routed directly to the respective power amp channel. The crossover frequency is fixed at 100 Hz and
cannot be changed. The crossover configuration is a four-pole Linkwitz-Riley approximation.
HIGH OUT JACKS
9
This 1/4" jack supplies high-frequency output signals from the activated crossover for patching to
this amplifier and/or additional power amplifier inputs. Unlike the low-frequency crossover output
that is automatically routed to the associated channel, the high-frequency output signal must be
patched to some suitable input in order to complete the bi-amped system. This 1/4" jack also pro-
vides an unbalanced (tip/sleeve) output to be patched with single-conductor shielded cables.
CONN. MODE SELECT SWITCH
10
Depressing the rear panel CONN. MODE select switch connects both input connectors together in
parallel. This directs the same input signal to both channels and allows one connector to be used
with a patch cable to drive another amplifier. In the OUT position, both input connectors operate
independently. Do not operate the CONN. MODE select switch with the amplifier powered on. See
the sections on Stereo, Parallel and Bridged Mono Mode for more information.
SELECT SWITCH
11
The rear panel AMP MODE select switch determines if the amplifier is in stereo (two channels) or in
Bridged Mono Mode. Do not operate the AMP MODE select switch with the amplifier powered on. See
the Operations Mode section for more information on Stereo, Parallel and Bridged Mono Mode applica-
tions.

CONNECTING INPUTS

12
Input connections are made via the 3-pin XLR (pin 2+) or 6.3 mm plug "Combi" connectors on the rear
panel of the amplifier. The inputs are actively balanced. The input overload point is high enough to accept
the maximum output level of virtually any signal source.

CONNECTING OUTPUTS

13
All models have two output (speaker) connections per channel. Cables can be connected with banana
plugs, spade lugs, or bare wire to the five-way binding posts. The preferred method is connection via the
