INPUT SECTION

The M400/4-24V's input section allows you
to send signals to the amplifier section through
the use of two or four differential inputs.
Input connections are made via one or two
pairs of traditional RCA-type jacks.

inputs and set the "Input Mode" switch in the
"8 Ch." position.
If you wish to feed all eight channels by using
only four channels of input, set the "Input Mode"
switch to "4 Ch." and use only the inputs to
channels 1, 2, 5 and 6. In this mode, input 1 will

feed channels 1 and 3, input 2 will feed channels
3 and 4, input 5 will feed channels 5 and 7 and
CH. 2
CH. 4
input 6 will feed channels 6 and 8.
If you wish to use only two channels of input
to deliver signal to all eight amplifier channels,
set the "Input Mode" switch to "2 Ch." and
use only the inputs to channels 1 and 2. In this
mode, input 1 will feed all the odd-numbered
channels (1, 3, 5 and 7) and input 2 will feed all
-24V
the even-numbered channels (2, 4, 6 and 8).

Input 2 feeds CH. 2, CH. 4, CH. 6 & CH. 8

Input Voltage Range:
The M800/8-24V's input sections are designed
to accept signal voltages from 100mV – 4V. This
will accommodate all preamp level signals and
many speaker level signals.
To use speaker-level sources, simply splice the
speaker output wires of the source unit onto a
pair of RCA plugs for each input pair. (or use JL
Audio part XD-CLRAIC2-SW) No "line output
converter" is needed in most cases.
If you find that the output cannot be reduced

sufficiently with a direct speaker level signal

applied to the amplifier, you may use a "line
output converter" to reduce the signal level.

INPUT SENSITIVITY CONTROLS
The controls labeled "Input Sens." located in
each channel section can be used to match the
source unit's output voltage to the input stage of
each pair of amplifier channels for maximum

clockwise will result in lower sensitivity (quieter
