Assembly hints 1.3 Soldering Hints : 1- Mount the component against the PCB surface and carefully solder the leads 2- Make sure the solder joints are cone-shaped and shiny 3- Trim excess leads as close as possible to the solder joint REMOVE THEM FROM THE TAPE ONE AT A TIME ! AXIAL COMPONENTS ARE TAPED IN THE COR- RECT MOUNTING SEQUENCE !

Test & adjustments • Turn the RV1 bias adjust trimmer fully counter clockwise (turn left) before applying power for the first time. ADVICE: For safe first-time testing insert a 60W light bulb in series with the AC power and the trans- former.
Page 17
Test & adjustments Final connection: • The input (GND and in) can be connected directly to an audio source (pre-amp or mixing panel) or a vol- ume control (potentiometer) can be used (see diagram). • Connect the speaker (4 ohm or higher) to the connections LS+ and GND. CAUTION: VOLTAGES OF ABOUT 80V ARE PRESENT.
