matic diagram is included in this supplement sheet.
A. GENERAL.
The 100-watt output of the basic Model PA300
was designed to drive a single high power speaker.
However, the essential difference between models is
that the PA300-012-NYSB can drive one or two 11-
ohm impedance, high or low power speakers. When
two speakers are used they must be connected in
parallel.
B. MANUAL CHANGES.
The following changes should be made to the
Model PA300 Installation and Service Instructions
(Part No. 255A198).
1. Page 2. Change the following paragraphs,
as shown below:
Frequency Range 800 to 1800Hz
Operating Current (14.0Vdc-WAIL)
1 Low Power Speaker 5 amperes
2 Low Power Speakers 10 amperes
1 High Power Speaker 10 amperes
2 High Power Speakers 15 amperes
Voltage Output (approx.)
1 Low Power Speaker 45Vp-p
2 Low Power Speakers 40Vp-p
1 High Power Speaker 64Vp-p
2 High Power Speakers 60Vp-p
2. Page 4, paragraph 3-3.A. Speaker. Change
to read:
A. Speaker.
The unit is designed to operate with one 11-
ohm impedance speaker or two 11-ohm impedance
low power (58W) or high power (100W) speakers,
connected in parallel and in phase. On FEDERAL
speakers, this can be accomplished by connecting the
two speaker leads marked “1” to the SPEAKER
COMMON control cable lead and the two speaker
leads marked “2” to the SPEAKER HI POWER or
SPEAKER LO POWER control cable leads See the
Control Cable Wiring Diagram (new).

7. Page 16. Change the parts list as follows:
a. Add:R59, 60- Resistor, 0.47 ohm, 2W,
10%. Part No. 130A130.
b. Change the Part No. of T2 to
120C165A-04.
c. Change the Part No. of the Circuit
Board (with parts installed) to 200C860-03.
