2.3 Ensuring Proper Cooling When using an equipment rack, keep a minimum space of 4 inches (10cm) from the top surface of the unit. Close any open spaces in the rack with blank panels. DO NOT block any air vents. The side walls of the rack should be a minimum of 2 inches (5 cm) from the amplifier sides.
2.5 Output Wiring and Connectors To drive distributed speaker systems designed to operate at 70V or 100V, connect to the corresponding output terminals. JBL recommends using prebuilt or professionally wired, high-quality, two-conductor, heavy gauge speaker wire. Speakers wires should be twisted cable, if possible. To prevent the possibility of short-circuits, the wires should be stripped back no greater than 6 mm (1/4 inch), see Figure 2.5.
Figure 2.6 Wiring Audio System CSR-V Professional audio system LEVEL 2.6 Wiring Your Audio System Typical input and output wirings are shown in Figure 2.6. INPUTS: Connect input wiring for both channels using either the RCA or the Euro- block input for each channel. OUTPUTS: You may use either low impedance or high impedance speakers.
2.7 Connecting to AC Mains Connect your amplifier to the AC mains power source (power outlet) with the supplied AC power cord. First, connect the IEC end of the cord set to the IEC connector on the amplifier; then, plug the other end of the cord set to the AC mains. When properly connected to a live power source and switched on, the power ring should illuminate with a blue color.
3.0 Operation 3.1 Precautions Your amplifier is protected from internal and external faults, but you should still take the following precautions for optimum performance and safety: Before use, your amplifier first must be configured for proper operation, including input and output wiring hookup. Improper wiring can result in serious operating difficulties.
3.2 70/100V Switch When this switch is in the “OFF” position, the amplifier is configured to drive low impedance speakers, (4 Ohms ,minimum) The Hi-Z switch will switch in the built-in output transformer allowing the unit to drive 70V or 100V speaker systems directly when connected to the appropriate output terminals.
4.0 Troubleshooting CONDITION: No power to the amplifier so that the power ring is not illuminated. POSSIBLE REASON: The amplifier is not plugged into the power receptacle CONDITION: No sound or low sound. POSSIBLE REASON: The input signal is not present or at a very low level. POSSIBLE REASON: The Master Volume control is turned down.
