Example: If a capacity of C = 500 pF is needed, select the base capacity of = 420 pF. Then add an additional capacitor of C = 82 pF to the EXT. input C/R ext. 15 or 16 to get the required input capacity of 500 pF. Note In the above example the arithmetically resulting value of 80 pF was replaced with the suitable capacitor of 82 pF from commonly available... -
Page 37: Security Advice
During connecting or removing the PAM G2 to/from sources and/or power amplifiers all units have to be switched off to prevent damage of the PAM G2 or any of the other connected units. ¨ Use dry cloth for cleaning! ¨ Do not place the EPC directly under/above or to the left of the PAM G2! Otherwise the transformers in the EPC might induce hum- ming into the signal path of the PAM G2. -
