ConplE: to details on tho vari.ous anplifiers used in tho console
will be found in tho individual instruction books inoluded in
tho back of this nanual.
Hovwver, a word h0ro about the c ir-
cui try wiJ.l ai.d in explaining overall console setup.
The pre--
anps, monitor booster amps, cue--int0rcon amp and the nonitor
amps, helve transfornerl0ss output circuits.
Grounding of ex-
ternal Hiring is critical for best noise figures and to avoid
crosstalk, especially i.n the high gain cue·-jnt0rCO::l anp.

The Grounding of tho cue·-intercol:) system is
also very cri.tical.
Do not allow any part; of the external
speaker or oth()r S;),st()D to be grounded.
They are grounded i.n
the console.
ShiE:lding of all 8xternal spGaker lines is ne-
cessary to prevent hUB and possible regen"ration.
