Square wave performance at 10kHz and 1kHz residual distortion. Connections The Cymbal connects to your audio system just like any other power amplifier. In some installations where the amplifiers are remoted from the signal source, you can use the ground lift switch S1 to disconnect signal ground from amplifier ground. The differential input stage has a common mode range of about +/-1Vdc, which helps to eliminate possible ground loop induced hum.
