power into 8 ohms. When all three jacks are engaged, the amp produces full power into 4 ohms
LINE OUTPUT LEVEL (6)
Controls the signal level at the line output jack. This control may be used as a balance control when slave power
amp/speaker systems are driven from the line output.
LINE OUTPUT (7)
The line output provides a signal with level control to drive other power amplifier/siave speaker systems. (See Line Output
Level)
DIRECT OUT (8)
Provides 600 ohm, transformer balanced signal to be used as “direct” patch into mixing consoles, tape recorders, etc. The
signal at this point has been frequency compensated for low noise operation

is
necessary
to

the
equipment
without
proper

facilities,
suitable
grounding
adaptors
should
be
used.
Less

greatly
reduced
shock
hazard
exists
when
the
unit
is
operated
with
the
proper
grounded
receptacles.
FUSE (13)
The
fuse
is
located
within
the
cap
of
the

should
fail,
IT
MUST
BE
REPLACED
WITH
THE
SAME
TYPE
AND
VALUE
IN
ORDER
TO
AVOID
DAMAGE
TO
THE
EQUIPMENT
AND
TO
PREVENT
VOIDING
THE
WARRANTY.
If
the
amp
repeatedly
blows
fuses,
it
should
be
taken
to
a
qualified
service
center
for
repair.

If
this
situation
arises,
position
the
