Figure 3. XLR input connector pinout There are also TRS jacks for linking etc. They are wired as follows: RING COLD SLEEVE SHIELD/GROUND Figure 4. TRS phone plug The input impedance is high enough (20 kohms balanced) to allow ”daisy-chaining”, or multiple parallel input connections.
gure 8. Balanced line with unbalanced equipment 7. Connecting speakers Speaker connections are made via the two Neutrik NL4FC Speakon connectors (1). They are the only connectors currently available to meet the EC safety requirements. They are wired in the following manner: Pin -1 Speaker ground.
Tandem mono For tandem ( dual channel-single input) operation , depress the Link switch. Both channels can now be driven by a signal, at either input connector. The output connection is the same as in stereo mode. You can use either TRS connectors for linking out etc.
0 dB for full power in 4 ohms. Figure 12. Front indicators Protection features Each LAB.GRUPPEN amplifier has many advanced protection features, that will protect both the amplifier and the speakers connected to it, should a fault condition arise. Under normal use these features are inaudible.
Design features Cooling The LAB.GRUPPEN amplifier runs very cool due to a patented heat sink called Intercooler output devices (bi-polar) are mounted directly on a copper heat sink thereby avoiding thermal losses normally found when using mica washers (the heat...
AC option available. To check if the amplifier is equipped with this option, please follow these steps: 1. Make sure that the LAB 500 is unplugged from the mains voltage. 2. Remove the top cover. 3. Locate the terminal block for the mains cable.
