Connecting the Unit Setting the Gain for Synced Amplifier After connecting the speaker wires, adjust each synced amplifier's gain control. All synced amplifiers follow the master amplifier's settings. Quick Setup of the Gain Set each synced amplifier's gain control to the NORMAL position. This setting will balance output volumes sufficiently for most applications. Advanced Setup of the Gain Starting with the master amplifier, adjust the gain control on each amplifier in order. 1. Output sin wave through this system at low out- put level. 2. Use volt meter to measure the master amplifier's output voltage level. 3. Use volt meter to measure the synced amplifier's output voltage level. 4. Match the synced amplifier's output to the mas- ter's output using the gain control on the synced amplifier. 5. Repeat for the each synced amplifier in the proper order. Connecting the Speaker Wires Connect the speaker leads to suit the configuration according to the figures shown below and the next page. Single Amplifier • Speaker wire size must be 12 AWG minimum. • Load may be any combination of speakers but impedance must be 2 Ω or larger. MODE SELECT switch must be in MASTER position.

Connecting the Unit
Setting the Gain for
Synced Amplifier
After connecting the speaker wires, adjust each
synced amplifier
s gain control. All synced ampli-
fiers follow the master amplifier
s settings.
Quick Setup of the Gain
Set each synced amplifier
s gain control to the
NORMAL position. This setting will balance output
volumes sufficiently for most applications.
Advanced Setup of the Gain
Starting with the master amplifier, adjust the gain
control on each amplifier in order.
1. Output sin wave through this system at low out-
put level.
2. Use volt meter to measure the master amplifier
s
output voltage level.
3. Use volt meter to measure the synced amplifier
s
output voltage level.
4. Match the synced amplifier
s output to the mas-
ter
s output using the gain control on the synced
amplifier.
5. Repeat for the each synced amplifier in the proper
order.
Connecting the Speaker Wires
Connect the speaker leads to suit the configuration according to the figures shown below and the next page.
Single Amplifier
Speaker wire size must be 12 AWG minimum.
Load may be any combination of speakers but impedance must be 2
or larger.
MODE SELECT switch must be in
