The LEVEL meters light according to the output level.
wINPUT LEVEL Controller
This knob is used to control the input signal level.
The level can be adjusted from 0dB to -30dB. (This level
should normally be set to “0dB” and the volume control on
the preamplifier, etc., that is connected to the amplifier
should be used to control volume.)
eFastening Screw

rINPUT Jacks
These jacks are used to supply the ampli-
fier with the input signal.
Connect these jacks to the PRE OUT jacks
on a pre-amplifier, etc.
The XLR (balanced) input wiring on the BI
type is; 1: GND, 2: HOT, 3: COLD.
tSPEAKER Connections
These are the amplifier’s speaker outputs.
Connect the jack/terminals to speakers.
Make sure that the impedance of the
speaker connected to the jack is 4Ωor
more.
yAC Power Connector
This is the unit’s AC power connector.
AC power is supplied via the DPA-M1600’s.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
If this product is found to be the source of interference, which can be determined by turning the unit
“OFF” and “NO”, please try to eliminate the problem by using one of the following measures :
Relocate either this product or the device that is being affected by the interference.
Utilize power outlets that are on different branch (circuit breaker or fuse) circuits or install AC line
filter/s.
In the case of radio or TV interference, relocate/reorient the antenna.
If the antenna lead-in is 300 ohm ribbon lead, change the lead-in to coaxial type cable.
If these corrective measures do not produce satisfactory results, please contact the local retailer
authorized to distribute this type of product.
If you can not locate the appropriate retailer, please contact Flying Mole Corporation.
