until the module is thermally stabilized. The audio
is automatically restored when the normal operating temperature is reached.
• In the event of a malfunction, remove power supply immediately and disconnect the
module from the power mains. Contact an authorised repair centre.
• Never attempt to disassemble the amplifier in any way.
• Only use cables with original, high quality Neutrik® connectors. Periodically check their
integrity.
