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

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.
