The PA-30 is designed and built to provide years of trouble-free service with little or no maintenance. Its well built power transformer easily handles continuous...
• Do not install this apparatus in a confined space such as a book case or similar unit. • The apparatus draws nominal non-operating power from the AC outlet with its POWER switch in the off position. TASCAM PA-30...
Summary of Operating Precautions • Do not use the PA-30 if the power cord appears frayed or broken. • Do not spill liquids into or on the PA-30 chassis. If the chassis becomes wet, allow it to dry thoroughly before reconnecting the unit.
Protection indicator lights. Once the PA-30 is turned off and the fault condition is cleared, the Protection circuit will automatically reset, and normal operation can be resumed (provided that the fault has not damaged the unit).

Connections' before making connections to the PA-30 outputs. 9. Mains Power Cord The inlet for AC power to the PA-30 is a two-prong ungrounded plug (rear panel mounted). The PA-30 requires 120/230 volts AC at 50/60 Hz. It draws 8 watts at idle, and 130 watts at full rated output.
Figure 5 for wiring details. to this figure when determining the types of cables and adapters to use in connecting to the PA-30 XLR inputs. Take care to observe the polarity conventions indicated; input polarity reversals may cause acoustical phase cancellation, resulting in unnatural sound.
Connection and Installation Output Connections Each channel of the PA-30 will drive a minimum load impedance of 8 ohms. Connecting a load of lower impedance will result in current limiting and may trigger the Protection circuits to shut down the amplifier.
The PA-30 rear panel includes a switch that selects either normal stereo mode or a special mode termed BTL (Balanced Transformerless). The setting of this switch determines the maximum power available to the load from the PA-30, and also decisively affects how the load is connected to the amplifier.
