Power Amplifiers Types 2716 and 2716-C – User Manual 13) Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when not in use for long time periods. 14) Do not connect an amplifier output in parallel or series with any other amplifier’s output. - Page 8 It is also advisable to save the carton and packing material, even if the amplifier is undamaged. Should you ever need to ship the amplifier, always use the original packing. 1.3.2 Front Panel Fig.1.1 Front panel of Type 2716 Gain Gain -10 -7 -10 -7...

Operation Modes 2.2.1 Stereo Mode Fig.2.1 LINK / BRIDGE A+B Types 2716 and 2716-C rear link STEREO 030035 In this mode, both channels operate independently of each other. This is used for all 2- channel modes, such as stereo and bi-amping. Set the two switches to the ‘off’ position for stereo mode. - Page 11 Power Amplifiers Types 2716 and 2716-C – User Manual Note for Bench Test NOTE: Channel B is always polarity reversed on the input, but polarity compensated by feeding the minus pin on the Channel B output with the output voltage. Channel A output is connected in normal polarity mode.

Page 14: Chapter 3 Installation
Chapter 3 Installation Mounting The amplifier is one rack unit high (1U) and will mount in a standard EIA 19″ rack. Amplifiers may be stacked directly on top of each other; there is no need for spacing between units. If it is the intention to fill a rack with amplifiers, we recommend racking be started from the bottom of the rack. -
Page 15: Grounding
Power Amplifiers Types 2716 and 2716-C – User Manual Grounding The amplifier’s signal ground and chassis ground (protective earth) are not directly connected to each other in order to prevent ground-loop interference. However, internal components ensure that the potential difference between chassis and signal ground does not exceed approximately 0.6 V. -

CHAPTER 4 Connections 4.1.2 Unbalanced Inputs To connect an unbalanced source, tie pin 3 (ring on TRS jack) down to the shield of the connector. If you leave one pin disconnected, you will lose 6 dB. A better method for using unbalanced sources is shown in Fig.4.5. This is similar to the connection for balanced lines, but pin 3 is connected to the shield at the source. - Page 19 Power Amplifiers Types 2716 and 2716-C – User Manual ® Fig.4.6 Channel A and B into two separate Speakon units OUTPUT CH.

Page 24: Protection Features
Chapter 6 Protection Features Each Brüel & Kjær amplifier has many advanced protection features, protecting both the amplifier and the speakers connected to it should a fault condition arise. Under normal use, these features are inaudible. All protection circuits are independent. Clip Limiter The clip limiter is included to prevent dangerous, clipped signals reaching the speaker and damaging it. -
Page 25: Thermal Protection
Power Amplifiers Types 2716 and 2716-C – User Manual Thermal Protection If the amplifier is driven very hard into a low-impedance load, the temperature will rise. If these causal conditions continue, the Protection indicator(s) will illuminate, indicating that the amplifier is about to go into thermal shutdown. -
Page 26: Chapter 7 Maintenance
Chapter 7 Maintenance Under normal use, the amplifier should provide years of trouble-free service. In some extreme cases, however, it may be necessary for authorised service personnel to clean the inside of the amplifier. These conditions usually occur after prolonged use, e.g., in environments using ‘cracked-oil’... - Page 27 Power Amplifiers Types 2716 and 2716-C – User Manual...
